The former Department of Civil Engineering is continuously examining and improving its education system.
We repeatedly implement the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle to create a system that allows students to learn more effectively.

Plan
The Improvement Planning Committee devises specific policies for improving the education system. (Chairperson: Kazuyuki Izuno)
Do
All of the professors affiliated with the former Department of Civil Engineering implement specific improvements.
Check
An Education System Evaluation Committee evaluates progress on the improvements. It issues reports as needed, and identifies further areas for improvement. About once a year, the Expanded Education System Evaluation Committee, which includes some members from outside of the university, meets to evaluate and examine the education system from a more comprehensive perspective.
Action
Action is taken by a departmental conference comprised of all the professors affiliated with the department. This is the body with ultimate decision-making authority regarding education system improvements. (Department Chair: Hirosi Tsukaguchi, Educational Affairs Committee Member: Keiichi Ogawa)
