Message from the Dean

Head of the Faculty of Engineering of Electrical and Electronic Systems Engineering

Takashi Takuma

Learn about the current state of electrical and electronics, and become a pioneer who will open up the future

Electrical and electronic engineering has made remarkable progress, and the fields of expertise are diverse. In our department, students acquire the basic academic skills necessary for their fields in their early years, and in their upper years, they select and study the latest research fields, such as developing new technologies using plasma, converting electricity and using it efficiently, making systems including robots work as intended, researching new semiconductor materials and devices, and designing and manufacturing integrated circuits. In this way, by learning about the "present" of electrical and electronic engineering and acquiring knowledge that will pave the way for "tomorrow," we aim to produce talented people who will support the future.

FeatureFeatures

  1. ES class

    The ES class is a research-oriented educational program for the Department of Electrical and Electronic Systems Engineering. It is a special class with around 10 students per year, and aims to develop high-level researchers through one-on-one instruction from the first year, a unique training program, early laboratory assignment from the first semester of the third year, and advanced graduate school coursework in the fourth year.

    ES class is here

  2. Environmentally Friendly Engineering Education

    The Department of Electrical and Electronic Systems Engineering specializes in three areas within the broad field of electrical and electronic engineering: "Energy and Electrical Systems," "System Science," and "Electronic Devices and Communication Devices." In particular, it offers a rich range of engineering education (graduation research and related lectures) that takes the global environment into consideration.

    Spreading endlessly,
    Electrical and Electronic Engineer Field

  3. 電気主任技術者 Certification Course

    Our school has been certified by the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry for its qualification as a 電気主任技術者. This means that students who have acquired the required credits while studying at our school and have gained practical experience after graduation can obtain the qualification without taking an exam (if you graduate from an unlicensed school, you will need to take and pass the 電気主任技術者 exam to obtain the qualification).

  4. Enhancement of introductory education

    In order to improve the basic academic skills necessary to acquire specialized knowledge in electrical and electronic engineering, and to equip students with the skills required to be engineers, we offer "Introduction to Electrical and Electronic Systems" and "Electrical Mathematics" in the first year, and "Electrical and Electronic Systems PBL" in the third year, providing "small-group education" and "manufacturing education." In addition, for Electrical Circuits I and Electromagnetism I (required subjects) offered in the first semester of the first year, we will be holding retake classes in the second semester from 2017, providing thorough support to students so that they do not get confused at the entrance to the specialty.

A department with strong employment prospects (top class in terms of number of job openings at the university)

The Department of Electrical and Electronic Systems Engineering has produced over 14,000 graduates, who are active in a wide range of fields as engineers and researchers in the industrial world. Career guidance is provided by the department head and employment counselors, with full support from graduation research supervisors, to support students in finding employment and continuing on to further education.

A simple question: Why are there two departments with similar names?

A wide range of electrical and electronic engineering fields

Image of a tree representing the field of electrical and electronic engineering
Rather than one department covering the broad field of electrical and electronic engineering, the two departments each provide distinctive education and research in their own areas of expertise. By dividing the department into two, the number of students in each department is small, and the first-year introductory education and compulsory subjects are further divided, allowing for smaller class sizes.

The limitless field of electrical and electronic engineers

Robot image
A wide variety of robots are being put to practical use in society, including industrial robots, medical robots, and familiar examples such as cleaning robots and reception robots. Robots are intelligent mechanical systems that have three elemental technologies: "sensors" that govern senses such as vision and touch, "intelligence and control systems" that govern behavior, and "drive systems" that govern movement such as motors.
The technologies in the electrical and electronic systems field related to each elemental technology include, for example, sensing technology (quantification of information) that combines sensors and semiconductors, motor control and signal processing technology, autonomous learning technology using artificial intelligence (AI), communication technology that monitors the robot's status, and motion analysis technology that expresses position and posture. The electrical and electronic systems field contributes to the evolution and deepening of robotics technology development.

Smart Technology

Smartphone image
Smart technology refers to incorporating information processing technology into machines and equipment to make them smart (intelligent, high performance). IoT (Internet of Things), which adds communication capabilities to sensors and allows you to check the status of equipment and control it over the Internet, is one example of smart technology.
Taking smartphones as an example, the technologies in the electrical and electronic systems field include integrated circuit/LSI technology for the microprocessor that performs various calculations, LCD/OLED technology for displaying information, image sensor technology for the camera, and wireless LAN technology and 5G (fifth generation mobile communications system) technology for wireless communications. The electrical and electronic systems field supports the foundation of ICT (information and communication technology) social development.

Electric cars and linear motor cars

Car image
Although electric vehicles (EVs) have existed for longer than gasoline-powered vehicles, their short driving range and long charging times have been obstacles to their widespread use. In recent years, research and development in the electrical and electronic systems field has been supporting the spread of EVs, including secondary battery technology such as lithium-ion batteries, motor control technology that realizes small size, high output and low noise, and non-contact charging technology that allows charging even while driving. Meanwhile, linear motor cars (superconducting linear) achieve high speed travel of approximately 500 km per hour by levitating the car body with electromagnets using superconductors. Technologies from the electrical and electronic systems field are being used in superconductivity (a phenomenon in which electrical resistance becomes zero under certain conditions), traffic system control technology for safe high-speed driving, and non-contact power supply technology that wirelessly supplies power to interior lighting.

Power generation and environmental technology (energy)

In recent years, expectations for renewable energy sources such as solar power, wind power, and biomass have been rising. In addition to these renewable energy power generation technologies, the electrical and electronic systems field supports social infrastructure with large-scale power generation technologies such as nuclear and thermal power generation, and power conversion and transmission technologies (power electronics) for efficient transmission of electricity from power plants to homes and offices. On the other hand, the promotion of green innovation (technological innovation in the energy and environmental fields) is important to realize a low-carbon society, and the electrical and electronic systems field is working to put smart grids (power transmission infrastructure optimized with information and communication technology) into practical use. In addition, water treatment technologies and exhaust gas treatment technologies that utilize the high sterilization power of plasma will lead to the achievement of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).

Home appliances and medical systems

Television image
The convenience of household appliances such as televisions and washing machines has improved due to technological advances in the electrical and electronic systems field. Televisions have evolved from cathode ray tubes to flat panels (liquid crystal, organic electroluminescence, etc.), and lighting has evolved from incandescent and fluorescent lamps to LEDs (light-emitting diodes). Smart houses that optimize the power consumption of these household appliances and equipment using ICT (information and communication technology) are also becoming more common.
In the medical systems field, technologies from the electrical and electronic systems field are applied in a variety of areas, including nursing and medical robots, laser medical technologies such as laser scalpels, measurement and imaging technologies such as MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), and sterilization technologies using plasma.

Laboratory

In our department, we have set up five research categories for fourth-year graduation research. A research category is a group of multiple laboratories, and we promote understanding of related research fields through joint presentations and other events.

Energy Science Research Division

We are developing new technologies that utilize plasma to create new energy sources and decompose harmful substances.

Electrical Systems Research Division

We conduct research into technologies that "create", "transmit" and "convert" electricity. For example, we convert electricity generated by solar power generation and wind power generation so that it can be used at home. We also control linear motors and motors in electric vehicles.

Communication Device Research Division

We develop environmentally friendly, low-power LSI designs and silicon high-frequency integrated circuits.

Semiconductor Electronics Research Division

We develop flexible solar cells, transparent displays, power semiconductors, and more.

Department of Systems Science

We study the science of biological learning, optimize systems, and develop "soft" robots.
