Nagaoka University of Technology would like to take this opportunity to introduce our new graduate course, “SDG Professional Course”, which is offered to provide the opportunity of engineering education program for sustainable development based on the agreement with UNESCO. 
This graduate-level course incorporates engineering education built on a foundation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and is designed to produce practical engineers/researchers with high levels of expertise and educators of advanced engineering.

In 2015, the United Nations designated a set of 17 global SDGs (addressing issues such as poverty, healthcare, education, and others) to be achieved by 2030. 
In order to accomplish these goals, it is crucial to further develop and spread science and technology on a global scale.
