Key Features of the Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering

The Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering pursues research in quantum effect devices that utilize exotic properties of matter and non-equilibrium physical phenomena at the atomic and electronic level, other high-performance devices enabled by nanoelectronics, and optoelectronics, the fusion of electronic and optical technologies. The breakthroughs these bring are expected to pave the way for adaptive systems that interface with living organisms and the environment through visual and sensory information.

Technological advancement is not achieved through sudden breakthroughs, but through the steady accrual of previous knowledge. While pursuing cutting-edge academic research, it is equally important to master foundational disciplines. The Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering develops professionals capable of driving technological innovation. This is achieved by focusing on the development of new devices emerging from nanoelectronics and optoelectronics, and the subsequent development of circuits and information systems based on these technologies.

The department’s curriculum enables students to master the entire spectrum of electrical, electronic, and information engineering, from fundamental areas such as “Electronic Properties,” “Quantum and Optoelectronics,” and “Circuits and Information Systems,” to applied fields closely tied to our daily lives, including “System LSI,” “Optical Communication Systems,” “Medical Engineering,” and “Devices and Processes.” There is also a strong emphasis on education that utilizes the latest computers as tools and on creative experimental education.

The curriculum is designed hierarchically to ensure students acquire a thorough understanding of foundational disciplines: materials science and quantum engineering, electronic and optical devices, circuits and measurement, and information and communications.

Major field courses offered in three core areas: “Electronic Properties,” “Quantum and Optoelectronics,” and “Circuits and Information Systems”

An emphasis is placed on practical education where students naturally acquire the ability to use computers effectively and design software tailored to specific problems and solutions through experiments and exercises in courses such as “Electrical and Information Engineering Experiments.”

Completing the required courses exempts students from national examinations such as the “Chief Electrical Engineer” certification

Graduation research involves students tackling cutting-edge research topics in their chosen fields alongside numerous faculty members and graduate students with internationally recognized research achievements
