The Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Tokyo dates back to 1873, when Professor Airton was invited from England to establish the Department of Telegraphy in the Engineering Dormitory of the Ministry of Industry. As the first department of electrical engineering in the world's first university, the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science has been pursuing the academic system of electrical engineering and electronic information engineering for more than 140 years, and has been contributing top-level research results and human resources to society.
In the corridor on the first floor of the Engineering Building No.3 of the University of Tokyo, the latest information and research outlines of all laboratories are introduced on posters under the name of "Electrical Corridor". Every year during the May Festival, we have held an event to introduce posters and tour laboratories for students who wish to enter graduate school in the electrical field. However, due to coronavirus infection prevention measures, it was decided to cancel the May Festival and the laboratory introduction event this year.
Therefore, we would like to introduce the research activities of our 100 staff members in the electrical engineering field on the "Electrical Corridor" website, which is organized into 10 fields.
From telegraph poles to generators, from how they are made to how they are used (electric power and control), from telegraph telephones to information transmission and processing methods (communication and information), and the circuit elements that control them (electronic devices and systems), the field of electricity is in charge of building an academic system that is rooted in the many technological issues that modern society needs. As a result, you will realize that many advanced science and technology are based on electricity. Let's explore the fascination of electricity together as students of the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Tokyo.
Creating a new culture of life with media technology
Computers are not an impediment to humanity. If technology evolves more, we can create an information society that enriches people's minds. What we are thinking about is a free and flexible methodology to achieve this.
