Creating a comfortable future society
with cutting-edge research

It is not an exaggeration to say everything that forms our social infrastructure is based on electrical and electronic engineering. In the Graduate Major in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, globally cutting-edge research in this field, with a focus on electric power, communications, electronic and optical devices, integrated circuits and systems, and material properties, is carried out. We train students to become engineers and research leaders who can be globally successful.

Objectives

Push back the frontiers of
electrical and electronic engineering

The Master's Program provides education and research opportunities with a focus on areas that form our social infrastructure — energy, communications, circuit systems, materials, and devices. It aims to cultivate individuals who, equipped with originality, intellect, and the ability to apply knowledge and develop ideas, can go on to have a successful global career.

In addition to providing education and research opportunities with a focus on areas forming our social infrastructure, such as energy, communications, circuit systems, materials, and devices, the Doctoral Program cultivates individuals with logical thinking and reasoning skills, strong knowledge of cutting-edge technologies and ideas, and the ability to disseminate information globally. As experts in their chosen fields and leaders with deep insight and high ethics, these individuals will go on to extend the frontiers of science and technology to realize a prosperous global society.
