[Course of Information and Communication Engineering]
This course provides a broad range of well-balanced specialized ability, from fundamental theory
to application of signal processing technology, communication methods and systems, quantum
computing and computer engineering, etc, and also aims to foster communication skills,
teamwork and ethical consideration, and furthermore to nurture human resources with core
technology to maintain and upgrade information society.
[Course of Computer Systemics]
This course provides specialized ability in information engineering, such as algorithms, computer
architecture, software engineering and information networks, based on information science and
mathematical science, and also aims to foster communication skills, teamwork and ethical
considerations, and furthermore to nurture human resources with core technology to maintain
and upgrade information society.
[Course of Computational Intelligence]
This course provides specialized ability in fundamental information engineering and specialized
ability in various core computer systems, such as optic information processing, recognition and
learning, artificial intelligence, etc, and also aims to foster communication skills, teamwork and
ethical considerations, and furthermore to nurture human resources with core technology to
maintain and upgrade information society.
[Evening Course]
This course nurtures students with the fundamentals required for engineers such as
communication skills, team working skills and social ethics, and in addition to a foundation of
natural science, students are trained in specialized knowledge in information science, electrical
engineering and electronic engineering, as well as in the core technology needed to maintain and
upgrade the information society.

We foster engineers who have specialized ability in

information technology and electrical and electronic
engineering, and who can contribute to the
development of computers and their systems,
information and telecommunications networks, and
technology that utilizes electrical energy.
For this purpose, we have set up both day time and
evening courses, for a total of five courses.
There are four specialized day time courses which
fulfill the JABEE standards.
The one evening course will cover broader fields of
study with a fewer number of students.

Areas

Content of Research

College of
Environmental
Technology

This research area, while considering the changes in the natural environment by global warming and the changes in the social
environment due to the dwindling birthrate and an aging population, is concerned with how we can contribute to making a
comfortable global environment and living environment in which people feel safe and reassured.
In other words, this research area covers the planning, designing and construction of cities and living atmospheres. In
particular, examples of research include the research and development of the control and construction of living environments,
the construction, maintenance and disaster prevention of the infrastructure including buildings and underground facilities, and
the planning, designing and construction of cities and living areas where people can live comfortably and with peace of mind.

College of
Design and
Manufacturing
Technology

This is the research area which includes designing, manufacturing and operating devices and equipment, including various
mechatronics such as cars, railways, aerospace craft such as air carriers, robots and medical equipment.
Furthermore, this area covers elemental research and systems research that includes metals, electronics and hydraulic
controlling systems. It also expands to alternative energy and environmental technology to promote the departure from fossil
fuels and to ease the global warming, and the development of many kinds of products utilizing nano-technology.

College of
Information and
Systems

This research area consists of two main fields. One is the research area of scientific technology and production technology
focusing not only on conventional efficiency-prioritized technology or short-term solutions but also on the deeper core, based
on fundamental sciences such as mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology. The other field consists of the formation of
information systems that include signal processing, conversion, communication technology, computer engineering, and of
computer-assisted intelligence in order to draft an evolving information society. In this latter field, visual information
processing and recognition, and learning as a part of intelligence technology is included in the field of artificial intelligence.

College of
