Department of Mechanical Engineering

The course of Aerospace and Environmental Engineering has general basic studies including: mechanics of materials , fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and mechanical dynamics. In addition to there subjects, students study special subjects concerning aerospace engineering and environmental engineering fields with high demand in the industry in recent years, such as space engineering, aeronautical engineering, physics of turbulence, multiphase flow, environment fluid technology, thermal energy, etc. Furthermore, students learn topics concerning the designing and manufacturing of large machines such as aircrafts, rockets, and air conditioners as well as environmental sustainability and purification equipment studies through practical subjects like mechanical engineering experiments, design and drawing, and graduation research. The purpose of the course of Aerospace and Environmental Engineering is to contribute to foster mechanical engineers who can apply and extend the skills of mechanical engineering to various other fields and industries by utilizing aerospace and environmental studies concepts.

The course of Intelligent and Processing and Materials Engineering provides knowledge and skills in the design and manufacture of robots used in various fields such as industry and daily life support, and in the design and processing of lightweight and high-strength advanced materials that constitute various mechanical systems such as automobiles, motorcycles, and other transportation machinery. In addition to the basic subjects of mechanical engineering, students in this course study transportation equipment, robotics, control engineering, measurement engineering, information engineering, mechanical behavior of materials, advanced and composite material studies, elastic-plastic analysis, machining, etc. The purpose of the course of Intelligent Processing and Material Engineering is the development of human resources who can support local industry and leading-edge technology of Japan in the fields of intelligent processing and material technology.

The course of Electromechanical Systems (the course of Opto-Electronics and Precision Engineering) provides an interdisciplinary education based on electronic engineering, optical engineering and precision engineering as well as mechanical engineering. Our research addresses fundamental issues related to mechatronics, MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical system), photonics, micro/nano-science, multi-physics, man-machine interface, and wave electronics. Our interdisciplinary curriculum is crafted to produce graduates who have:
 

• an excellent broad-based education in scientific and engineering fundamentals necessary for "Intellectual Creation";
• an aggressive spirit to develop new academic fields;
• an ability to view the various stages of creation comprehensively
