Industrial Innovation Engineering

Course introduction

[Education policy in Innovation and Management]

The program provides research guidance that leads to policy proposals by objectifying (quantifying) corporate management and social issues. Students will learn the basics of statistics and develop the ability to conduct social analysis using various statistical software upon completing the Master’s course. Since social economy and management derive from human behavior, the research will focus on one of the following areas: “industrial engineering” which improves corporate productivity, “educational technology” which establishes evaluation methods and measure the effects of education, “experimental economics” which elucidates social phenomena using empirical methods, and “behavioral science” which scientifically studies human consumption behavior and the laws of human behavior. As society becomes increasingly globalized, it is necessary to have a perspective that is not limited to the domestic market. For this reason, we encourage students in this course to study abroad for a short or medium to long term.

Students who want to be assigned to a laboratory should apply to the department/course faculty at the time of laboratory assignment in the fourth year of the School of Engineering. Some departments offer an early assignment in the third year. The selection method and the number of students assigned to each department/course will be determined by each department/course.

2. Master’s program of a graduate school
Applicants for the Internal Recommendation Selection must be enrolled in the fourth year of a laboratory in this course and meet the recommended standards for each department. For the General Selection, Selection with Recommendation from Other Universities, Selection for International Students, and Selection for Working Adults, entrance examinations are conducted by the University of Fukui Graduate School of Engineering Master’s Course Entrance Examination Guidelines. Any undergraduate or graduate degree from a university or other institution is acceptable.

3.Doctoral program of a graduate school
Applicants should apply to the Department of Integrated Frontier Sciences after contacting the faculty member they want to supervise in advance. Entrance examinations are conducted by the University of Fukui Graduate School of Engineering Entrance Examination Guidelines. Applications may be submitted regardless of the graduate school or major.

[Career paths of graduates]
Graduates can work as management consultants, data scientists, generalists in manufacturing, self-employed (taking over the president’s job), and more.
