The 21st century is a time of intellectual creation when technology friendly to people and the Earth, including electronic information communication, energy, and biotechnology (from brain information to medical engineering and welfare), will be generated with high morality. The Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering aims to foster engineers who are capable of creating advanced pivotal technology. The education plan is focused on basics in order to deepen understanding and take in state-of-the art technology to broaden their horizons. The department follows the principle of an integrated education throughout the undergraduate and master's programs. The doctoral program (Electronic & Information Engineering) is designed to foster leading researchers and engineers.
The Department of Electric and Electronic Engineering is designed to provide science and technology for both electronic engineering covering electrical, optical, and magnetic properties, semiconductor devices, integrated circuits, etc.; and electric engineering covering electric materials, power generation and control, electrical application, etc. The department includes the following three fields; (1) Fundamental Research, (2) Electronic Devices, and (3) Electric System Engineering and Clean Power Conversion Engineering.
In the undergraduate program, students first study basic subjects in those three fields, such as fundamental physics, energy, circuits, and computer system, and then choose the subjects to major in according to each field to study. In the year of graduation, students learn and acquire problem solving ability through their own research themes guided by an instructor's individual instructions
Due to the latest electrical and electronic engineering technology advances, engineers at the utmost front line are required to exhibit profound technical knowledge and equivalent capability of research and development. For that purpose, education and research based in the latest research and technology are carried out in the Electric and Electronic Engineering programs (Master's Programs).
The Department of Electronic & Information Engineering (Doctoral programs) was selected as one of the 15 core research bases (COE: Center of Excellence) among research organizations in the fields of electric, electronic and information at universities nationwide in the year 2002 by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. During the next five years, it will be further fortified as a unique research organization with their support. "The Venture Business Laboratory (VBL)" was also established in 2002 which will help enrich the academic and research environment for the graduates even more.
