This department differs from the other departments at TUT in that its courses are taken by all students. Since engineers require broad backgrounds in order to meet the challenges of today's complex society, courses in Humanities and Social Engineering are regarded by TUT as important as any other courses at the University. A variety of courses offered by the Humanities Division are grouped into three major areas. The first group includes law, history, psychology, and economics. The second group includes linguistics, literature, and modern languages including English, German, French, and Japanese (for international students). The third group consists of physical education and physical fitness. The Social Engineering Division provides an interdisciplinary program leading to a Master's degree in planning and management science. Students desiring to pursue this program must submit a plan of study which has an approval from their graduate advisor. Courses and instruction are divided in three broad areas: economic analysis, management science, and regional science.
