Curriculum
① Lectures and Exercises on Materials Science and Infomation Science
The lectures and exercises are designed to enable students who specialize in materials science to understand information science (i.e., big data analysis and simulation techniques), including various mathematical theories and their backgrounds, in order to extract hidden values from data accumulated in industry. Meanwhile, students who specialize in information science will learn the basic physical properties and functions of materials, and conduct physical properties simulations and device and process modeling. The lectures and exercises are closely aligned, and we provide classroom lectures and exercises with sufficient time for students to effectively deepen their understanding.

② Practice School Courses
Practice School Courses, specializing in the combination of materials science and information science, are planned as a world first. Faculty members and students work together at a company for a month and a half. Together, they collect a large volume of information from across the company and solve its most pressing problems by utilizing the knowledge and experience students have obtained during their studies in TAC-MI. Students must acquire necessary knowledge and skills before taking this course.
