Akita University has a long history on research and education for metal and petroleum mining industry, and graduated many mining technologists to the industrial world. On the basis of the characteristics of historical backgrounds, we develop the idea for establishment plan of new faculty “International Resource Sciences”. The faculty characterized by packaged education of social sciences, earth science, and geotechnology, is divided into three courses as Resource Policy, Earth Resource Science, and Resource Development and Environment courses. The education curriculum and mission of new faculty is organized based on the evidence of hearing investigation from mining industry. We introduce the new faculty program “International Resource Sciences” in this paper briefly.
