Fundamental Engineering for Knowledge-Based Society

Course Overview

The Information Science Course offers a systematic study of information and communication systems in addition to basic subjects in a wide range of fields spanning from computer hardware to software.

The rapid spread of the Internet and wireless networks is bringing drastic changes in our society. The large computers that occupied our computer room 20 years ago have become so small and powerful that they can be placed in the palm of one’s hand, thanks to technological advances in semiconductors. Furthermore, distributed system technology has enabled high-speed, large-capacity computing. The establishment of superior information technology has become essential for the maintenance and improvement of human activities. Computer Science is a specialized field of study that consists of technologies for efficiently, accurately, and safely transmitting, storing, and processing large volumes of information and technologies for expressing, exchanging, and processing information in a way that appeals to the five human senses, and that will serve as the foundation for connecting the changing modern society to a more prosperous advanced information society.

The sound development of information engineering will lead to the creation of a safe and secure “advanced information society. The Information Science Course views information technology from both hardware and software perspectives, and educates advanced engineers through education and research suited to the new era.
