Curriculum

Practice School

Faculty members and students work together at a company for 6 weeks. Together, they collect a large volume of information from across the company and solve its most pressing problems by utilizing students’ knowledge and experience obtained during their studies at TAC-MI. A prerequisite is that students must acquire the necessary knowledge and skills. Practice School is the most remarkable subject of TAC-MI curriculum. The experience of making proposals to solve company’s latest critical issues within a fixed period strongly helps research for doctoral thesis.


Practice School in Materials Informatics I

Students will conduct the modeling or computer simulations to design of materials and material process and give the presentation regarding to the results.

This is to learn modeling, computer simulation and data processing that is required for design of functional material and material process in industrial field relating to In the design of functional materials that make full use of knowledge and technology related to materials and information, it is essential to utilize processing technology of information related to the structure and physical properties of chemical substances. The purpose of this course is to conduct exercises using modeling, simulation, and information processing, to optimize the operating conditions in chemical processes, and to learn how to design functional materials. This is also intended to cultivate the communication ability on development of research.

Practice School in Materials Informatics II

Students will stay for about 6 weeks in the company, participate in research and development of documents using data analysis, data processing and simulation with company employees, propose solutions, and give a final presentation.

This course addresses research issues related to materials and information in the design of functional materials and optimization of manufacturing processes in companies, and is essential for research and development by experiencing research actually performed in companies. This course aim to develop problem solving skills and communication skills.
