Fujimaki Laboratory, Department of Quantum Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, Nagoya University

The history of the School of Engineering began in 1942 when the School of Science and Engineering was reorganized into the School of Engineering and the School of Science. Since then, we have continued to change and grow in response to the challenges of the times and the demands of society. Today the School of Engineering consists of 7 undergraduate departments and 18 graduate departments, with 766 staff members, 2,952 undergraduate students, and 1,794 graduate students (as of May 1, 2023), making us the largest School in Nagoya University. As Nagoya University's largest School, we maintain an influential presence.

“Engineering” is a field of study organized to contribute to society by using mathematics and scientific disciplines to solve a diverse range of problems. The major mission of the School of Engineering is to contribute to society through education, research and other social activities. Today, various problems are emerging in our society. They include global warming, environmental pollution, energy shortages, declining labor force, natural disasters, pandemics, and many others. Engineering must find the issues that need to be solved from these problems and provide a route, aiming for the well-being of society. In the Aichi and Tokai regions, with their strong industrial base, there is a multitude of social issues that engineering must tackle. Nagoya University is the core university in this region, and one of the premier universities in Japan. To cope with the challenges of society, we have focused on educating people, strengthening research capabilities, and contributing to society. We are continuing these efforts and undertaking a variety of initiatives to ensure that we can all continue to live prosperous and fulfilling lives in a rapidly changing society. Here are some of the key initiatives.
