Major in Management Science and Engineering

Management is the discipline to study human activities in society from the perspectives of companies and other organizations, and management science and engineering addresses this issue using engineering/mathematical/scientific methods. To develop human resources with international-level “mathematical ability × IT skills × practical competencies”, the following 3 areas are organized in the Major in Management Science and Engineering: [Management area], [Mathematical Engineering area], and [Information Technology area]. The Management area helps students learn how management is performed in actual settings, and methods to solve problems that occur in such settings through management science and engineering. The Mathematical Engineering area introduces a wide range of engineering and mathematical methods used in management science and engineering. Furthermore, the Information Technology area provides knowledge related to information technology, which is one of the important foundations for modern management activities. Thus, the Major in Management Science and Engineering extensively and comprehensively deals with various fields related to management, mathematical engineering that provides tools to approach these fields, and information technology that supports management. One of the features of this major is [Workshop on Finding Problems and Solutions], a compulsory subject that serves as a pre-stage of graduation thesis for third-year students.

Workshop on Finding Problems and Solutions In this workshop, students will determine their themes using the basic knowledge acquired in the Major in Management Science and Engineering, and experience a series of processes consisting of modeling, deriving solutions, and examining solutions, as well as holding discussions and practicing presentations. To help them develop insight into out-of-school activities, case study lectures given by invited people, who are active in society, and exchange presentation meetings with students from other universities are also scheduled. 3 – 4
