Producing engineers capable of managing
businesses by making use of information and system technology
Industrial and Systems Engineering -
Supporting the Computerization of Industry and Society
In recent years, advanced control systems that utilize information
technology have enabled industry to provide high-quality products
and services that satisfy customers. Those systems fully employ
scientific techniques and technologies that are created in the
field of industrial and systems engineering (management engineering).
Industrial and systems engineering is a set of scientific techniques
that is designed for rational management (operation, control).
It helps business to plan, produce, ship, sell, and recycle
their products, information, or services by making use of information
system technology. Because of that, industrial and systems engineering
needs systems that integrate various kinds of technology; engineering
technology necessary to create hardware; technology related
to "environment" factors; technology that controls
"human" factors; technology that controls "social"
factors such as laws and accounting. Industrial and systems
engineering is also responsible for operating such systems optimally.
Learning industrial and systems engineering
in small groups
In this department, students learn a variety of management (operation,
control) technologies that utilizes information system technology.
In the second year, they choose one of the two courses, "Information
and Environment Course" and "Business and Production
Course," and study about more specialized technology in
a systematic way.
Our curriculum emphasizes the acquisition of information technology
from the first year onward. Students learn thoroughly about
network systems, C language programming, database systems, system
design and other subjects in small group seminars. From the
second year on, students take classes in five different areas
of system technology, such as business management, production,
information, environment and humanity. In this way, towards
the end of the four years, they will be equipped with solid
knowledge in advanced system technology and be able to operate
and design the most suitable systems for business management
and operation by employing information technology they have
learned in the four years.
Information and Environment Course
Based on information technology and system technology, students
are expected to learn techniques for developing more advanced
information systems and network systems, and for designing and
operating human- and environment-related systems.
Business Management and Production Course
Taking full advantage of information technology and system technology,
students will learn techniques for designing and operating systems
which will make new ways of production possible, as well as
excellent business management that can keep up with rapidly-changing
needs. |
