Mathematical Information Systems Course
I want to create the next generation of software! I want to use informatics to solve social problems!
Students will study science that explores the essence of problems ranging from elucidating natural phenomena to understanding local problems from the perspective of mathematical information systems. In particular, students will study a wide range of information science based on mathematics, which provides a logical foundation, and conduct education and research that combines information-related science and engineering.
About the Education Program
Cultivate high-level information processing skills while learning the fundamentals of information science through practical experience
Students will learn "Informatics," which deals with the principles and technology of analyzing and processing a wide range of information related to nature and society, as well as its applications, and the fundamental mathematics, as well as the broad range of specialized foundations of natural science (mainly physics, chemistry, and biology) necessary for utilizing information technology. The main pillars of the education field are "Informatics," "Mathematics," and "Specialized Foundations of Natural Science."
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 Science and 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 knowledge of science and engineering, and then begin studying course subjects. Students will also learn the basics of semiconductor engineering regardless of their specialty. In the second semester, students will focus on studying course subjects.
Third Year
Students will continue to study course subjects from the second semester of their second year. They will acquire a wide range of specialized knowledge related to their field, and will also engage in exercises ranging from basic to applied to integrate and utilize that knowledge.
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 more essential and develop their problem-solving skills.

About the classes
Informatics PBL Seminar
By carrying out practical exercises (PBL, Problem Based Learning) in which students develop software to solve given problems, students will develop problem-solving skills while independently preparing, researching, learning, and discussing. Students will form groups, determine on their own what is needed to develop the software for the problem, gather materials, study on their own, and work together as a group to accomplish the problem.
About the Research
Research and development of more practical disaster response systems using cutting-edge technology
Since the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, industry, academia and government have been working together to tackle the issue of disaster resistance. ICT is expected to be used in the field of disaster resistance, but existing ICT is mainly used for data management and information transmission, and its benefits have not been fully utilized. Therefore, we aim to apply cutting-edge AI and communication technologies to research and develop more practical disaster-resistant systems. Specifically, after a disaster occurs, a wide variety of data collected from sensors and cameras is analyzed to accurately grasp the damage situation and make quick decisions such as rescue. In addition, by performing tasks without being affected by damage to network infrastructure, it becomes possible to automatically control robots, drones, etc. based on the results of calculations by AI.
