Department of Environmental Systems 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 Program Improvement Committee devises specific policies for improving the education system. (Dept. Chair is the head of this committee)
Do
All professors in the department implement concrete plans on the improvements of the curriculum.
Check
About once a year, the Education System Evaluation Committee meets to evaluate and examine the education system from a more comprehensive perspective. (Seven external committee members are included)
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.

The education goals of the College of Science and Engineering are to equip students with:

• Provide training in the sciences to enable students to understand science and technology as well as history and culture as they relate to society.
• Foster academic abilities and information processing skills in the basic sciences of science and technology as well as information science.
• Facilitate acquisition of basic knowledge in a specialized field and the ability to independently solve problems.
• Foster the ability to understand the latest trends in science and technology and the communication skills to explain them.

The Department of Environmental Systems Engineering adds the following two education goals:

• Cultivate the ability to analyze environmental problems, improve and manage environments, and create new environments.
• Provide training in systems engineering methods in areas that overlap with environmental issues.
