About KOSEN program

Each field of the college

The college offers a wide variety of specialized fields.

Mechanical Engineering and Materials Engineering

Mechanical Engineering and Materials Engineering

In the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science, students acquire the skills of engineers who can support industrial development through manufacturing and enrich people's lives. Because manufacturing is made up of a wide range of intertwining fields related to design and production, the curriculum is characterized by the acquisition of a wide range of specialized knowledge, including mechanical engineering, materials engineering, control engineering, and electrical engineering.

Furthermore, students will hone their creativity and applied skills, and undergo many experiments and practical training to develop practical problem-solving abilities, aiming to become engineers who will play a key role in the industrial infrastructure.

Construction and architecture departments

Construction and architecture departments

In the Department of Construction and Architecture, students learn specialized knowledge about the essential infrastructure facilities that enable people to live safe and comfortable lives in harmony with nature.

This department is divided into the civil engineering field, which is responsible for roads, bridges, and the environment, and the architecture field, which is responsible for building spaces.
What is unique about this field is that it is a technology related to humans and nature that has existed since before the Common Era, so you can gain a broad perspective by learning not only about engineering technology but also about history, culture, landscapes, and more.

Merchant Marine Department

Merchant Marine Department

In the Department of Merchant Marine, students learn the specialized knowledge required for ship officers, the maritime industry, and related technical fields. There are two courses: the Navigation Course, which trains navigators and captains, and the Engineering Course, which trains engineers and chief engineers.

The curriculum is structured to allow students to acquire practical skills as well as basic knowledge by incorporating many experiments and practical training on actual training ships. We train not only ship operation engineers but also engineers who can flexibly adapt to the maritime-related industry.

Departments in fields that meet social needs

Departments in fields that meet social needs

Departments that respond to social needs are rare among liberal arts departments at technical colleges. In addition to business administration and English, students also study languages ​​of the Sea of ​​Japan Rim, such as Chinese, Korean, and Russian, to develop practical business people who can play an active role on the international stage.

The fields that can be studied over five years are diverse, including not only business administration and English, but also accounting, direction, and international relations, so students can develop a broad perspective and expand their own options and possibilities.

Comprehensive Studies

Comprehensive Studies

A multi-disciplinary department is a one-year system such as the "Integrated Engineering Department" that combines multiple departments in order to more accurately train a new type of engineer with the diverse knowledge and skills that society truly needs.
In the lower grades, students take general subjects to acquire basic knowledge related to their specialized fields, and in the upper grades, they move on to courses that further enhance their specialization or courses in interdisciplinary fields. Many unique practical subjects are available, and by systematically taking creative, practical subjects, students aim to become engineers with creative, broad perspectives and practical skills.
