Computer Fundamentals and Teacher-Education Requirements

The requirement for Computer Fundamentals differs by academic year and campus. The 2026 Saitama Hatoyama curriculum treats it as one of two alternatives, while the 2025 Tokyo Senju licensure requirements include it among the courses that must be completed.

2025: Saitama Hatoyama Campus

Under teacher-education code 20500, Computer Fundamentals is listed among the courses assigned to the Information System Design field. The same list includes Basic Information Processing Technology, Computer Design, Numerical Analysis, and Computer Programming I and its practical work. The supplied information identifies the course as part of this list but does not state that Computer Fundamentals itself must be completed.

2026: Saitama Hatoyama Campus

For the Computer category under teacher-education code 20500, Computer Programming I and Computer Fundamentals are alternatives: one of these two courses must be completed. The other listed courses are Information Mathematics I, Algorithms and Data Structures I, Computer Graphics, Basic Information Processing Technology, Computer Design, Numerical Analysis, and C Programming I and its practical work.

2025: Tokyo Senju Campus

For the Faculty of Advanced Science and Technology, the courses identified as containing general comprehensive content must be completed to obtain the teaching license. Computer Fundamentals is one of these courses, together with Information Society and Intellectual Property Rights, Information Ethics, Information and Occupations, Operating Systems, Comprehensive Mechatronics Experiment A, and Basic Mechatronics Experiment A. This teaching-license requirement is separate from each course's classification for graduation requirements.
