[Education Program System]
The curriculum for the Department of Architecture was widely revised for the profound and systematic education and research activities in the field of wind engineering in 2008. In 2009, the new educational curriculum was opened, and the former name of The Department of Architecture will be changed to Architecture and Wind Engineering Course in 2010.
The School of Architecture is divided into four disciplines: (1) Architectural Structure Engineering, (2) Construction Methods & Architectural History, (3) Architectural Planning & Design, and (4) Architectural Environmental Engineering. Figure 1 shows the educational program of " structural and environmental engineering fields" that compose our wind engineering course.
The wind engineering course is divided roughly into the structural field (left side of Figure 1) and the environmental field (right side of Figure 1).
The first half of the first year of the Master course (M1) is a period for acquiring the basics required for extensive study of wind engineering, such as mathematics, fluid dynamics, and meteorology. In the latter half of M1, students are required to take compulsory courses, such as structural analysis and building vibrations from the structural field, and heat transfer, ventilation and moisture from the environmental field, regardless of their future career options.
From the second year of the Master course (M2), the structural field and the environmental field are more clearly divided, and students are required to acquire specialized learning and experiment techniques applicable to each field and to perform research in preparation for their Master's dissertation.
In addition, an Engineering Virtual Organization that consists of Tokyo Polytechnic University, the University of Notre Dame (U.S.A.), and Wind Engineering Research Institutes in various countries will provide knowledge databases and lectures through the Web, and support self-study.
Through the Master course, a special lecture on wind engineering will be implemented and domestic and overseas researchers and practitioners who are active in the wind engineering field will deliver lectures on advanced or topical themes. Students will gain enhanced international awareness through research exchange with overseas researchers.

[Course completion term]
The students should select one field among the four major fields and perform specified research (Master's Thesis) under a supervisor. Four units (two lectures) belonging to the research field, four units for advanced seminar on architectural and wind engineering, four units for advanced laboratory on architecture and wind engineering, and ten units for thesis for Master's degree in architecture and wind engineering, giving a total of 22 units credited. And 30 units including required lectures and voluntary lectures should be credited before completion of Master's course.
Course completion term is the minimum level for Master's course, and wind engineering course set the following recommended model for lectures, which can cover from the fundamental to advanced lectures.
