Ryo Kurazume
Director of Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Faculty of Engineering
Kyushu University
The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science is one of the longest-established departments at Kyushu University, tracing its origins back to the Department of Electrical Engineering founded in 1911 alongside the establishment of former Kyushu Imperial University. While maintaining its long tradition, the department has continuously evolved in order to anticipate changes in society and provide education and research that meet the needs of each era. In 1996, the former Department of Electrical Engineering, the Department of Electronics, and the Department of Computer Science and Communication Engineering were integrated to form the present Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
One of the major features of our department is that students can directly learn from world-leading faculty members in two distinct fields: “Electrical Engineering (Energy and Electronics)” and “Information Science.” In the field of electrical engineering, students acquire deep knowledge of the fundamental technologies that support modern society, including energy engineering, measurement and control, superconductivity, plasma engineering, electronics, electronic devices, and wireless communications. In the field of information science, students can study a broad range of subjects, from fundamentals such as information theory and machine learning to advanced applications including supercomputing, artificial intelligence, robotics, software engineering, communication networks, and cybersecurity.
Furthermore, by advancing to the Graduate School of Information Science and Electrical Engineering, students can pursue more specialized studies in cutting-edge areas such as quantum computing and next-generation semiconductor technologies.
We warmly invite you to join the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, where you can experience cutting-edge technologies, broaden your potential, and grow into an engineer who will help shape the future of society together with us.
