What’s New Department of System Design Latest News
Message from the Dean
FeatureFeatures
The Department of System Design is a department where students acquire the knowledge, skills, and creativity needed to solve real problems in the world with new products and services.
"What do we make?" is a question we consider using design thinking. "How do we make it?" The answer comes from combining the hardware knowledge learned in electrical and electronic engineering and mechanical engineering classes with the software knowledge learned in the field of information engineering. We "understand" hardware and software, and "can" create new things using IoT, AI, and VR.
The Department of Department of System Design aims to nurture engineers who can demonstrate their capabilities in this super-smart society.
-
Learn broadly
Students will learn about materials mechanics, mechanical engineering, and electrical circuits necessary for hardware development, as well as information science, such as algorithms and programming, necessary for software development, and develop the ability to develop products and systems from scratch. They will also learn manufacturing techniques through exercises and experiments.

-
Learn Design Thinking
Design thinking is a way of thinking that develops the way of thinking and ideas that designers use when designing, and creates solutions by repeating the steps of "empathy," "problem definition," "idea generation," "prototyping," and "testing" in order to solve social issues that could not be solved by conventional methods. By learning this, you will acquire the skills to create new products and services that are human-centered, rather than technology- or market-centered.

-
Learning outside the box
In interdisciplinary classes centered on work with the "Department of Robotics" and "Department of Design and Architecture, students will gain insights from each department's specialized knowledge and ideas, and learn how to collaborate to create innovative ideas and technologies. Students will also learn to interact with local residents and people working at companies, and engage in solving social issues while experiencing them firsthand.

Three educational policies of the Department of System Design
FacilityFacility Introduction
-
An urban tower campus standing tall in Umeda, Osaka.
With cutting-edge facilities and an environment, we will foster collaboration between industry, government and the public sector,
We will develop a new generation of talent with robotics technology and the design skills to connect that technology to attractive products and systems.
Q&AFrequently asked questions
-
What do you study in the Department of Department of System Design?
In the Department of Department of System Design, you will learn how to design a happy relationship (= system) between humans and artifacts. Artifacts are anything that humans interact with, such as IoT devices, robots, welfare equipment, and services. You will learn how to design systems while studying a wide range of subjects, including information science, mechanical engineering, electronics engineering, machine learning (the foundation of artificial intelligence), ergonomics, and design thinking. -
Can I learn design?
In the Department of Department of System Design, we learn how to design the relationship between people and artifacts, rather than designing the appearance of things, such as product design. Artifacts are anything that people interact with, such as IoT devices, robots, welfare equipment, and services. -
Could you tell me about the entrance examination system?
Please see the entrance examination information here . -
Is it difficult if I'm not good at math or physics?
In engineering, knowledge of mathematics and physics is essential, so you need to acquire a minimum level of knowledge. Even if you are not good at these subjects, there is a support system in place, such as special courses, so don't worry. -
There is no Math III class in my high school. Is that okay?
Although there are some students who enroll without taking Mathematics III, in order to keep up with university classes, it is advisable to study Mathematics III to a certain extent before enrolling. We also offer special courses for first-year students who have not taken Mathematics III, so please feel free to take advantage of them. -
I'm interested in research and development. Is it possible to pursue that career?
If you want to be involved in corporate research and development, going to graduate school will increase your chances of pursuing your desired career path, so please consider going to graduate school. -
Can I participate in the MonoLab projects (Robot Project, Human-Powered Airplane Project, Solar Car Project, Student Formula Project) or club activities at the Omiya Campus?
Yes, but since the activities will be at the Omiya campus, you will need to travel to the Omiya campus after classes at the Umeda campus. There are limited shuttle buses available. -
Are there any club activities that are only available at the Umeda Campus?
There are clubs such as the RD Club, which works with companies to tackle issues, and the Club that plans and holds events around the Umeda Campus. -
Will you be at Umeda campus for four years?
On Mondays during the first year, students have classes such as physical education and machine work at the Omiya campus, but they generally attend the Umeda campus for all four years.
