Overview

Kyoto University defines Integrated Engineering Course, Human Security Engineering Field as a system of technologies (techniques) for designing and managing cities that enable inhabitants to live under better public health conditions, and also live free from potential threats of large-scale disasters and environmental destruction, as listed in the Millennium Development Goals.

What you'll study

For establishing this discipline, four existing fields, i.e. city governance, city infrastructure management, health risk management, and disaster risk management, are integrated into one discipline.

Specifically, problem-solving education and research will be conducted on Asian megacities with emphasis on three key points: (1) active incorporation of strong local orientation and suitable local characteristics; (2) co-evolution of engineering technologies, urban administrative management, and system creation; and (3) inclusion of multilayered governance with various actors having different interests and values.

By contributing to solving problems in Asian cities, social effectiveness of the methodology will be verified as a “MODE 2” discipline1. Also, we will disseminate the information on this new discipline globally through publication of a textbook series in English language.
