Mechanical Engineering

The Department of Mechanical Engineering provides education and research programs in the fields of: Properties and strength of materials, structural design, equipment design and control, manufacturing engineering, various phenomena related to heat and fluids, energy utilization technology, clarification of various engineering phenomena, computer utilization technology in mechanical design, and various system construction techniques.

In this department, we aim to develop engineers who can proactively apply the knowledge necessary for pursuing the advancement of the mechanical engineering field using undergraduate studies in mechanical engineering as a basis. A wide range of education and research in the fields listed above is conducted in three different courses.

Educational Goals (Philosophy) and Prospective Students

Our educational goal is to develop global-minded people with leadership capabilities who can analyze machinery with insight and from a comprehensive perspective. We develop people with advanced and expert practical skills that allow them to actively develop the new technology necessary for constructing machines and mechanical systems in a diversified social environment. Prospective students should fully understand these educational goals and possess the basic academic ability to acquire further expertise through research and study.

Curriculum

In addition to the required“Mechanical Engineering Seminar,”we also provide basic and comprehensive“Advanced Courses in Mechanical Engineering”so that students can gain a comprehensive understanding of the entirety of the coursework. Required and elective courses are classified into: the Production Engineering Course, the Energy Engineering Course, and the Mechanical System Engineering Course. Students are required to obtain more than 6 credits from each course.

Upon matriculation, students create a study program after consultation with their academic advisors, and then decide which classes to take from required and elective classes. Students take these classes in order to become engineers with appropriate ethical values.
