Course description
Chemical industries cover a broad range of medical, food, electronic, machine, environmental, and IT industries as well as the production and distribution of chemical products. On “Introduction to Chemical Industries”, lecturers, invited from the companies which recruited students from the department of Applied chemistry (SIT) recently and/or gave employment offers, will give a talk about the practical business and trend in chemical industries. We also learn rules on job hunting activities, how to deal with problems arising at job hunting, how to judge the qualities required for engineer and how to judge your aptitude.
Since the lecture's companies are changed according to the school year, following schedules show the record for last year.
Purpose of class
Students will learn the contents of actual work in a chemical industry company, company strategy, prospects for the future of chemical industry etc by the lecturers. By preparing a report including the research for company's business and by describing the reasons for application for the business as a simulation application document, students will increase the incentives to work and will determine their own job aptitude.
