Education

Based on physical electronics and materials chemistry, Department of Electronics and Materials Science offers practical and basic education on the development of various electronic and energy devices including nanodevices and nanomaterials. These are important for progressing the energy, transport, and electronic industries as well as making many highly advanced materials. We aim to train many talented researchers and engineers who can develop the frontiers of science and technology. Our department has two courses: Course of Electronics and Devices and Course of Materials Science and Engineering. After one year of general subjects, students can choose one of the two courses, where they learn both basic and specialized knowledge concerning their field.

Courses

Course of Electronics and Devices

Development of engineers and reserchers who can contribute to the development of electronic devices from a global perspective

In addition to the basic study of electronics such as electromagnetism, electronic circuitry, solid-state physics, and electronic devices, students can acquire the basics of materials science. In this way the program aim to train talented researchers and engineers with a base knowledge of electronic devices and materials science.
