Computer and Communications Engineering Program Overview

Education in this program aims to provide wide-ranging and systematic study of technologies that use computers, information, and communications to enrich human society and lifestyles. The program cultivates engineers equipped with universally applicable, fundamental academic proficiencies that underpin timeless technologies.
Specifically, the objectives of education and research in the program are to foster human resources with the following abilities by the time they graduate.

• ?Fundamental academic proficiency in mathematics, physics, and other disciplines constituting the foundations of technology;
• ?Basic ways of thinking and foundational techniques in information and communications engineering, and the ability to apply them creatively to solve problems;
• ?The ability to solve problems by designing and deploying systems, while considering the constraints of information technology and information/communications technology, and the effects they have on society;
• ?The ability to engage with and investigate issues autonomously with a wide-ranging perspective and global standpoint, founded on broad learning and abundant human qualities;
• ?The ability to communicate with others as a professional engineer.

In order to foster human resources stated in the Education and Research Objectives, the Information and Communications Engineering Program confers degrees on students who satisfy the graduation requirements and have acquired the following abilities and attributes by the time of graduation.

• Fundamental academic proficiency, specialized knowledge, and cross-disciplinary knowledge in mathematics, physics, and other disciplines constituting the foundations of technology, and the ability to solve technical problems;
• The ability to play active roles as science and engineering professionals equipped with advanced ethical standards and the communication skills needed to solve problems cooperatively, while considering the effects information and communications technology has on society, and diversity in society and the world.

In addition to the above, acquisition of the following abilities is required in each Course.

Information and Communications Engineering Course:
? A systematic understanding of information and communications systems and the essential features of networks in terms of both hardware and software, and the ability to apply such knowledge and skills to solve problems;
? The practical ability to contribute to the realization of an affluent and sustainable society.

Computer Science and Engineering Course:
? The ability to design and deploy computer systems with an awareness of the basic approaches and core technologies of information engineering, and their social impact and effectiveness;
? The capacity to apply the above abilities creatively.

In order to equip students with the abilities stated in the Diploma Policy, the Information and Communications Engineering Program constructs its curriculum, conducts education, and assesses academic achievement in accordance with the following principles:

1. (1) Specialized subjects in year 1; general education subjects in years 1 and 2
   These subjects are designed to develop foundational knowledge and skills common to all areas of specialization.
2. (2) Specialized subjects in year 2
   These introductory specialized subjects provide the foundations for each area of specialization and prepare students for 欧洲杯足彩app下载_欧洲杯下注平台-【直播*网站】 advanced specialized subjects.
3. (3) Specialized subjects and graduation research in years 3 and 4
   This subject group offers a relatively larger proportion of specialized mandatory elective subjects, encouraging students to pursue studies with an emphasis on their preferred area of specialization. These specialized subjects are designed with education to cultivate problem-solvers, practical education centered on research, and professional engineering education to impart cross-disciplinary knowledge. They connect with graduation research projects in which students receive supervision in a research laboratory.
4. (4) Active learning subjects and global PBL subjects
   In order to acquire the knowledge and skills stated in the Diploma Policy and the academic and educational achievement goals, students study basic principles and theories in lecture subjects, and deepen their understanding through active learning mainly in seminar subjects. They also accumulate experience as globally capable individuals though global PBL (problem-based learning) programs offered at all year levels.

These academic achievements are evaluated through written examinations, oral examinations, presentations, reports, and other formats aligned with the academic and educational achievement goals and the statements within the achievement goals that are emphasized in each subject concerned. Course credits are awarded to students whose achievements satisfy the prescribed level in the achievement goals.

Based on the policy stated above:

The Information and Communications Engineering Course cultivates understanding of the principles of information transmission by wireless, optical and other means and the apparatus and circuits that give them physical form, communication networking methods that raise the quality and reliability of information transmission, intelligent processing such as computer-driven evaluation and prediction based on data, and technologies such as human interfaces, and fosters the ability to combine these understandings to develop technology that helps enhance information and communications and generate new forms of value.

Under the principle of “technologies that enrich human society and lifestyles using computers,” the Computer Science and Engineering Course fosters understanding of the basic principles of software, hardware, artificial intelligence, human communication, and other information technologies, and the ability to express them through programming in order to promote the development and generation of cutting-edge technologies.

In order to foster students capable of utilizing the knowledge and skills they have learned in computing and information and communications technology to enrich society and lifestyles and contribute to the realization of a safe, secure society, the Information and Communications Engineering Program seeks to admit students from both Japan and abroad who display the following attributes and motivations.

• ? Students with an understanding of the essential principles of mathematics, physics, and chemistry and the ability to apply them constructively, together with advanced, balanced proficiency in foreign language reading, writing, and listening;
• ? Students with the ability to utilize sound knowledge based on substantive understanding to make comprehensive judgments using multiple viewpoints, and to draw conclusions;
• ? Students capable of conveying their thoughts in a logical and comprehensible form attuned to the recipient’s knowledge, background and standpoint;
• ? Students with an interest in technological trends and phenomena occurring around them, and the motivation to work on them in collaboration with numerous other people in order to make the world a better place.

The Program seeks applicants with the following attributes in addition to those stated above.

Information and Communications Engineering Course:
?Students who understand the basic principles of information and communications technology as a system supporting the information society, are motivated to create technologies that solve problems facing society and deliver new forms of value.

Computer Science and Engineering Course:
?Students with an interest in information/communications and underlying principles of computer science, the motivation to acquire and develop programming and other software-related skills, and the desire to contribute to society by deploying these skills freely to create new forms of value in human activity.

Individuals who agree with the above expectations and seek admission to the Program are encouraged to acquire the following through their studies in senior high school or equivalent:

1. (1) The knowledge, skills, and techniques studied in the senior high school curriculum or equivalent (especially foreign language, mathematics, and science);
2. (2) Abilities such as reasoning, judgment, and expression;
3. (3) Ability to take the initiative and learn in collaboration with diverse others.

In order to evaluate the above abilities in a multifaceted and integrated manner, the Program conducts selection of applicants for admission as follows, guided by the Admission Policy of the College of Engineering.

• ? In the Regular Admission Method Round 1, Round 2, and Common Round, and the English Language Proficiency/Certification Examinations Method, we evaluate (1), as well as (2) in the essay examination.
