In the modern society, development is earnestly desired with a system
which provides humans with sufficient aid not only in simple work but also
in intelligent jobs, and furthermore allows a variety of operations to
be conducted for humans. Humans can grasp the affairs surrounding them
through their sensory organs including eyes and ears, and can carry out
various kinds of actions by thinking with their brains accompanied with
the use of their hands and feet. Also in order to make use of the maneuvers
referred above, by means of any devices, similar processings such as sensing
and perception (eyes and ears), 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 for humans by accomplishing
realization of the systems oriented toward intelligence by means of electronic-control
/
information-control technology.
The Educational Objectives of the Department of Electronic Control Engineering
Our aim is to cultivate engineers who are able to respond in a flexible manner to various technologies and meet the challenges of recent progress made in electronic control technology. Our educational objectives are to foster students who can familiarize themselves with the advancement and segmentation of electronic control technology and operate electronic control systems by applying the fundamental skills they have acquired. The social role of the department is to cultivate human resources who can make use of comprehensive skills of mechanics, electrics, electronics, and information technology and creatively develop more advanced and environmentally friendly intellectual systems.Based on the above criteria, the Department of Electronic Control Engineering upholds its “Engineer to Be Trained” and its “Educational Objectives” below:
Engineer to Be Trained
An engineer who has acquired the fundamental knowledge and perspectives of mechanics, electrics, electronics, and information technology. An engineer who, on the basis of electronic control and information technology, has acquired the creative ability to improve and develop technology in order to serve the needs of the international community.
