The Double Degree Program of the Graduate School of Science and Technology, Niigata University

Transcription

1 As of April, 01 The Double Degree Program of the Graduate School of Science and Technology, Niigata University The purpose of the Graduate School s five-year (standard) integrated Master s and Doctoral Program is to cultivate highly creative individuals who possess a broad perspective and excellent research abilities in the fields of science, engineering, and agriculture. The double degree program currently accepts only applications for doctoral students in principle, until the graduate school is ready to provide an adequate international Master s double degree program. The major programs and the areas of specialization provisioned by the Graduate School are as shown on Table 1. The subjects and the number of credits for each subject in the doctoral program are as shown on Table and Table3. As for the subjects provided for in the preceding article, doctoral students in the double degree program must obtain either 19 or more credits, or 3 or more credits, depending on the requirements for completion of their degree program shown on Table. Credits earned from other graduate schools in or outside of Japan may be accepted as equivalent to the courses offered by the Graduate School of Science and Technology, Niigata University, upon evaluation. The number of transferable credits may not exceed more than six (6) credits in the Fundamental Sciences, Life and Food Sciences, and Environmental Science and Technology programs, and eight (8) in the Advanced Materials Science and Technology and Electrical and Information Engineering programs. The number of credits for the subjects in the Graduate School is calculated based on the following references: (1) For lectures and seminars, two () credits shall be awarded for 15 class units, whereas a 90-minute session is considered as one class unit. Time spent preparing outside of class is also a factor in this calculation. () For experiments and exercises, two () credits shall be awarded for 30 class units, whereas a 90-minute session is considered as one class unit. Time spent preparing outside of class is also a factor in this calculation. Each student shall be assigned to a primary academic advisor who will, in cooperation with two () assistant academic advisors, be responsible for supervising the student s study and research. The primary academic advisor shall be a professor in the student s area of specialization; however, upon approval by the faculty council, the academic advisor may be replaced with a substitute chosen from among professors, associate professors, or visiting professors in the student s major program. The assistant academic advisors shall be selected from among professors, associate professors, visiting professors, and visiting associate 1

2 professors in the doctoral program. A research supervisory committee (hereinafter referred to as the Supervisory Committee ) shall be formed to supervise each student s research and completion of the coursework. The Supervisory Committee shall consist of the student s academic advisor and assistant academic advisors. The academic advisor from the partner graduate school or institution for the double degree program is expected to work collaboratively with the Supervisory Committee to provide academic guidance and advising to the student. Under the guidance of the Supervisory Committee, the student must decide on the research topic and the courses to be taken. The student must decide on the courses to be taken during the academic year and submit a plan of study, using a prescribed form, to the dean of the Graduate School at the beginning of each academic year, in principle. Completion of a course will be certified and credit will be awarded based on required attendance and a passing grade on a written or oral exam, a research report, or other assessment the instructor might require. According to the Niigata University Rules on Degrees, a student ready to submit the dissertation and take the final oral defense must submit the Application for Final Oral Examination and the dissertation to the dean of the Graduate School by a prescribed date and under the guidance of the Supervisory Committee. Upon the preliminary review of the dissertation, the student may undergo the final oral examination on the dissertation and its related fields. The requirements for the doctoral degree are three (3) or more years of study in the doctoral program, obtainment of the number of credits provided for in Article 3, and, after receiving the required supervision of the student s research project, passing of the preliminary review of the dissertation and the final oral examination. As for the requirement of the period of enrollment, however, a student who is recognized by the faculty committee as having made outstanding research achievements will need to be enrolled in the doctoral program for at least one year. Based on faculty deliberation and voting on the doctoral degree award, the dean of the Graduate School shall certify the completion of the program provided for in the preceding article. A doctoral degree shall be awarded to those who have completed the doctoral program. The field of specialization accompanying the title of the degree shall be that of Philosophy, Science, Engineering, or Agriculture.

25 Example of Plan of Study with Transfer Credit [ SPECIAL CAUTION ] This table represents an example only. Since credits available for transfer are required to be approved by the Graduate School of Science and Technology on a case-by-case basis, students are strongly encouraged to confer with their advisors regarding this matter after admission.

26 Advanced Mechanical Science and Engineering 1. Expected Outcomes through the Study of this Program Students will (A) develop the ability to view nature, society and humankind from a broad perspective and to be aware of their responsibility to them. (B) become proficient in identifying, analyzing, and solving problems. (B-1) acquire an ability to evaluate and analyze machinery and equipment; and to understand and use highly functional, miniaturized technology as well as the medical applications of nano-technology and nanobiology. (B-) gain the ability to understand the integrated dynamic-characteristic analysis, and the safety and stability evaluation technologies of the mechanical and structural systems that constitute production systems; and learn to apply that knowledge to designing such systems. (B-3) gain the ability to understand and apply: materials-related plasticity control, microstructure control and microprocessing technologies; the designing of micromechanical parts; the scientific control of material surfaces and interfaces; and manufacturing technologies that have little impact on the environment. (C) demonstrate outstanding general academic communication skills; deliver persuasive presentations at international academic conferences; and utilize effective writing skills in academic journals..
