6 Technology Course Programs in Japan

Learn how to map out the possible futures of technology! Foresee how technology will shape the world around us. Gain practical skills in strategic future-casting, while learning how to communicate and think critically about technology and our future together.

We often hear about the relevance and importance of AI in our lives, but often these discussions are centered either around the negative and dystopian topics of surveillance or the hyper positive Silicon Valley views of how this will solve everything. In this class we will look instead at the middle, and how we take a new humanistic approach to this technology by exploring new interactions that can make a positive impact in our lives.

The department provides a wide variety of subjects including electrical and electronic engineering, control, communications, materials, computers, measurements, and energy engineering. The department offers energy and electronics courses. Each course is carefully structured to ensure that all students acquire the use of up-to-date techniques.

Computational neuroscience has a rich history going back to the original Hodgkin-Huxley model of the action potential and the work of Wilfrid Rall on cable theory and passive dendrites. More recently networks consisting of simple integrate-and-fire neurons have become popular. Nowadays standard simulator software exists to apply these modeling methods, which can then be used to interpret and predict experimental findings. This course introduces some standard modeling methods with an emphasis on simulation of single neurons and synapses and an introduction to integrate-and-fire networks. Each theoretical topic is linked to one or more seminal papers that will be discussed in class. A number of simple exercises using the NEURON simulator will demonstrate single neuron and synapse modeling.

Through advanced application and specialized subjects of mechanical design, system control, electronic properties, and information, this course fosters talented individuals who can play an active part in the field of production and information.

This course aims to develop human resources that can play an active part in the mechanical and electrical energy field through more advanced and applicable education of highly specialized subjects related to the energy sector.
