The University’s Graduate School of Engineering (Master’s Program), established in 1964, has a history of more than 40 years now. In 1999, the Graduate School of Engineering was reorganized into the Graduate School of Science and Engineering, and now nine research courses are provided under the Master’s Program. In 1993, the Doctoral Program was opened, which now comprises a total of five courses. Biochemical Engineering Students in the Master’s Program attend advanced lectures from their first year and engage in research on themes that are more specialized and advanced Bioengineering Management of Technology for Manufacturing (MOT), Tohoku MITRAI Course than the themes in their graduation theses. The students make the research plans themselves, conduct experiments and analyses, and present their results The research in this course will focus on functional materials that could to relevant academic societies, both within and outside Japan.
