College of Engineering

 

  The College of Engineering provides students with the ability to investigate the basic principles of scientific and technological development and new knowledge in the field. It also enables them to participate in creating new technology, which in turn encourages real development in the industry. The college includes three schools with 10 courses of study: School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering; School of Materials, Chemistry and Chemical Engineering; and School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Marine-System Engineering. Students can deepen their specialized knowledge by gaining a broad perspective on fields related to nature, the environment, society, history, humanity, and culture, and by cultivating problem-solving skills for complex real-life problems. The college fosters highly creative researchers and engineers who can contribute to the world of science and technology on a global scale. 

School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering 

Students gain comprehensive knowledge on electricity and electronics, information and communication, physics, and mathematical sciences, which are the core elements of the 21st century science. They learn about the structures of electrical and information systems; acquire skills to design, control, and operate the systems; and study the physics of device materials and mathematical sciences focusing on fundamental theories. We provide students with the ability to meet the demands of the highly information-oriented society.

School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Marine-System Engineering

Students systematically study three fields of advanced engineering: Aerospace Engineering, Marine-System Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. They acquire specialized knowledge necessary for research and development in a wide range of areas including aircraft, rockets, spaceplanes, artificial satellites, next generation ships, marine platforms, undersea robots, ocean resource utilization, environmental conservation, micro-machines, high-functioning robots, next-generation eco-friendly automobiles, and plant factories. 

School of Materials, Chemistry and Chemical Engineering

 

 Students acquire knowledge about atomic, molecular, and compound structures; chemical reactions; and the composition of micro-scale materials. They also gain specialized knowledge that will lead to the discovery of new substances from three different perspectives: atomic and molecular function, chemical processes and systems, and materials.

melboune university

 
The list of universities in Melbourne shows that all the Melbourne universities are within easy reach by public transport. There is also a well-established infrastructure to assist all students in their studies. For example, all over Melbourne there are free public libraries where a student can undertake some private study. Teaching and instruction usually involves the student having to do some research and analysis so the libraries can be perfect for this.

Melbourne is the capital of Victoria and is Australia's second largest city. Along with the many quality universities in Melbourne you will also find a city of style, fashion, food, architecture, theatres, galleries, trams and gardens. From the cafes and riverside South gate to the designer fashion stores of South Yarra, Melbourne is a city of style and sophistication. Marvel at its fantastic architecture, excellent hotels, outstanding galleries and theatres. Enjoy fine cuisine and superb local wine in award wining restaurants. The city is home to more than 3000 restaurants serving over 70 national cuisines.

 The 2016 edition of the QS Best Student Cities index sees Melbourne hold onto second place, thanks to its
good selection of universities, and strong scores in the “student mix”, “employer activity” and “desirability” categories.

Seven universities in Melbourne are featured in the QS World University Rankings® 2015/16, the highest-ranked of which is the University of Melbourne at 42^nd in the world – second only to Australian National University on the Australian leader board.
Known as Australia’s cultural capital, Melbourne regularly tops lists of the world’s most liveable cities, and is full of all the attractions that make the Australian lifestyle so appealing – including beautiful beaches, nightlife and a fair proportion of sunny days.

If you’re a genuine culture sponge, you’ll be pleased to know that Melbourne’s range of museums is world class, and the city’s cultural calendar is full all year round. If you’re into comedy or live music, Melbourne also has much to offer, from world-famous annual comedy festivals to grungy gig venues packed with students looking for a good time. To wind down, the city offers cool rooftop bars, chic cafés and tasty restaurants serving world cuisine.

Within the QS Best Student Cities index, Melbourne boasts the highest score in the “student mix” category, which is calculated based on the relative size and diversity of each city’s student population, as well as levels of social inclusion and tolerance. Melbourne also scores very highly for “employer activity” and “desirability”, categories which respectively look at the city’s institutions from the point of view of employers and the overall quality of living to be had in the city.

 
The only factor Australian cities tend to stumble on is affordability, due to relatively high tuition fees and high living costs, and this applies to Melbourne alongside its country-mates. But for high standards of living and incredible natural surroundings, Melbourne is a tough city to beat.

