Education
The Department of Mathematical and Systems Engineering aims to cultivate engineers capable of analyzing and designing large-scale systems in an increasingly complex society using mathematical sciences and information technologies, as well as experts who can create new technologies. In our department, students will broadly study mathematical sciences such as mathematical modeling, optimization, machine learning, and data analysis, as well as information technologies including programming, algorithm design, simulation, numerical analysis, and distributed processing. Students will also learn system design and analysis based on these foundations through practical experience. Furthermore, through project-based learning (PBL) courses grounded in group activities such as Systems Engineering Application Practice and Programming Contests, students develop practical skills in presentation, communication, and self-directed lifelong learning.
