A fulfilling flexible curriculum - from the deep to the broad
Engineering education used to be just mainly to deepen the professional knowledge. However, manufacturing work nowadays is done in a "project-type" or "task force-type" way by a group of technical experts from various fields. Companies are looking for people who have both potentials of "a technical expert with deep knowledge in their specialties" and "a technical expert with broad knowledge in various fields". For this reason, NIIT offers engineering education programs which encourage students to master deep expertness and gain broad knowledge.
Students study engineering through a fundamental study program. Many elective subjects are offered and students can choose subjects that they are interested in. Liberal arts are also studied to acquire basic skills and a broad vision.
One course is chosen from the seven courses.
Mechanical and System Engineering
Advanced Manufacturing
Providing students with knowledge and skills related to the manufacturing of various products with a focus on the mechanical field.
Creating useful products capable of supporting both the present and the future requires the development of superior materials, the design and manufacture of machines, and higher-precision processing. To that end, in this course, students will acquire the knowledge and skills related to the manufacturing of various products with a focus on the mechanical field. In addition to design, processing, and manufacturing, students will also learn the fundamentals of mechanical engineering such as dynamics, vibration, and fluids as well as electrical engineering, CAD/CAM, and computer simulations.
Robotics and System Control
Providing students with the techniques for controlling the devices supporting modern society.
Our society is maintained by robots, automobiles, railways, distribution network, and various systems such as production and processing systems, all of which employ motors or similar power sources. Controlling these power sources using detection sensors is essential for ensuring accurate, safe, and reliable operation. Through this course, students will learn about the various control skills and techniques used for the myriad devices that support modern society. When looking at control of robots and other systems, students will also learn about the hardware (including the mechanisms and structures of the actual moving parts) and software (including the control applications used for specific tasks) involved.
Electronic and Information Engineering
Electrical and Electronic Engineering
Providing students with skills related to electronics, electrical engineering, and electrical energy technology—fundamental technologies for a modern world.
In this course, students will gain skills related to electronics, electrical engineering, and electrical energy technology, all fundamental technologies that are indispensable in modern world. With the goal of acquiring engineering and technological skills that can help contribute to manufacturing in a sustainable society, this course includes electrical and electronic circuit; electrical, electronic, and biomedical measurement; control engineering; electrical, electronic, and biological materials; electrical and electronic equipment; human interfaces; and electric energy.
Intelligent Information and Communication Engineering
Providing students with knowledge of intelligent information and communication technologies for ICT, AI, and IoT in support of digital society.
This course introduces students to intelligent information and communication technologies for ICT (Information and Communication Technology), AI (Artificial Intelligence), and IoT (Internet of Things) in support of the digital society of the future. With a focus on these three components, students will gain the skills necessary for a coordinated approach to software and hardware. Students will learn about computer operation principles, programming and information processing, and specialized technologies such as digital content development and communication systems.
Food and Environmental Chemistry
Food and Environmental Chemistry
Providing students with information on materials, the environment, biotechnology, food, and sustainable manufacturing technology.
Our planet faces a variety of pressing long-term issues, including limited resources and energy, climate change, water and food shortages, and excessive population growth. To solve these problems and to ensure a sustainable society, chemistry and biology are expected to play a significant role in future technological innovations. In This course, students learn about materials, the environment, biotechnology, and food from a chemistry and biology perspective. This knowledge will help students develop flexibility for coping with unpredictable situations and acquire the necessary techniques for sustainable manufacturing with a minimal environmental burden.
Architecture and Urban Engineering
Architecture
Providing students with the skills to create architectural spaces and living environments that enrich society.
Architecture is both a foundation of our daily lives and an important component of our local community. Through the well-balanced study of housing and building design and construction and of urban development, this course provides students with the skills to create architectural spaces and living environments that can enrich people’s lives.
UrbanEngineering and Disaster Mitigation
Providing students with the skills to construct safe and secure buildings and cities based on the study of architecture.
Faced with climate change and natural disasters, including earthquakes, severe wind and heavy snow, it is vital to construct safe and secure buildings and cities. Based on a foundation of architectural studies, students will learn about environmental planning and assessment, disaster prevention, and infrastructure development from a broad, urban perspective.
By making use of the mastered skills and knowledge, students get employed by companies relating to their specialized fields. For students who wish to research further may move on to graduate school.
