The Department of Social Systems and Management
The Department of Social Systems and Management runs a doctoral program by the same name and two master's programs: the Master's Program in Business Administration and Public Policy and the Master's Program in Social Systems Engineering. The mission of the Doctoral Program is to educate students in the application of appropriate techniques for dealing with various kinds of social phenomena and/or policy making, whether they become researchers or management professionals. Students pursue their goals in one of the following areas;
- Socio-Economic Systems,
- Management Science,
- Urban Planning
Master's Program in Business Administration and Public Policy
The Master's Program in Business Administration and Public Policy (MBA-MPP) is run by the Dept. of Social Systems and Management. The Program emphasizes practical knowledge and skills for dealing with various kinds of social phenomena and/or policy making in contrast to its sister Master's Program in Social Systems Engineering (SSE) which focuses on theoretical approaches. Students of MBA-MPP acquire expertise in the following three concentration areas: a) Finance, b) Management and Public Administration, and c) Marketing and Operations.
Master's Program in Social Systems Engineering
The Master's Program in Social Systems Engineering (SSE) is run by the Dept. of Social Systems and Management. The Program emphasizes theoretical approaches to various kinds of social phenomena and/or policy making in contrast to its sister Master's Program in Business Administration and Public Policy (MBA-MPP) which focuses on practical aspects. Students of SSE learn theory and analytical skills in the following three areas: a) Socio-Economic Systems, b) Management Sciences, and c) Urban Planning.
The Department of Risk Engineering
The Department of Risk Engineering provides high educational programs to offer broad technical knowledge and professional skills (in Master's program) and to produce researchers and academic experts (in Doctoral Program) capable of coping with risks in information networks and in large-scale complex infrastructures such as urban and energy systems by using scientific and technological methodologies. The Department includes four research fields :
- Total Risk Management,
- Cyber Risk,
- Urban Risk,
- Environmental and Energy System Risk.
The Department of Computer Science
The Department of Computer Science covers a wide ranges of research and education from fundamental information technologies to leading-edge technologies. The Department fosters researchers capable of analyzing and solving various problems in computer systems and related fields as well as engineers capable of developing and utilizing actual systems. Specific research fields include :
- Information Mathematics and Modeling,
- Intelligent Software,
- Software System,
- Computer Architecture,
- Media Engineering,
- Intelligent Systems.
The Department of Intelligent Interaction Technologies
The research activities being carried out in the Department of Intelligent Interaction Technologies range from fundmental theoretical work to cutting-edge technologies, both of which are integral parts of planning, designing and constructing engineering systerns concerning humans, machines and communications. These activities are concentrated on the following five fields :
- System Design,
- Man-Machine System and Robotics,
- Instrumentation and Control Engineering,
- Communication Systems,
- Electronics and Information System.
The Department of Engineering Mechanics and Energy
The Department of Engineering
Mechanics and Energy covers broad range of engineering fields such
as mechanical engineering, civil and environmental engineering, aeronautical
engineering, nuclear engineering, electrical engineering and energy engineering.
The department places emphasis not only on traditional academic training
related to the planning, design and manufacture of hardware, but also
on developing an ability to solve problem from the global point of view.
The curriculum consists of subjects in four fundamental courses:
Structure, Disaster Mitigation and Reliability Engineering, Solid Mechanics
and Materials Science, Fluid and Environmental Engineering, Energy and
Thermal Engineering.
Most of ongoing researches deal with advanced topics in the above areas
free from conventional classification.
