To realize a large plan, we need to coordinate and team up with people of different personalities, skills and fields. To produce a good result, there are many factors to take into account such as how to reach a consensus despite different opinions and the effective use of money and time. The Project Manager coordinates all of these and leads the group to make the plan a success. To achieve goals, a plan is needed. To execute a plan successfully, know-how and knowledge in a broad range of fields are needed.
This department teaches all-round skills as a practical discipline. Workplaces that need such skills include product and software R&D and corporate and administrative management. Project management can help create unprecedented new things.

This department aims to nurture human resources who can become international project leaders with management capabilities and a background in the basics of engineering.

This curriculum, which emphasizes language abilities and the ability to use information technologies, consists of two courses of study: the Management Systems Engineering Course and the Project Management Course.
The Management Systems Engineering Course aims for the acquisition of scientific methodologies to address management systems and cross-disciplinary management technologies. The Project Management Course aims to nurture human resources with basic knowledge and practical capability mainly in the project management field to prepare students to become project managers. Furthermore, we are providing an increasing number of opportunities for students to attend lectures by specialists from industries and foreign lecturers. Learning actual and specific cases of management helps students to acquire more practical knowledge.

In the class, seven to eight students participate in a group experiment assembling and disassembling a robot. They classify and sort individual parts according to their characteristics and manage the parts by labeling them. Through such a process, we intend to nurture students’positive attitude and planning and management capabilities for the effective management of projects, thereby nurturing human resources who can be useful immediately.

In this training, a group of five or so students addresses one project. With an instructor pretending to be a user, this project simulates corporate software development. Students experiment with a survey of user demand, the compilation of specifications, programming, making a report and evaluating the project. Such future-oriented classes are highly evaluated by companies. An increasing number of our graduates have won excellence awards in the employee training programs at the companies they joined.
