(1) To understand the interaction between the observer and the

environment, we are conducting psychophysical research on the

self-motion information processing from the optical flow.

(2) We are mobile observers because we have a body. We can

recognize various objects and scenes from different viewpoints with

different retinal images. We are doing cognitive research using 3-D

objects, human bodies and scenes to estimate the representation and

the processes in the brain.

(3) What is reality? The input to the process of perception is just a 2-D

retinal image, but our perception has 3-D properties and scenes and

objects are seen there, not on the retina. We are exploring how reality is

created and what is reality.

Department of Environmental and Life Sciences

INTRODUCTION

We educate traditional subjects, biology, chemistry, and electronics, and also recent fashionable subjects,

ecology, nano-technology, molecular biology, and social sciences, to make students to act internationally.

This Department of Environmental and Life Sciences is made of two Courses, one for biology and material

science which handle the basic knowledge of the nature, and the other for ecology and social science which

handle the global knowledge of human activities.

Our Program is aimed to obtain both basic and applied knowledge through combination of education of basic

terms and technical training, and is aimed to cultivate engineers who can solve their technical problems in the

future.

Sustainable Development Course

In this course, students are cultivated of talents who can internationally actively work in the field of engineering

concerned with ecology and economy through the educations and technical trainings.

Life and Materials Science Course

Students are cultivated of talents who can internationally actively work in the field of biological sciences,

Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering

Introduction

The department of Architecture and Civil Engineering is committed to educate the students with professional skills

to design and manage buildings and infrastructure with their surroundings in cities and rural areas, to maintain

safe and high-quality living environments.

The undergraduate program prepares students to pursue both basic and professional knowledge and application

ability needed to engineers. The program offers a practical education based on architecture and civil engineering.

In the freshman and sophomore years, students in a small number class are expected to acquire not only basic

knowledge of liberal arts, architecture, and civil engineering but also professional skills through the subjects of

Introduction to Engineering, Practice of Architectural Design, and Project Study and so on. In the junior and senior

years, students will be required to take compulsory course either from Architecture and Building Science course

or Civil and Environmental Engineering course which are made up of specialized subjects, respectively.

The graduate program serves students an education that will enable an individual to set the research issues and

find their possible solutions in their research work.
