    feature

    Even after entering society, students will continue to collaborate with colleagues in different fields. In order to connect their technology to real social value, students will hone their communication skills and logical thinking abilities as engineers. Students will also learn reading comprehension to gain new knowledge and writing skills to output. These skills will be further improved through numerous practical training and graduation theses.

COURSE INTRODUCTION

Pursue expertise through a curriculum divided into seven courses starting from the first year

We aim to develop systems engineering that combines software (cyberspace) based on information technology such as AI with hardware (physical space) based on mechanical engineering, transportation mechanical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, and information engineering.
Taking advantage of the know-how cultivated in traditional Faculty of Engineering, including industrial machinery, aerospace, welfare, bio-machinery, automobiles, railways and other mobile machinery, semiconductors, electrical equipment, and information devices, the school offers core subjects in information technology, including programming, AI, and control, which were previously taught in individual departments.
We aim to develop talented people who understand how cyber technology (software) is used, functions, and controlled in physical space (hardware), and how it operates, and who can continue to contribute to a society that continues to evolve in the future.
The Department of Faculty of Systems Engineering places emphasis on specialization, and students are divided into seven courses starting from their first year.

STUDENT'S VOICEVoices

  • Mr. Kiyohiro Yano

    Learning what I want to do in the field of electricity that I love
    Now that I've found my path in the future, I'm excited!

    He has studied four fields: electrical engineering, electronics engineering, information engineering, and communication engineering. When he first enrolled, he was a Department of Mechanical Engineering student, but he took the transfer exam to join Professor Iwata's laboratory in the Department of Department of Electronics,Information and Communication Engineering.
    Now a fourth-year student, I am studying in my chosen laboratory, where I am in-depth research on the electrification of aircraft.
    I feel so fulfilled to have found the subject I want to study that I am considering transferring schools.

    I would like to utilize my knowledge and skills in power electronics, the power conversion technology required to run home appliances and motors.
    That's what I wanted, so I was really happy when I was offered a job at a company that handles railway equipment construction. I will work hard at the various training sessions after joining the company, and I want to be at the forefront as an engineer who supports railway safety.

    In junior high school, I made a motor car in class. I never forgot how much fun it was, so I looked for a university department related to electricity. I was attracted to Osaka Sangyo University because I could learn about a wide range of electrical engineering subjects, and the fact that it was convenient to commute to school was also a deciding factor.

  • Ryota Mibu

    I decided to go to university because I wanted to learn more about railways.
    Now I'm enjoying learning about a wide range of transportation machinery!

    I am studying the mechanisms of machinery and other aspects of railways and automobiles in a comprehensive manner. Since specialized railway subjects begin in my third year, I am looking forward to taking the "Railway Engineering Fieldwork" course, which also includes a tour of a railway vehicle factory. Outside of class, I am active as the head of the Railway Research Club. My days are full of activities, planning events with my peers and holding meetings with organizers outside the university.

    In the future, I would like to gain experience in manufacturing and maintaining railway vehicles and contribute to maintaining safe railway operations. Since I used the local railway every day during my high school years, I would like to gain knowledge and skills that will allow me to give back, even if only a little. The number of members in the Railway Research Club has increased, so I would like to try new events that we have never done before.

    I came across Osaka Sangyo University while searching for a university where I could specialize in railways. It has the only "Railway Engineering Course" in Japan, a long history and track record that began as a railway school, and the impression I got from the open campus made me think "this is the place for me!" and decided to go to school.
