Departments

Three departments at Kumamoto Campus are deeply related to electronics and information engineering: Departments of Information, Communication and Electronic Engineering, Control and Information Systems Engineering and Human-Oriented Information Systems Engineering. Yatsushiro Campus has three departments of “combined” general engineering: Departments of Mechanical and Intelligent Systems Engineering, Architecture and Civil Engineering and Biological and Chemical Systems Engineering.
Our college has the faculty of liberal studies on both campuses.
