Overview
The Master’s Program of Information Science provides students with a well-balanced acquisition of advanced knowledge and skills in the field of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). In addition to lectures and exercises, students engage in cutting-edge research activities within their assigned laboratories under close supervision by faculty members, through which they develop practical abilities for identifying and solving real-world problems.
This program aims to cultivate research engineers who possess the following five competencies and can conduct research and development autonomously in their specialized fields, both domestically and internationally:
(1) engineering design capability,
(2) specialized knowledge and applied skills,
(3) communication skills,
(4) learning habits and information collection and analysis skills, and
(5) professional knowledge and ethics as research engineers.
Students may also choose to enroll in the Interaction Design Course. In the project-based exercises offered in this course, students form teams with peers from different disciplines such as design studies. Through activities including field observation and needs discovery, ideation methods, and digital fabrication as a prototyping technique, students experience the creation of realistic and innovative solutions and new social frameworks for given themes.
Educational Program
Education and research with an emphasis on Information Science
To achieve the educational objectives of the program, the curriculum is organized according to the following principles:
- A solid foundation is established, including fundamental theories, to enable students to respond to future technological advancements.
- To acquire specialized, up-to-date, and cutting-edge knowledge, education is provided by leveraging the distinctive research strengths of the faculty members.
- Through research activities such as the Special Research Project, students engage in research aimed at acquiring the competencies stated in the Diploma Policy at a high level.
Lecture courses are offered in the first and third quarters, while the second and fourth quarters are structured to allow students to pursue internships or short-term study abroad programs, with the goal of further enhancing the abilities listed in the Diploma Policy.
