Program Overview
Shibaura Institute of Technology offers research internship opportunities for Computer Engineering (CPE) students across three research laboratories. Students can explore research topics related to human-computer interaction, data science, artificial intelligence, image processing, and human-centered design. Applicants should propose their field of interest and research topic. The host professor will review the proposal to determine whether it aligns with the laboratory’s research focus before accepting the student.
