Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Top Departments Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Education

The Department of Electrical and electronic engineering forms the basis of a broad spectrum of industrial fields, including electrical and electronic equipment, various kinds of manufacturing devices, automobiles, communications, electrical power, railways, aerospace devices, OA equipment, and medical devices, just to name a few. The Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering conducts education and research in various fields of academia and engineering pertaining to the design and development of electrical and electronic equipment and devices in these fields. Our aim is to educate engineers who are specialized at finding solutions to wide-ranging issues in electrical, electronic, and information engineering. In this faculty, we provide two curriculum pathways for students, one specializing in information electronics, and the other in energy and electronic control. Companies in Hamamatsu and the Tokai region as a whole, as well as enterprises from all over Japan, look on graduates and master’s-degree students in these fields as skilled and accomplished human resources who will lead industry forward into the future.

After Graduation

The number of job openings is between 500 and 700 every year and our employment rate is almost 100%

Around two-thirds of the students from our department go on to master’s courses, and after completing their master’s degrees, a number of them have gone on to complete doctoral degrees. Because electrical and electronic engineering is closely related to all kinds of industrial fields, graduates find work in fields relating to electrical and electronics control, computers, automobiles, power generation, medical and welfare equipment, railways, precision equipment, heavy-steel-related, and chemical industries, just to name a few. Other possibilities include food and pharmaceutical related industries. Between 500 and 700 companies hire new employees every year, and large numbers of graduates with master’s degrees are being hired by well-known leaders such as Mitsubishi Electric Corp., Central Japan Railway Co. (JR Tokai), Chubu Electric Power, Denso, Suzuki, Panasonic, Toyota Motor Corp., Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd., Honda Motor Co., Ltd., Hamamatsu Photonics K. K., Hitachi, Ltd. and Sony Corporation.
