Summary

In highly information-oriented and machine-oriented societies today, major problems are developing concerning the construction and management of a large-scaled system since there are not enough professionals who can see through the large, complicated system entirely. To stimulate to make more changes and to improve the power of our country to compete internationally under such condition, it is the most urgent task to train professionals who can see through the entire system and tackle research and development. That is our goal to train such talents.
Our division considers software, information communication network, production system, and human-machine system as four pillars and conduct educational researches to provide wide-ranged business solutions from production systems based on these four pillars to various business systems. Through those researches, we train professionals who can lead system development projects as well as who possess the basic academic ability which is accepted internationally and who analyze, design, construct, manage, and evaluate various production systems and business systems by making full use of new technologies of production and information /communication technologies.
