Electric and Electronic Engineering
The major of Electric and Electronic Engineering is composed of the following three divisions: (1) Electric Systems, (2) Communication and Control, and (3) Electronic Material and Device. These divisions are conducting advanced and creative researches and educations in the areas of electric power systems, power electronics, communications and telecommunications, control systems, signal processing, robotics, biotechnology, integrated circuits and systems, nanotechnology, photonics and optoelectronics, and solid-state electronics, which form the basis of the different industries of the modern information society. At the same time the major of Electric and Electronic Engineering offers a well-rounded curriculum that leads to a high level of disciplinary in the fields of electrical, communication and control, and electronic engineering. The mission of Electrical and Electronic Engineering is to bring up talented researchers and engineers, who have the flexibility as well as highly specialized knowledge applicable to rapidly developing technologies and can contribute to Japanese society and the world in the future.

［Prof. Koichi OGAWA, Associate Prof. Tatsuo NOZOKIDO］
The short millimeter and sub-millimeter (terahertz) wave region of the electromagnetic spectrum is located between the microwave and the optical regions. Whilst the basic technologies in the microwave and the optical regions are well developed and matured, this is not the case for the short millimeter and sub-millimeter (terahertz) wave region. Since our society is becoming highly information-oriented, it is imperative that the potential of this region to handle high-density information is properly exploited. Furthermore, this region provides unique and useful diagnostic tools for research fields such as new material development, remote sensing, nuclear fusion plasma measurement, and medical diagnostics and treatments. Our group is developing solid-state devices and systems for use in this region. - Bio-Information Engineering