University in USA

                      







As the home of over 150 universities in the QS World University Rankings®, the US remains the world’s leading destination for international students. In 2013/14, the number of international students choosing to study in the US rose to a record high of 886,052 students, according to the Institute of International Education’s Open Doors report. The most popular states for international study in the US were California, New York and Texas, and the most popular subjects were business and management, engineering, mathematics and computer science.
Of course, it’s not just the high standard of US universities that draws students in. Whether you’re attracted to the bright lights and fast pace of the big city or to miles and miles of unspoiled wilderness; sun-kissed beaches or lush forests; the rustic and traditional or the sleek and modern, this huge and inThe sheer volume and variety of universities in the US means that you can be pretty confident of finding a suitable institution in your preferred surroundings. And if you don’t get it right the first time, moving between universities in the US is not uncommon.
Undergraduate degrees at US universities typically take four years to complete. The first part of the degree is usually spent studying a wide range of subjects – some required and some electives – after which students choose the subject or subjects on which they want to focus – known as “major(s)”.

credibly diverse country has something for everyone.

 You may also earn a “minor” qualification alongside your major by completing classes in an additional field. This is often used to supplement the major degree. For example, business majors often minor in economics, while liberal arts majors may minor in philosophy. Some students also choose minors simply to explore a field they’re interested in, without having to commit to a full study of the subject, and regardless of whether it pertains to the field in which they seek employment. 




Columbia University has traditionally been seen as the academic big shot of the two, a member of the prestigious Ivy League, a group of America’s most historically prestigious and selective institutions. However, far from living in its rival’s shadow, NYU has an identity and appeal all of its own.
Based in New York’s trendy downtown, and with tentacles spread throughout the city, NYU is a world-class university in its own right, and boasts one of the world’s most dynamic environments for arts, music and culture. Whereas Columbia offers the relative seclusion of an Ivy League campus experience, NYU places students in the heart of the city’s action. Centred in the heart of arty Greenwich Village, with no walls or gates, the university is, as it proudly states, “in and of the city”.
As you might expect from world-renowned institutions in such a desirable location, admission to either institution is extremely competitive. Few students will be lucky enough to receive an offer from one of the two, let alone both. But if you have good grades and are looking for the most exciting study experience the US has to offer, chances are at least one of these two top universities in New York City will be on your shortlist.



Columbia ranks 14= in the world overall in the QS World University Rankings 2014/15 (joint with Johns Hopkins University), having been a consistent presence near the top of the ranking over the past decade. Its high position reflects its solid reputation among employers and academics worldwide; in QS’s major global surveys, it comes out 12^th according to academics and 16^th in the eyes of graduate employers. These results indicate that academics across a broad range of disciplines have identified it among the world’s top universities in their field of expertise, while employers worldwide regard it as producing some of the world’s most employable graduates.
Despite trailing a little behind, NYU has nonetheless forged a strong reputation as a world-class institution, ranking 41= overall (alongside the University of Wisconsin Madison), and rated 35^th in the world by academics and 46^th by employers.
Both universities have favorable (and almost identical), student/faculty ratios for institutions of their size, ranking just outside the global top 50 on this measure. Columbia has a slightly higher proportion of international students, while both institutions see their weakest scores in the indicator assessing international diversity of faculty members.
The biggest gap between the two is in the indicator assessing research citations per faculty member – a reflection of impact in the research world. Here, true to its reputation as a global research powerhouse, Columbia claims a substantial lead; it ranks 35^th in the world to NYU’s 277^th, making it perhaps a clearer choice for those interested in research-based programs.

Best Cities For Young Professionals 2016

                                

Recent college graduates face better job prospects these days than they did in the midst of the Great Recession–but they also are typically saddled by debt. Seven out of 10 graduating college seniors had student loans in 2014 (latest data available), with average debt loads of $28,950, according to the nonprofit Institute for College Access & Success.

That’s why new grads–as well as young professionals only a few years out of school–would be wise to consider carefully where to start their careers. To find out which cities offer the best overall prospects for college-educated workers with five years of experience or less, we crunched data on job growth, unemployment rates, pay and cost of living in America’s largest 100 metro areas. The result is our 2016 list of The 20 Best Cities For Young Professionals.

 The cities that made our list generally fall into two categories. The first is job-heavy economic powerhouses where the pay is high and the cost of living is too. Metro areas that fall into the first category are familiar names: San Francisco (No. 1) and Silicon Valley (No. 2) shoot to the top of our list thanks to their red-hot technology and biotech job markets and high salaries.

  The second category of cities leading our list are underrated mid-tier markets, where the pay is still decent but, unlike the overpriced Bay Area, the cost of living is a relative bargain. Think Columbus, Ohio (No. 7); Warren, Mich. (No. 9); and Indianapolis, Ind. (No. 10). Each of these underrated cities boasts strong projected annual job growth over a three-year period (Columbus 2.5%, Warren 2.48%, and Indianapolis 2.67%). The median salary for early career professionals in these places isn’t as high as in Silicon Valley (No. 1 at $78,400), but those dollars will stretch a lot farther in these markets than in Silicon Valley, where the cost of living is the very worst of the 100 cities we looked at (nearly 60% above the national average). Median pay for workers with five years or less of experience in Columbus is $49,800 (46th among the metros), cost of living is 5% below the national average.  Warren’s median pay is $52,100 (27^th) and its cost of living 8% below the national average. Indianapolis has a median pay for early careerists of $48,200 (60^th), and a cost of living 7.5% lower than the national average.

