_The mechatronics technology, which is the amalgamation of electronic, mechanical, and computer technologies, is a precise and complex technology that symbolises highlevel technologies. It is very widely applied to production facilities, transportation, construction, medical treatment, agriculture and fishery as well as to life-associated products like home appliances and automobiles. Our department was established in 1990 to respond to such development of the mechatronics and to cultivate practical engineers who would be involved in a wide range of technological fi elds created by the unifi cation of electronic, mechanical, information processing (computer application), and controlling technologies.
_At our department, students systematically master subjects like control engineering, electronic instrumentation, and control by microcomputers, which are needed to develop and design automatic machineries represented by the robot, in addition to mastering such basic subjects as electric and electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, programming languages, information engineering and so on. Furthermore, the department conducts individual instructions for the graduation research, aiming at improving students’ comprehensive abilities for applications. We also cultivate their abilities to succeed in the nationwide tests, for example, Information Processor’s Test, Test of Practical English and others.
