Department of Electronic and Information Engineering (Doctoral Program) Curriculum Policy

① Curriculum composition policy
Department of Electronic and Information Engineering (Doctoral Program) consists of three specializations: Applied Physics Engineering, Division of Applied Electronics Engineering, and Division of Computer Science. These three specializations provide students with a systematic curriculum to acquire more advanced and specialized knowledge in the fields of Department of Applied Physics, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and Department of Computer and Information Sciences, which are each established in the Master's Program, and to equip them with the ability to use cutting-edge science and technology to solve a wide range of applied social problems.
In order to achieve perspectives A and B, we have organized a curriculum consisting of "specialized subjects" and "common subjects" to further deepen the knowledge and skills acquired in undergraduate education and the master's program at the graduate school. In the "specialized subjects," we offer specialized subjects for each subdivided field in order to uncover cutting-edge issues in each specialized field, conduct practical research and technological development, and disseminate information internationally.
In order to realize Perspective C, various seminar subjects and special research subjects are organized so that students can acquire the ability to apply the specialized knowledge they have acquired to specific problems through practical activities, devise solutions to those problems, and plan, design, and carry out those solutions on their own.
In order to realize viewpoint D, we will provide an internship course that will enable students to acquire the ability to collaborate with researchers and engineers in different fields and develop new interdisciplinary fields.

(2) Policy on educational content and implementation methods
In order to acquire the abilities specified in the viewpoint A, each department offers lecture courses to understand and acquire advanced and specialized knowledge in each field.
In order to acquire the abilities specified in Perspectives B and C, Graduate School of Engineering common subjects such as "special planning research" and other laboratory-based practical subjects, and various special lectures and seminars are offered to acquire knowledge that can be applied to research and technological development in the specialized fields of each department, and abilities to set up issues, plan, and solve problems in each field. To acquire the abilities specified in the point of view D, we will open courses.
In order to acquire the abilities specified in Perspective D, we offer subjects related to "language" and subjects that help students acquire "communication" and "presentation" skills.

③ Policy regarding methods for evaluating learning outcomes
In order to develop engineers, researchers and educators who have acquired the skills set out in the diploma policy, students are graded by exams and reports for lectures, and by reports and oral exams for experiments, practical training and exercises. Course grades are expressed in five grades: S, A, B, C and D, with S, A, B and C being passes and D being a fail. Students who pass are awarded the designated number of credits. In addition, for dissertations, the examination criteria and methods are clearly stated, and the dissertation examination and final examination are conducted rigorously by the Dissertation Examination Committee based on theses.
