Grasp the connections between ever-changing things to create a smart society.
“Network” means the connections among all objects and events. Countless connections exist in the world, starting from a single power line to social infrastructure such as the telephone network, the Internet, the transportation network, etc., and the ICT systems that allow companies to conduct business across national boundaries, and these connections function dynamically every day. The Department of Network Design is aiming for more than the mere design and operation of networks. Our aim is the construction of an optimal and safe network which meets the needs of people and the environment, or in other words, the realization of a smart society. For that reason this department offers a wide variety of subjects to enable students to learn about many fields in addition to the basic engineering technology and computer technology which form the networks, including intelligent mathematical systems for flexibly solving problems and the technologies used in network designs in the immediately surrounding environment. We develop human resources capable of strongly supporting the future society infrastructure in fields such as the environment and energy, information and communications, business, etc. New education and research using reliable knowledge and techniques that will open up our daily-evolving society and support the next generation begins here.
