物質工学科では、新素材の生産技術と研究開発能力を養う物質コースと、バイオ技術の工学への応用能力を養う生物コースの２コース制をとり、教育目標を次のように掲げる。

1. 生物・応用数学・一般物理・情報処理などの基礎科学を充実し、物質・生物系の基礎となる無機・有機・物理・分析化学などを体系的に修得させ、物質の本質を理解し、新素材を開発できる技術者としての基礎能力を育成する。
   
2. 創作実習・情報処理・工学実験・化学機器などの実験演習を早期から修得させ、実践力や創造性を培い、卒業研究では自学自習能力と問題解決能力を育成する。
   
3. 物質系では、無機・有機・高分子材料の合成、分析、測定、評価法などを修得させ、生物系では、化学を基礎に生物工学や培養、遺伝子工学の修得を通じて、化学、医薬品、食品工業界で活躍できる人間性豊かで創造性に富む技術者を育成する。

Our department provides two courses; material chemistry and biotechnology.　The material chemistry course is aimed to improve the ability to develop and research new materials. The biotechnology course is aimed to improve the ability to apply the biotechnology to engineering. Our objectives are as follows:

1. To create a solid foundation as engineers who can develop new materials through the study of basic subjects like applied mathematics, university physics and numerical analysis as well as the systematic study of organic and inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry and analytical chemistry.
   
2. To improve practical skills and creativity by introducing such subjects as Creative Development, Information Processing and Experiments in Chemical and Biological Engineering, and Experiments in Instrumental Analysis at the earlier stage of the course, and to develop the ability to continue on an independent basis through Graduation Research.
   
3. To cultivate engineers who can take an active part in the field of research and development, and production in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries through the study of organic and inorganic chemistry, the way to analyze, synthesize, measure and evaluate macromolecular materials, and the study of biological engineering, culture engineering and gene engineering.
