●Data Science●Information Systems DesignThe Department of Chemistry includes three educational courses specialized in basic chemistry (aiming to undertake broad studies in chemistry) and functional materials chem-istry (aiming to specialize in engineering and applied chemistry). Both courses contain lectures from a wide range of chemistry for their respective educational purpos-es. In their final year, students execute their own research study under the guidance of professors. In the end, stu-dents efficiently gain the skills and knowledge required to complete their educational course and graduate.●Basic Chemistry●Functional Materials ChemistryThe department offers research and education based on geology and some aspects of engineering geology. The main aims are: (1) to encourage systematic understanding of earth materials and resources; (2) to understand the mu-tual relationships among humanity, society, and the earth from geological viewpoints; and (3) to establish effective methodology to reduce natural disasters based on a wide knowledge of geological processes and environmental changes.Our education programs are aimed to train specialists in earth sciences and related fields. Field work and practical skills are essential in our undergraduate courses.Information and computer science and engineering has been indispensable to a wide range of human activities in society. The next stage of the society is said to be a data driven society, where data science is its foundation. The department aims to provide our students with the knowledge and skills of data science and computer sci-ence. The education program consists of two majors: information systems design, and data science. Information systems design includes basics in computer science and engineering along with practical applications. Data science includes statistics and machine learning.Our department focuses on teaching and conducting re-search in three fields (1) architectural planning, (2) building structure and (3) architectural environment. Students are nurtured to comprehensive knowledge within two years be-fore orienting themselves to one of these courses: (A) Building Structure/Environmental Engineering or (B) Archi-tectural Planning and Design. From 3rd year, students have opportunities to choose their major and explore the poten-tial of each field before dedicating their graduation research at the beginning of their 4th year.●Geoscience●Geoenvironmental Science●Geo-disaster Science●Building Structure/Environmental Engineering●Architectural Planning and Design24http://www.chem.shimane-u.ac.jp/https://www.math.shimane-u.ac.jp/eng/http://www.ecs.shimane-u.ac.jp/index_e.htmlhttps://www.geo.shimane-u.ac.jp/e/https://www.cis.shimane-u.ac.jp/ http://kenchiku-seisan.jp/Department of ChemistryDepartment of Mathematical SciencesAdvanced mathematics provides sophisticated tools and a rigorous framework to analyze and describe various real- life phenomena, and seeks the beauty in numbers. Our department offers two majors: in pure mathematics and in applied mathematics. In the first year, students learn vari-ous foundational courses. From the second year, they learn advanced courses, including algebra, geometry, topology, real analysis, complex analysis, statistics, and mathemati-cal modeling. By studying advanced mathematics, students develop a variety of skills, such as logical reasoning, cre-ative thinking, problem solving, knowledge of data analysis, statistics, and outstanding presentation skills.Department of Mechanical, Electrical and Electronic EngineeringThe department offers education and research related to the areas of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and electronic engineering. Students study a wide range of basic theories related to the areas of this department during their first three years. During their final year, they research a specific topic under the individual supervision of a faculty member. The department aims to nurture graduates who have prepared for professional engineering in either me-chanical engineering or electrical and electronic engineering with fundamental knowledge in both of the fields.Department of Earth ScienceDepartment of Information Systems Design and Data ScienceDepartment of Architectural Design
