Information Technology, Electrical Engineering, and Mathematical and Data Sciences Program<\/h3>\r\n

Emerging technologies related to Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, and the Internet of Things (IoT) are transforming numerous industries and daily life around the globe. These technologies enable us to collect a huge amount of information from a vast number of sensors via the Internet and to analyze it using methodologies in AI and data sciences. This has led to the development of innovative information and communication technology (ICT) services and the realization of safe, secure, and sustainable societies. This program provides students with basic to advanced knowledge on information and intelligence engineering, communication network engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, and mathematical and data sciences, which form the basis of AI, Big Data, and IoT, in a systematic and practical manner.<\/p>\r\n

Education and Research Fields<\/h3>\r\n

Information Technology: Today, our lives and businesses cannot exist without information systems. This track provides students with basic knowledge on the application of information technology that serves as the social infrastructure supporting our lives, as well as covers rapidly evolving AI technologies. It also educates students to be engineers and researchers who play an active part on the front lines of our highly information-oriented societies. The track pursues research including computer engineering and intelligent software.<\/p>\r\n

Network Engineering: In the coming IoT era, new ICT services such as autonomous driving, FinTech, and MaaS (mobility as a service) will be achieved by connecting various devices to the Internet and merging our cyber and physical worlds. This track provides students with basic to advanced knowledge of technologies such as communication network engineering and information security engineering, which are the foundation of IoT, and educates them to be engineers and researchers who are familiar with information and communication technology. The track pursues research that includes wireless communications, computer networks, information security, and electromagnetic compatibility.<\/p>\r\n

Energy and Electronics: Technologies related to energy and electronics are specialized technologies that support our day-to-day lives. In order to create a sustainable society, it is essential that we use energy efficiently. This track provides students with basic knowledge on the application of electrical and electronic engineering technologies, such as electric circuits, electromagnetics, superconductivity, and power electronics, and educates them to be top-class engineers and researchers with a truly broad perspective. The track covers such research areas as energy, electronics, and materials.<\/p>\r\n

Mathematical and Data Sciences: To improve quality of life and maintain a sustainable society, analyses of natural and social phenomena are necessary to evaluate the effects of human activities and predict potential results under varying conditions. To do this, mathematical and statistical insights and methodologies, together with advanced computing techniques, play essential roles. This course provides students with fundamental knowledge and skills in the mathematical and data sciences, and educates them to be engineers and scientists who have acquired the ability to conduct evidence-based discussions and to make objective decisions. The course encourages students to explore phenomena that have been proactively elucidated and to solve social issues.<\/p>\r\n