 When it comes to starting a career, everything is a trade-off. Workers need to consider which places make the most sense for their particular industries and career paths. But they also should look realistically at what pay v. cost-of-living trade-off they’re willing to make. For some, Silicon Valley’s high cost of living might be worth the opportunity to gain experience at Google, Apple, or LinkedIn. Then again, would-be entrepreneurs might find that Columbus, with its lower-key emerging tech scene, reasonable cost of living, and reduced competition for VC funding, is a less stressful fit. And if it’s simply quality of life and a corporate job you’re after, perhaps it makes sense to choose Omaha, Neb, which has the Fab Five, a group of Fortune 500 companies that includes Berkshire Hathaway, Union Pacific Corp., ConAgra Foods, Kiewit Corporation and Mutual of Omaha. We hope our 2016 list of Best Cities For Young Professionals will help you make the right call.

 To find the 20 Best Cities For Young Professionals, we analyzed the 100 largest Metropolitan Statistical Areas (cities and their surrounding suburbs) as defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, ranking them on five factors weighted equally. We considered local unemployment rates (projected 2016 annual) and job growth projections (using 2015 nu bers and 2016 and 2017 projections), provided by Moody’s and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Next we considered median salaries for college graduates with five years or less of work experience, using data provided by Payscale.com. We rated how far these salaries might go with the help of Moody’s cost-of-living index. Finally, we looked at Census data on the percentage of the local population aged 25 and older with bachelor’s degrees or higher—a data point that could indicate the likelihood of a strong professional network for college-educated workers, as well as an educated workforce that is going to continue to draw opportunity to that area.

 Not surprisingly, San Francisco and the suburbs to its south top our list at No. 1.  An increasing number of tech companies–Salesforce, Uber, AirBnB, and Zenefits among them–have set up shop in the city, where many of their workers prefer to live instead of in more suburban Silicon Valley. The views are amazing and the pay is, too, but residents of that city (51% have college degrees) will pay through the nose for those perks. “I think that everybody knows that San Francisco is an expensive place to live, but it also has high wages and a strong job market to help new workers support a lifestyle here,” says Juliana Bunim, VP of strategic communications at the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. “Besides the economic and professional implications for people, it’s an extremely beautiful place to live.”

Kyoto university of Japan

 

Kyoto, once the capital of Japan, is a refined city on the island of Honshu with thousands of classical Buddhist temples, as well as gardens, imperial palaces, Shinto shrines and traditional wooden houses. It’s also known for formal traditions such as kaiseki dining, consisting of multiple courses of precise dishes, and geisha, female entertainers often found in the Gion district.

\ This combined metropolitan area of three cities, Kyoto-Osaka-Kobe (also known as Keihanshin) is home to over 19 million people and contains seven universities ranked in the QS World University Rankings ® 2015/16. The combined GDP of the area is so strong that if it was a country, it would be within the top 20 of the world’s economies.

The former capital of Imperial Japan, Kyoto is one of the country’s leading destinations for both tourists and international students, second only to capital Tokyo. Kyoto University is currently the highest ranked institution in Japan, at 38^th in the QS World University Rankings ® 2015/16.
For those who want to study in Japan but feel overwhelmed by the size and pace of Tokyo, Kyoto offers city life on a smaller scale, with plenty of opportunities to explore both traditional and modern Japanese culture – from beautiful Buddhist temples, to all-night karaoke bars and an eclectic selection of pubs and clubs.

Around 40km from Kyoto, Osaka has a long history of being an international gateway for trade, politics and knowledge. Today, it remains a key economic and cultural hub, with a large and diverse population and an economy bigger than some entire countries. It offers a good selection of art exhibitions, live music and drama, as well as being known for its excellent and varied cuisine. Universities in Osaka also hold their own, with Osaka University placing 58^th in the QS World University Rankings.

The sixth largest city in Japan, Kobe is the capital of the Hyōgo Prefecture, and is home to Kobe University, which ranks joint 361^st in the world. Around 1.5 million people live in Kobe, which is located about 30km west of Osaka, in a picturesque location wedged between the sea and the Rokko mountain range. It is another vibrant cosmopolitan city and strong economic hub, with international companies such as Nestlé and Procter & Gamble having bases here.
