［Natural Science］

To dvelop the fundamentals
for Engineering estudies


The fundamental sciences supporting today's engineering include math, chemistry and biology. Taking these courses at TMIT is indispensable in order to take high-school learning to a higher level of science and technology. These courses are taught to gain "an attitude of seeing subjects objectively and appreciating the process of thinking" as a scientist/engineer. The courses include math, physics, chemistry and biology, which apply mathematical thinking to various fields of technology. The relationship between Natural Science and technology leads to a smooth transition from knowledge to application.
