Department of Electronic Control Engineering

In the modern society， development is earnestly desired with a system which affords humans sufficient aid not only in simple work but also in intelligent jobs, and furthermore allows a variety of operations to be conducted on behalf of humans. Humans can grasp the affairs surrounding them through their sensory organs including eyes, and can carry out various kinds of actions by thinking with their brains accompanied with the use of their hands and feet. Also in intending that the maneuvers referred to above should be made by means of any devices, similar processings such as sensing and perception (eyes), recognition and judgment (brains), control (hands and feet), etc. come to be required. Urgent appearance is required with intelligence-oriented systems allowing such processings to be completed autonomously without using human hands throughout the whole course of the operations. Intelligence- oriented systems are on the threshold of realization in all the fields ranging from establishment of production facilities in factories and plants, manufacture and construction of automobiles, aircraft, electronic apparatus, intelligent buildings, communication systems, medical equipment, promotion of bio-technology, etc. to production of household electric appliances. In our electronic control engineering department, fundamental technology to develop systems to conduct such intelligent actions is dealt with in an extensive scale. In this department, specific subjects related to measurement, control, information, and computers together with advanced theories concerning robotics engineering, system control engineering, etc. are also learned in addition to acquisition of the fundamental knowledge of electric, electronic, and mechanic systems. Meanwhile importance is also attached to experiments and exercises, and thorough performances are also being made with our experiments and exercises of electronic control engineering, robotics control, information processings, etc.

As stated above, our department aims at growing up those engineers who will be competent enough to be engaged in development of creative systems which are so designed as to conduct intelligent actions on behalf of humans by accomplishing realization of the systems oriented toward intelligence by means of electroniccontrol / information-control technology.
