System control, used to measure, analyze, and control various phenomena, is essential in many areas in modern society including in industry. In the Department of Systems and Control Engineering we develop the fundamental ability for modeling, analyzing, developing, and designing systems that are crucial for future nation-building such as highly functional robots, next-generation vehicles, and clean energy.

In the Master's Program, students develop the ability to objectively analyze everything — concrete and abstract — in nature and society as a system, and to create systems of value based on this knowledge. In other words, we develop individuals equipped with advanced knowledge in measurement, control, design, and system science, together with innovativeness, creativity, and executive ability to boldly apply this knowledge to new problems and tasks.

The curriculum in the Graduate Major in Systems and Control Engineering develops (1) specialized mathematical scientific academic ability for modeling and computerizing, and analyzing real systems, (2) specialized mathematical scientific academic ability for creating and controlling real systems of new value, (3) ability to apply acquired specialized knowledge, (4) ability to accurately understand social problems, and establish and resolve tasks, and (5) ability to communicate and give presentations based on logical thinking. In order to achieve this, we have designed an educational program where the following five courses are organically arranged; Mathematics, Information, Measurement Control and Modeling, Real System Design, and Project Practice. This curriculum develops individuals who acquire forward-looking knowledge for measurement, control, design, and system science, who have adaptable inventiveness, creativity, and the ability to boldly apply this to new tasks.
