Hunukumbura Tharindu (2024 Graduate)
Currently at NiX JAPAN Co., Ltd.

I am currently working as a structural engineer, mainly focusing on bridges. My usual work includes drawing plans, conducting structural analysis, and creating 3D models. As you can imagine, structural mechanics and most of the other subjects you study will really come in handy when you start working. I was lucky enough to start working at the same company where I did my internship during my third year at ICP.
As a word of advice, I would highly recommend the internship program. It can open up new connections that might change your life. Of course, learning Japanese can be a hassle, but it is important if you want to be based in Japan. Other than that, please look into the qualifications you can achieve while studying at the university—something most students don't know about.

Hiroyoshi Kimura (2007 Graduate)

Until now we have been discharging large quantities of waste as a result of the mass consumption of resources to sustain our comfortable ways of living. As a result, we are now faced with serious global issues such as the shortage of resources and environmental destruction.
I wanted to devote all my energy to solving this problem, especially the problem with resources and energy, so I chose the Resources Engineering Course within the Global Engineering Department. I have focused my research on methane hydrate, of which there are large buried quantities and can be considered as an alternate source of energy, as well as the structure of CO₂ hydrate which is notable for its stabilizing effect on carbon dioxide. I am working on my research daily to achieve an energy supply system that is environmentally friendly.
Global Engineering covers a wide range of studies, so I am sure there is a field of interest for everyone.
