In this program, various subjects concerned with electronic and information engineering are offered. It covers a wide area, from component devices to complex systems, that includes human beings and society. It aims to establish a new engineering science and to educate students to meet the needs of an Information Society. It is computers and telecommunications have realized recent advancements in this Information Society, and are still producing new technologies for societal benefits. Since computer applications in engineering are highly multi-disciplinary in nature, collaboration among researchers in these fields is essential. The doctoral program provides the courses to meet such requirements. Three fields: (1) Electrical and Electronic Engineering, (2) Systems and Information Engineering, and (3) Total Cultural Studies, are closely related to promote collaborative activities both on education and research.

In 2002, the Electronic & Information Engineering Doctoral Program was selected by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology as one of the COE (Center of Excellence) core research bases for the 21st century. After a very thorough examination, only 20 projects from 17 universities were selected among the large number of national and private graduate schools in the fields of electricity, electronics and information. Selection as a core research base is evaluated highly nationwide. Based on this COE project, we provide financial support to graduates who major in 'Electronic and Information Engineering' to help them devote themselves to academic research.
