Electronics and Information Systems Engineering Course : Kumamoto Campus

As essential knowledge on this course, comprehensive basic subjects such as “Creative Production Technologies”, “Kansei Information Technologies”, “Engineering Ethics”, etc., which are based on five-year education in each department, are arranged.

Parallel with these subjects, there are some required subjects; “Engineering English” to make students interested in overseas research papers, “Graduation Research of Systems Engineering” to intend to improve their research and development abilities, etc.

Moreover, as specialized elective subjects, we arrange some specialized basic subjects such as “Digital Electronic Circuit”, “Data Science” and “Physics Simulation”, which are basic to electronics, information or control technologies.

As applied elective subjects, there are Electronics and Communications Subjects, such as “Integrated Circuit Engineering” or “Multimedia Engineering”.

And there are Information Control Subjects, such as “Intelligent Control System Theory” or “Advanced Topics of Robotics”.

In addition, we intended to improve practical skills, by practical subjects such as “Practical of Technological Design”, “Internship Practice”, and by the ICT related subjects such as “Advanced Topics of Information Security”, “Advanced Topics of Network Engineering”.
