Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Department Features

Understand the systems behind electricity generation and transmission, and explore technologies that enhance convenience in everyday life.

When we think of technologies that rely on electricity and electronics, we often envision lighting, televisions, refrigerators, and other electrical appliances, as well as communication devices like personal computers and smartphones and transportation systems such as railways and automobiles. However, the applications of electricity are vast and will undoubtedly continue to expand in the future. In the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, students learn about the behavior of electricity, which powers movement, and electronics, which enable communication and control. They also develop control systems to efficiently and safely utilize both electricity and electronics. A key advantage of this field is its broad scope, encompassing high-voltage electricity, light, sound, magnetism, energy, and more. Graduates apply their knowledge and skills across a wide range of industries, including automotive, railway, electronics, civil engineering, and construction.

  (2) Acquire foundational knowledge in natural sciences, including mathematics and physics, as well as experimental techniques, and be able to apply them to problem-solving.

  (3) In addition to general foundational knowledge in electrical and electronic engineering, acquire specialized knowledge and be able to apply it effectively.

  (4) Be able to conduct experiments in electrical and electronic engineering, analyze and discuss the data obtained, and logically explain the findings. Additionally, be able to clearly express thoughts and opinions, understand others, and collaborate effectively to solve problems.

  (5) Take an active interest in international trends and the social significance of electrical and electronic engineering, and engage proactively in new innovations and problem-solving efforts.
• Curriculum Policy

  To develop professionals with the competencies outlined in the diploma policy, the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering structures its curriculum based on the following principles:

   

  (1) Following the Chiba Institute of Technology's Faculty of Engineering Curriculum Policy, students acquire a broad foundation in communication skills, human development, international understanding, and knowledge of humanity, society, and nature. These subjects ensure that graduates possess the cultural and ethical awareness needed to function as engineers in the global society.

  (2) The specialized foundational courses primarily consist of mathematics, physics, and chemistry, providing the essential scientific and technical knowledge required for electrical and electronic engineering. Most of these courses are mandatory, ensuring students develop a strong foundation in natural sciences and experimental techniques.

  (3) The core specialized courses, including electromagnetism, electrical circuits, electronic circuits, and semiconductor devices, equip students with fundamental knowledge in electrical and electronic engineering. The advanced specialized courses cover a broad range of topics such as electric power generation, transmission, and distribution; electrical machinery; measurement and control systems; acoustics and optics; and signal processing, allowing students to explore specialized fields.

  (4) The “Electrical and Electronic Engineering Laboratory” (1, 2, 3) courses deepen students’ understanding of specialized knowledge through hands-on experiments.

  Students develop skills in experiment planning, execution, data analysis, and evaluation, while also enhancing teamwork and communication abilities through collaborative projects.

  (5) In mandatory courses such as "Seminar (1, 2)" and "Graduation Research", students integrate their acquired knowledge to identify and address real-world engineering challenges from a global perspective. Students cultivate engineering design abilities, including problem identification, proposing solutions, planning and executing research, and logically explaining their thought processes and technical findings.
• Admissions Policy

  The Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering aims to develop students who are interested in international trends and the social significance of electrical and electronic engineering and can proactively and creatively engage and problem-solving in this area. To achieve this, the department provides students with the opportunity to acquire and apply both general and specialized knowledge in electrical and electronic engineering, grounded in foundational knowledge and experimental techniques in subjects such as mathematics and physics. Students also develop the ability to conduct experiments related to electrical and electronic engineering, analyze and discuss the data obtained, and logically explain the results. Furthermore, students are encouraged to clearly express their thoughts and opinions, collaborate to solve problems, and broaden their knowledge in areas such as nature, society, and culture while developing an ethical perspective that enables them to make judgments regarding the social and environmental impacts of electrical and electronic engineering.
