●Data Science●Information Systems Design24http://www.math.shimane-u.ac.jp/The aim of the department is to provide our students with the knowledge and skills of data science and computer science. The education program consists of two majors: Information systems design and data science. The informa-tion systems design includes basics in computer science and software engineering along with practical exercises. The data science includes statistics and machine learning. https://www.cis.shimane-u.ac.jp/ includes optimization theory, statistics, dynamical systems, and mathematical biology. The Department of Information Science was established in 1989. After several reorganizations, our department reached its present state in 2018. Information and computer science/engineering are indispensable parts of a wide range of human activities in society. The next stage of the society is said to be a data driven society. Data science is the founda-tion of such society.The department offers education and research related to the areas of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and electronic engineering. Students study a wide range of basic theories related to the areas of this department during their first two years. They then select one of two undergraduate ●Mechanical Engineering●Electrical and Electronic Engineeringcourses: Mechanical Engineering Course and Electrical and Electronic Engineering Course.These courses include a sub-curriculum, related to computer literacy and programming, which utilizes a comprehensive computer system for educational purposes.The department aims to nurture graduates who have prepared for professional engineering in either mechanical engineering or electrical and electronic engineering, with fundamental knowledge in both of the two fields.http://www.ecs.shimane-u.ac.jp/We conduct education and research in the fields of (1) archi-tectural planning; (2) building structure; and (3) architectural environment. Students acquire comprehensive knowledge in these fields during their first two years. At the end of their second year, students can choose to follow one of the following two courses: (A) Building Structure/Environmental Engineering or (B) Architectural Planning and Design. In the first semester of their third year, students decide the field in which they want to major. The graduation research theme will be decided at the beginning of their fourth year. Students’ expertise is enhanced under supervisor instruction.Through such an education and research program, we aim to acquire highly professional skills and develop human resources who can create forward-thinking architectural spaces for a new era with the keywords of “safe and comfort-able,” “succession and development of regional culture,” and “sustainability."http://kenchiku-seisan.jp/●Building Structure / Environmental Engineering●Architectural Planning and DesignDepartment of Information Systems Design and Data ScienceDepartment of Mechanical, Electrical and Electronic EngineeringDepartment of Architectural Design
