Satisfying curiosity
Practical research
Students will take on a variety of themes, including smartphone app production, web system development, autonomous driving control, VR simulator development, AI applications, and big data utilization, and gain practical knowledge in information technology and information mathematics.
Industry-academia collaborative practical education
In the "Project-Based Design Exercise," students learn practically by working in teams to develop information systems under the guidance of active engineers in collaboration with an IT company in Fukuoka.
Advanced Program
A support program that responds to motivation
Programming skills
"Visualization" Program

Four-year learning process
First year:Learning a broad range of fundamental subjects.
Through foundational subjects such as discrete mathematics, linear algebra, programming, and information literacy, students will develop the logical thinking skills and technical and mathematical aptitude necessary for studying and understanding information science. Course selection will take place after enrollment.
Second year:Develop specialized skills
Each course covers software, hardware, AI, information mathematics, and mathematical methods through lectures, exercises, and experiments, systematically cultivating the practical skills, applied skills, and mathematical foundation necessary for building information systems and understanding them theoretically.
Enhancing specialized knowledgein the third year
Through applied and specialized subjects such as software, hardware, AI, information mathematics, statistics, and analysis, students will develop a theoretical understanding of information technology and the ability to design, implement, and evaluate systems, before beginning full-scale research in the laboratory.
4th yearIn the future (employment/further education)

Information Technology Courses
Acquire the basics of information technology and develop talent that can contribute to society
Students will learn software technologies such as programming and algorithms, hardware technologies such as computers and embedded systems, and network technologies. From the second year, students will split into the "General Education Program" (JABEE accredited) and the "Applied Education Program" to learn information technology in a practical way.
Information and Mathematics Course
Nurturing professionals who can apply mathematics and information
As part of traditional mathematics, students will learn differential and integral calculus, linear algebra, probability and statistics, etc., to solidify their mathematical foundations. They will also study discrete mathematics and other fields of mathematics that have developed alongside computers as part of information mathematics, and will theoretically study information science.

Hardware design, production and evaluation
Learn the basics of hardware through
Hardware experiment
Professor Yoshihiro Yasutake
Students will learn the basics of hardware through designing, building, and evaluating hardware. Specifically, students will learn classical hardware design methods using integrated circuits (TTL-IC), cutting-edge hardware design methods using LSI integrated development tools on computers, and system design methods using embedded software, for which hardware knowledge is essential. By developing a digital system with the same specifications using three design methods, students will understand the characteristics of each design method and acquire the skills to use each design method.
Simulation, audio and image processing,
Learn the numerical analysis required for artificial intelligence
Numerical Analysis
Professor Kenichi Ishida
In this class, you will learn how to solve problems using numerical calculations. The laws necessary for engineering design and elucidating natural and social phenomena are expressed as equations that include differentials, integrals, vectors, and matrices. If the equation has many variables or is complex, it is difficult to find a solution by transforming the equation. Therefore, a method is required to calculate differentials and integrals by adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing numerical values to find an approximate solution. Advances in computers have made it possible to perform many calculations at high speeds. It has become a necessary analytical method in many fields, including simulation, audio and image processing, and artificial intelligence.

Yoshihiro Yasutake Seminar
Learn about autonomous robots
Contest Winner
In our research into autonomous driving robots, we are working on robot control and image processing using artificial intelligence technology. For example, we proposed a model of the recognition method required for a robot to drive, and evaluated machine learning based on that model using actual equipment and simulations. As a place to put these results into practice, we participated in the ET Robocon hosted by the Japan Embedded Systems Technology Association (JASA), and in 2023 we won third place at the national competition.

Izumi High School/Kagoshima
Through ET Robocon and other events, I learned the importance of cooperation, adaptability, and communication in team development. It was interesting to consult with other members and go through a process of trial and error to get the robot to work properly.
Koichiro Tanaka Seminar
Create a smartphone app
Resolving local community issues
As we move into an age where everyone has a smartphone, have you ever wished there was an app like this? In this seminar, students are provided with the opportunity to create the apps they want. Specific examples include "Marine World," "KSU," "Akamura," "JR Kyushu Kashii Line," and "Munakata Video Survey." These are apps that were developed and released by seminar students in collaboration with students from other faculties at the university to address issues in the local community.

When creating an app, we consider whether to use Android or iPhone or both, whether a server is necessary, whether to use hardware, etc. Together with my seminar students, I challenge myself to "make what doesn't exist!" and enjoy developing in collaboration with Faculty of Art and Design.

- Employment
- Mitsubishi Electric Engineering Co., Ltd.
I was disappointed when I didn't make the selection process for an internship I wanted to participate in during the summer of my third year. I lost motivation for a while, but I changed my mindset, realizing I couldn't give up like that, and started focusing on interview practice towards the end of my third year. By deepening my self-analysis and practicing my answers to anticipated questions many times, I became able to confidently communicate my thoughts. This steady accumulation of effort paid off, and I was ultimately able to secure a job offer.
