Welcome Message

Since the invention of power generators and light bulbs in the 19th century, electricity has rapidly revolutionized human life in less than 200 years. During this period, human race has not only gained the ability to control the environment using light and air conditioning, but also acquired a storable and practical power source, and developed tools for long-distance communication such as the telephone and wireless transmission.
In recent decades, the field of electricity has expanded into electronics and information communication, achieving remarkable progress. For example, advanced computational processing using electrical signals on micro-fabricated integrated circuits has enabled various types of computers and the internet, and has facilitated advanced intelligent technologies in various fields through the implementation of machine learning and artificial intelligence.
Advancements in high-efficiency motors and batteries promote the development of electric vehicles, contributing to environmentally friendly transportation. Furthermore, electricity is also utilized to generate light and ultra-high-frequency signals, opening the door to ultra-high precision measurements that go beyond previous limitations. Research and development in the fields of electrical engineering, electronics, and information communication paves the way for the future and is expected to transform human life over the coming decades, building the foundation for society in the 22nd century.
The Department of Electrical Engineering, Electronics, and Information Engineering at the School of Engineering, Nagoya University, as well as the Departments of Electrical Engineering, Electronics, and Information and Communication Engineering at the Graduate School of Engineering, Nagoya University, comprehensively covers a wide range of fields related to electricity, including energy, devices, electronics, computers, and communication, all of which support modern life.
The research laboratories conducting advanced studies in these fields are categorized into three areas: electrical engineering, electronics, and information and communication engineering. Undergraduate students in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Electronics, and Information Engineering, as well as graduate students in the Departments of Electrical Engineering, Electronics, and Information and Communication Engineering, can choose their preferred laboratory when entering their fourth year or graduate school. In addition, undergraduate students may also join related laboratories in the Graduate School of Informatics.
