Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering

Admission Policy - What we look for in students -

The Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering aims to nurture industrial engineers who can contribute to the welfare of mankind in our globalizing modern society. In particular, electric energy systems and information communication systems--our major subjects--are indispensable for supporting modern life and for providing advanced information technologies that are safe, secure, and eco-friendly.
We look for students who are interested and passionate about electrical and systems engineering and who have the following attributes:

1. students with a flexible mindset who are internationally-oriented and who believe in contributing to society;
2. students who have basic academic competence in mathematics, science, and English;
3. students who have basic communication skills;
4. students who can proactively solve problems and have a strong desire to continue studying.

Overview of our Curriculum

Curriculum Policy (Educational Policy)

The Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering has established programs that are well balanced in specialize electrical systems and in liberal arts to nurture socially and internationally minded benevolent engineers.

Study Support

We hold after-school classes called Michikusa-juku, an advisory and consulting service for our students. We teach students how to write reports on their experiments and how to solve problems that they could not understand during class.

Licenses and Certificate

1. A license to become a chief electrical engineer

After completing the required subjects, the student must take hands-on courses after graduation.

2. Type 1 High school teacher’s license (Industry)

After completing the required subjects in engineering, the student must acquire certain units that are stated in the teacher’s license.
