Cultivating human resources with broad perspectivesand advanced expertise to support cutting-edge science and technology in modern society.
Electrical, electronic, and information engineering are fundamental disciplines for supporting and developing modern society. Therefore, our department aims to provide education and research to cultivate human resources who can contribute to society by acquiring a wide range of knowledge and skills from the perspectives of both fields. First, based on mathematics and physics, we cultivate practical abilities and application skills through electrical and electronic exercises. In addition, we organize a curriculum to cultivate the ability to think with ethics while considering the environment and nature along with specialized abilities. In the three courses, in addition to learning each field centrally, we also arrange subjects that allow students to learn course content in a cross-sectional manner.
Students learn widely the basic knowledge and technology of electrical energy generation and transmission that supports our lives, semiconductors such as transistors and ICs, the Internet and mobile phones, artificial intelligence, robots, and image and sound processing. Students cultivate practical abilities through experiments to understand the mechanisms of electrical and electronic circuits and programming exercises. From the third year, students are divided into three courses—electrical and electronic engineering, information and communication engineering, and applied information engineering—to study specialized fields, and in the fourth year, they work on graduation research utilizing specialized knowledge.
Students learn specialized knowledge related to the generation and transmission of electrical energy such as power generation and transmission and distribution, as well as the use and control of electric motors in factories and residences, and the structure and characteristics of semiconductors such as transistors and ICs, aiming to become electrical and electronic engineers with broad application skills.
Students acquire specialized knowledge of communication engineering and its application technologies for people to exchange information with people, people with things, and things with things. Students aim to acquire a well-balanced understanding from both hardware and software perspectives of the mechanisms for transmitting and receiving information using light and radio waves and network technologies that connect many communication devices.
Students acquire specialized knowledge to develop fusion technologies of hardware and software. Students learn about artificial intelligence, robots, media processing such as images and sounds, and technologies that connect computers and people, aiming to become information processing engineers who can be widely active in society.

I am researching the differences in how people perceive events. For example, among volleyball spectators, there are fans who are disappointed by mistakes made by the team they support, while fans supporting the opposing team may rejoice at the same mistakes. I am verifying through simulations with limited conditions the mechanism by which people have different impressions and stories about the same event due to cognitive bias.
Currently, I am verbalizing the differences in numerical values extracted through simulations with generative AI and verifying the differences in stories. In my graduate research, I plan to have people with different stories converse and advance research on how stories change and what kind of conversation is needed to cause targeted changes.
