Electrical Engineering Course
I want to develop cool devices! I want to learn how electricity works!
We provide education and research that spans the fundamentals to applications of electrical and electronic engineering, communications engineering, and measurement and control engineering, including the technology for generating and sending electricity to homes and factories, the electronic circuits used in computers and home appliances, materials such as semiconductors used in electronic components, the communications technology that supports the Internet, and the motors that power robots.
About the Education Program
A wide-ranging curriculum for electrical engineering that can be applied in a variety of fields
We train engineers with specialized knowledge of electronic engineering, including electronic devices, electronic circuits, and computer engineering; specialized knowledge of electrical engineering, including the generation and supply of electrical energy, equipment and systems for utilizing electrical energy, and the control of various systems; and specialized knowledge of information and communications, including signal processing, communication methods and systems, and quantum measurement.
In the first year, students will study common subjects for the Faculty Faculty of Science and Engineering, as well as common subjects for natural sciences and information sciences, to develop the foundations of science and engineering and acquire the ability to use data.
In the second year, students will study the basics of other courses through specialized foundation subjects to improve their basic engineering skills, and will also begin studying course subjects. In addition, students will learn the basics of semiconductor engineering regardless of their specialty.

Flow of the four years
First year
By studying common subjects for the Faculty Faculty of Science and Engineering, as well as common subjects for natural science and information science, students will develop the basics of science and engineering and acquire the ability to use data. In the second semester, students will also take an Introduction to Engineering course to learn the outline of each course.
Second Year
In the first semester, students will study the basics of other courses through specialized foundation subjects to improve their basic engineering skills, and will also begin studying the foundation subjects of their course. Students will also learn the basics of semiconductor engineering regardless of their specialty. In the second semester, students will focus on their course subjects.
Third Year
From the second semester of the second year, students will continue to study course subjects. They will study compulsory and elective subjects, acquire specialized knowledge that is the foundation of electrical and electronic engineering, communication engineering, and measurement and control engineering, and acquire applied skills through practical training and exercises.
Fourth Year
The main part of learning in the fourth year is practical, through graduation research. By applying the knowledge acquired up to that point to problems set in each field, students will make their knowledge essential and develop their problem-solving skills.

About the classes
Electrical and Electronic Engineering Experiments A and B
Students will deepen their understanding of the basic subjects of electrical engineering and electronics by confirming the basic laws and characteristics of electrical measurement, control, communication, power, high voltage, electrical equipment, and optoelectronics that they have learned up to the third year through actual experiments. Through this course, students will also learn the operating principles and operation methods of basic measuring equipment. In this photo, the characteristics of a motor and a generator are being investigated. After confirming the method, students will work together to carry out the experiment.
About the Research
Development of a four-legged running robot with elastic legs
By utilizing the frequency entrainment phenomenon of nonlinear oscillators, it is possible to synchronize multiple systems that are vibrating independently. In this research, we have developed a four-legged robot with springs attached to the legs as shown in the figure, and aim to achieve high-speed running by utilizing the vibration of the springs. By appropriately synchronizing the leg motion and spring vibration using the frequency entrainment phenomenon, the elastic energy of the spring can be efficiently amplified, and efficient running can be expected by utilizing this elastic energy. Currently, with this robot, hopping motion and bounding running in all directions can be achieved by appropriately synchronizing the motion of each leg with the vibration of the springs and changing the synchronization timing of the four legs.
