Recently, this technology has been adopted by a wide variety of systems that handle electric power, including those that drive motors of electric trains, robots, and other machines, as well as renewable energy systems.Speech and Acoustic EngineeringStudents learn not only the information processing and physical aspects of audio and sound but also acoustics in general. ■e subject covers everything from audiology to the theory of audio generation, how microphones and speakers work, music and instruments, acoustics of halls and rooms, and ultrasound.Information & Communication EngineeringStudents learn basic technologies such as modulation and demodulation methods for transmitting signals by radio waves and transmission methods and network con■gurations for mobile phones and wireless LANs, and their application to practical services.Production EngineeringStudents learn process systems, such as the design of factory layout and production lines, which involve the ■ow of goods from raw materials to ■nished products, and management systems, such as production planning and inventory control, which involve the ■ow of information. OptoelectronicsStudents learn the basic structures of optoelectronic devices, such as semiconductor lasers and photodetectors, and the principles of operation, as well as optical ■ber communications and other systems and their applications.Machine DesignStudents learn in concrete terms the process of drawing industrial solutions that satisfy performance and functional requirements when they design and develop new equipment and systems based on users’needs.Geometry (Manifold ■eory)A manifold is a space in which a position is speci■ed locally on a map like the surface of the earth. Students learn calculus on manifolds, which is essential for understanding the whole space by connecting local geometric structures.Medicinal Chemistry (Organic Chemistry of Biomolecules and Medicines)Students learn methods for synthesizing organic compounds whose properties, reactivities, and functional characteristics are derived from heteroatoms. Such compounds are useful for the development of pharmaceuticals.Biophysics■e purpose of biophysics is to understand life phenomena and chemical reactions governing them based on physics. ■rough lectures, students develop the ability to understand the relationship between three-dimensional structures and the functions of biological macromolecules from the perspective of atoms and molecules.Cell Function EngineeringStudents learn material production capabilities useful for environmental management and human life and such processes as metabolism and its applications, using mainly microorganisms with diverse metabolic pathways despite having a simple regime and a small genome.Electric Power System Engineering■e subject focuses on the entire system consisting of power plants, power transmission equipment, substations, distribution equipment, consumers, etc. Students learn the characteristics of power systems, control for stable use of electrical energy, and concepts of economic e■ciency and reliability.Quantum Statistical MechanicsStudents learn how to handle groups of particles that follow the principles of quantum mechanics—a body of knowledge that is indispensable to understanding how materials, particularly microscopic ones, behave at low temperatures. Focus is given to metals and semiconductors in order to deepen students’ understanding of materials.Low-temperature physics and superconductivityTo understand the phenomena of superconductivity, students learn the characteristics of electrical conduction at low temperatures and the basics of superconductivity.
