SUZUKA NATIONAL COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY

Advanced Engineering Faculty

The faculty provides a 2-year program for graduates of 5-year programs (a 7-year program in total). A goal is to prepare students to become engineers with an abundance of basic skills and advanced expertise that can respond to social changes from a broad perspective. Therefore, students not only receive training in their specialties, but also in advanced experiments and research so that they can cultivate their creativity, their ability to pursue research and development, and their ability to analyze and solve problems.

Students are also required to study the humanities to nurture their desire to contribute to society, to develop within them a sense of responsibility toward society and a corresponding sense of ethics.To improve communications skills in English, students are provided with a language learning system. The TOEIC isadopted as one of the standards to evaluate their performance.

Advanced Electronic and Mechanical Engineering Course

Intended for graduates from the Colleges of Technology who majored in mechanical, electrical and electronic, electronic and information, and system control, this course offers education and guidance in research to develop in engineers not only a good command of computers, but also with broad expertise and skills to increase competence in interdisciplinary fields.

Advanced Applied Chemistry and Material Engineering Course

This course is intended for graduates from the Colleges of Technology who majored in industrial chemistry, materials engineering, chemical engineering. Through profound and practical engineering education, it aims at providing students with broader knowledge and development skills to become engineers who can deal with the development of new functional materials, as represented by fine ceramics, and biotechnology, encompassing information transmission and life process.

Academic and Career Options

Recently, out of about 200 graduates of 5-year programs, 100 have gone on to the next stage of education, which comprises 30 proceeding to our graduate program and 70 transferring to colleges (most of them are incorporated in the 3rd grade at national universities). Meanwhile, 100 students seeking jobs have received 20-30 offers per applicant for the last three years. It follows that all the students have successfully obtained positions in industry. Students who completed 7-year program have gone on to master's courses or have found employment. As the ways of admission on recommendation have been arranged, more and more tend to proceed to master's courses at national universities. Meanwhile, students seeking jobs have been receiving more job offers than 5-year program students. Thus, there are a variety of academic and career options when students completed a 5-year or a 7-year program. After joining the college, students are free to decide which option to pursue.
