The
Graduate School of Information
Science and Electrical Engineering
was established in 1996,
by reorganizing four departments
and a research institute,
as a unique graduate school
which provides comprehensive
graduate-level education
covering both information
and electrical-electronic
technologies. This was motivated
by the increasing demand
for highly educated engineers
and researchers able to
take a leadership role in
an increasingly advanced
information society where
essential roles will be
played by new technologies
and their combinations of
informatics, intelligent
systems, computer science,
communication engineering,
electrical engineering and
electronics.
The school
is now recognized as a leading
research and educational
institute in its field by
being designated a Center-Of-Excellence
by the government. These
high-level research activities
are reflected in the lectures
and research project supervision
provided to the students.
As a result,
graduates are in extremely
high demand, commonly receiving
more than 10 job offers
from various companies and
organizations. |
|
|
| The
school comprises the following
five departments: |
| 1) |
The Department of
Informatics which
undertakes theoretical
and experimental investigation
into the foundations
of information science; |
| 2) |
The Department of
Intelligent Systems
whose aims are clarifying
the true nature of
human intellect and
perception, and developing
systems which mimic
the functions of human
intelligence; |
| 3) |
The Department of
Computer Science and
Communication Engineering
where software and
hardware techniques
are being developed
for the transmission,
accumulation, recognition,
and processing of
information; |
| 4) |
The Department of
Electrical and Electronic
Systems Engineering
which is engaged in
building new fundamental
technologies for industrial
systems in an advanced
information society;
and |
| 5) |
The Department of
Electronics which
attempts to introduce
new technologies and
to create new electronics
devices to support
the development of
electric, electronic,
and information systems. |
|
| The
Faculty of Information Science
and Electrical Engineering,
which is the school’s corresponding
research body, has another
department, the Department
of Superconductivity. These
departments cooperate with
each other to perform a
wide range of education
and research programs on
foundations to applications
in the field of information
science and electrical engineering. |
