Master's Program Subject Guide

Important Information

1. Infrastructure Engineering A and B and a master's thesis are required.

2. A total of at least four credits must be obtained from Infrastructure Engineering ORT / Internship A (ORT denotes On-the-Research-Training), Resources Development Systems, Seminar on Structural Engineering, Seminar on Hydraulic Engineering, or Seminar on Geotechnics.

3. Students may include subjects of other departments or graduate schools among the subjects in the above table at their discretion under the guidance of their academic advisors.

4. Of the 30 credits required for completion, a total of at least 20 credits must be obtained from subjects in the above list.

5. Please review detailed subject content (syllabus) by accessing the Graduate School of Engineering website

Advanced Engineering Course Subject Guide

Important Information

1. Please review detailed subject content (syllabus) by accessing the Graduate School of Engineering website
   (URL: http://www.t.kyoto-u.ac.jp/syllabus-gs).
2. Courses numbered 100-199 are compulsory elective. Students advancing to the three-year course following completion of the Master's Program cannot register for 106 or 107.
3. Courses numbered 200-299 are seminars, ORT, or internships. However, 201 can be made a core subject. Students can obtain approved credits for practical training in infrastructure engineering, such as practical training in water area disaster mitigation or experimental structural engineering, by completing the prescribed form and obtaining approval of the content of the practical training.
4. Courses numbered 300-399 are Doctoral Program subjects.
5. Courses numbered 400-499 are major subjects.
6. Courses numbered 500-599 are minor subjects.
7. Courses numbered 600-699 are Graduate School of Engineering common subjects or subjects of other departments.
8. Academic advisors can designate major subjects or subjects of other departments as minor applied subjects or advanced subjects. Subjects not assigned to a subject category are classified as minor subjects.
9. As a general rule, Infrastructure Engineering ORT / Internship A and B are short-term (three weeks) or long-term (three-months) courses. A total of six credits for two subjects can be accredited for an ORT of six months or longer.
10. At the time of enrollment, students submit course plans (core subjects, major subjects, minor subjects, etc.) and obtain the approval of their academic advisor committee. Although it is possible to change the course plan even during the course of an academic year, the approval of the academic advisor committee must be obtained.

Integrated Engineering Course Subject Guide

Important Information

1. Please review detailed subject content (syllabus) by accessing the Graduate School of Engineering website
   (URL: http://www.t.kyoto-u.ac.jp/syllabus-gs).
2. Courses numbered 100-199 are required subjects. However, 102 and 103 are seminars for the master's students. Therefore, 102 and 103 cannot be taken by students in the three-year course following completion of the Master's Program.
3. Courses numbered 200-299 are major subjects that can be approved as core subjects. However, only two courses from courses 201-204 (courses provided in four civil engineering fields) can be approved as core subjects.
   Note: Students from other universities entering the three-year course take the designated core subjects.
4. Courses numbered 300-399 are Doctoral Program subjects.
5. Courses numbered 400-499 are major subjects.
6. Courses numbered 500-599 are Graduate School of Engineering common courses or courses of other departments.
7. Academic advisors can designate major subjects or subjects of other departments as minor applied subjects or advanced subjects. Subjects not assigned to a subject category are classified as minor subjects.
8. As a general rule, Infrastructure Engineering ORT / Internship A and B are short-term (three weeks) and long-term (three-months) courses. A total of six credits for two subjects can be accredited for an ORT of six months or longer.
9. At the time of enrollment, a student submits a course plan (core subjects, major subjects, minor subjects, etc.) and obtains the approval of the academic advisor committee. Although it is possible to change the course plan even during the course of an academic year, approval of the academic advisor committee must be obtained.

Explanation of Subject Details

• Computational Mechanics and Simulation
  Mathematical procedures and computational methods, such as Finite Element Methods (FEM) and Finite Difference Methods (FDM), are discussed for the general problems in the computational mechanics. Computer programs are actually created in the classes for initial and boundary-value problems to understand their applicability.  Parallel computation techniques are also introduced to perform the efficient simulations.  In addition, some applications of the computational methods are presented in the fluid and structure engineerings and atomistic physics.
• Seminar on Infrastructure Engineering A I (Advanced Engineering Course)
  Lectures on current status and future prospects on topics concerning structural engineering will be given.  Students will be required to make presentation in English on their research progress.  Through the presentation and discussion, advanced research ability shall be enhanced.
• Seminar on Infrastructure Engineering A II (Advanced Engineering Course)
  Lectures on current status and future prospects on topics concerning structural engineering will be given.  Students will be required to make presentation in English on their research progress.  Through the presentation and discussion, advanced research ability shall be enhanced.
• Structural Stability
  The course aims to develop an understanding of basic notation of elastic stability through studying buckling behavior of columns, beams, plates, shells, frames, arches and other structural systems for the design of bridges and offshore structures. The topics covered in this course also include parametric instability and dynamic stability under nonconservative forces such as divergence and flutter phenomena.
• Computational Geotechnics
  The course provides students with the numerical modeling of clay, sand and soft rocks. The course will cover reviews of the constitutive models of geomaterials. And the development of fully coupled finite element formulation for solid-fluid two phase materials. Students are required to develop a finite element code for solving boundary value problems. At the end of the term, project will be presented.
