Education
The Department of Mathematical and Systems Engineering aims to educate independently-minded systems engineers, contributing to the harmony between the natural environment and the human society. We offer an educational program consisting of mathematical science and information science, which form the base of systems engineering. Subjects in the former field include mathematical modeling, simulation methods, numerical calculation, and mathematical optimization. On the other hand, subjects in the latter field contain programming, algorithms, computer networks, and computer architecture. To help students to develop necessary skills for creating optimal systems that are both human and environment friendly, we apply the learned knowledge in the basics to the field of environmental science and engineering contain environmental systems engineering and environmental design. We also introduce group-based learning such as applied practice of systems engineering and programming contests, aiming at developing students’ presentation and communication skills, learning and research abilities, and creativity.
