DEPARTMENT OF

Electrical and Electronic Engineering

The key terms in the field of Electrical and Electronic

Engineering are clean energy, electronic control,

high-speed broadband communications, robotics,

semiconductors, new electronic materials and

devices, optoelectronics, acoustics, imaging, and

medical electronics, which explain the state-of-the-

art in this field. With these words in mind, we help

students become researchers and engineers with

creative intelligence and well-rounded characteris-

tics. Our society now requires engineers to have a

global sense with a broad perspective, satisfactory

academic skills, problem-solving abilities and crea-

tive skills to handle the unpredictable development

of events. We provide professional education and

research under the guidance of academic staff.

After one and a-half years study on basic subjects in

electrical and electronic engineering such as

electromagnetism, electric circuit theory, and

electronic circuit theory together with advanced

mathematics and applied physics, students will

choose one of the study courses to acquire

technological knowledge for their fruitful future.

Besides the classes in their own course, students

may take additional classes according to their

interest from almost all the classes offered by this

department.

Courses:

Information and Communication Course Electronic devices and Optics Course Energy and Control Course

DEPARTMENT OF

Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineering is the fundamental engineering to design, develop, and apply a mechanical instrument to support a healthy and safe daily life for human beings. It is a traditional engineering discipline, but it is always updated to cope with the new era. Mechanical engineers who open up new research fields have the steady ability to develop new mechanical systems are turned out into the world from this department. The teaching and learning processes are performed in cooperation with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, JAXA since 2005. Courses: Mechanical and Space Systems Engineering Mechanical and Intelligent Systems

DEPARTMENT OF

Materials Science and Chemical Engineering

Materials engineers manipulate the atomic and mole-

cular structure of substances to create products

ranging from computer chips and cellular phones to

golf clubs and surfboards. They work with metals,

ceramics, plastics, semiconductors, and combinations

of materials called composites to create new materials

that meet mechanical, electrical, and chemical require-

ments. Materials science and engineering is arguably

the most important engineering discipline today. The

materials scientist and engineer must understand the

wide range of phenomena that occur in all classes of

materials: metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, and

electronic materials. The undergraduate curriculum is

designed to provide balance by addressing the scientific

and engineering principles applicable to all classes of

materials as well as the particular engineering and

design concepts unique to each class of material.

Courses:

Materials Science

Chemical systems engineering

The course of chemical systems engineering aims to

educate students to equip themselves with the

knowledge and abilities for the chemical engineering

systems and processes, to be able to take an effective

role at international stage.

DEPARTMENT OF

Systems Engineering

Systems Engineering aims at making large-scale and complicated systems more accessible and less hazardous. In contrast to other disciplines in engineering, each of which deals with a specific technological field constituting only a part of the systems, Systems Engineering deals with the whole systems by comprehensive and synthetic approaches. System Engineering focuses on how to construct useful systems by organizing all technical components in the systems, in order to accomplish the purpose of the systems and to solve real-world problems. Courses:

Information systems course

Digital contents course

Education systems course

To cope with global issues such as population growth, resource consumption and ecological crisis, our present society requires interdisciplinary engineers who have system thinking capability. To nurture interdisciplinary engineers, our department employs group learning, participatory lectures, and practical trainings. These methodologies aim to teach

1. Knowledge and skills to design and manage systems based on understanding of interdisciplinary subjects 2. Cooperation and communication 3. Activeness, initiative, and planning ability

Finally, the students master the way of using computers as a tool to solve several kinds of real-world problems.
