Vision
Research and education on fundamental technologies and applied systems for an advanced, sustainable, and human-centered information and communications society
The Department of Information and Communications Engineering studies areas related to communication networks, represented prominently by such areas as mobile phones and the Internet. Topics range from integrated-circuit technologies used in communication to large-scale network systems. Students acquire a comprehensive understanding of both hardware and software — knowledge necessary in creating information and communications systems. They also develop a strong awareness of the merits of system reliability and serviceability. Furthermore, through programming courses, laboratory courses, and independent research projects, students deepen their understanding of the discipline and acquire practical skills. We aim to cultivate researchers and engineers who will be active in industry, academia, policy-making, and other international arenas related to information and communications engineering.
Message from the Department Chair
Information and communications technology (ICT) supports systems related to everyday human communication such as smartphones, email, and the Web. In our department, students can learn a wide range of subjects such as wireless communication, networks, information theory, encryption, VLSI, image/language processing, artificial intelligence, human interfaces, human sensation/brain information processing, etc. It is also possible to carry out the most advanced research in those fields. Through such education and research, we aim to realize a sustainable information and communication society that is kind to people and the earth.
