Division of Design and Media Technology

In the Division of Design and Media Technology, we aim to create safe, comfortable spaces and products and environmentally-friendly digital content, connecting people, things, and information more comfortably, using varied design thinking and high-level media technologies that support design thinking, based on the needs of a society seeking spiritual enrichment. Our goal is to foster talented personnel who have the creativity to produce advanced designs and the high-level media system skills to contribute to the realization of those designs, and who can create cutting-edge digital content and basic media technology with an international viewpoint and awareness of problem-solving in their locality.

We provide high-level education and research on “design” related to “product and content” design, “media” linked to the basic technology of “computer graphics, computer vision and sensing technologies,” and a combination of these fields. We aim to foster highly specialized engineers and researchers who (1) understand the interlinked fields of design and media, (2) have an awareness of problem-solving in their locality alongside an international viewpoint, (3) and have the capacity to actively carry out research and development in a variety of fields within design and media, based on our program in which the students develop the ability to explore and solve problems by touching on a variety of issues, including those in their locality. Students who complete this course receive a degree in either Engineering or Design.

本専攻では、<プロダクトおよびコンテンツ>のデザインに関わる「デザイン工学」と、その基盤技術である<コンピュータグラフィックス、コンピュータビジョンおよびセンシング技術>などの「メディア工学」、およびその融合分野に関わる高度な教育研究を行い、「デザイン工学」と「メディア工学」の相互の分野を理解し、高度な専門的知識や技能と、地域課題等の様々な課題に触れながら、課題探索・解決能力を修得させることにより、国際的な視野を持ちつつ地域への課題解決意識を持ち、デザイン・メディア工学の多様な分野で活躍できる研究・開発能力を備えた高度専門技術者や研究者の育成を目指しています。本専攻修了生は、工学か芸術工学のいずれかの学位を取得できます。

Design Area

In the Design Area we use varied design thinking and high-level media technologies that support design thinking. We aim to foster highly specialized engineers and researchers in the field of design – designers who have the creativity to realize advanced design, can create next-generation content that will build an earth-friendly environment and cultural living space, and have an understanding of media technologies that can contribute to the overseas development of products made with traditional techniques and enhance the appeal of tourist attractions, in order to satisfy expectations towards local creation using a variety of traditional materials from the area. We carry out high-level research and education in the field of design, in the areas of product design and content design, or a combination of these.

Media Technology Area

In the Media Technology Area, we are building a people-friendly environment and cultural living space with high-level media technologies that more comfortably link people, things, and information in this information society. We aim to foster highly specialized engineers and researchers in the field of media technology – media technicians who have design knowledge that can contribute to the worldwide development of traditional handcrafts and enhance the appeal of tourist attractions, in order to respond to expectations towards local creation using a variety of traditional materials from the area. We carry out high-level research and education in the field of engineering, in the areas of computer graphics, computer vision, and sensing, or a combination of these.
