Department of Mechanical Engineering

  It is needless to say that Mechanical Engineering is a fundamental field of engineering, supporting the activities of industries at any age and any place. However, together with the recent remarkable development of computers, electronics and its applied technologies, mechanical industries have been abruptly oriented to information, reduction of labor, and automation concerns. Today, industries are required to make products having a high value reasonably and effectively while using less energy, by developing and applying highly functional materials. Furthermore, Mechanical Engineering is expected to contribute to aging and welfare community issues in order to make our lives more comfortable.
  To meet the above needs, this department provides education and study related to the following wide variety of  subjects by combining the former mechanical engineering, electronics-information technology, and bioengineering. The subjects covered by the department are automation and the high reliability of design and production systems, the development of optimum control technology for human-mechanical systems, the development of technologies for transport, conversion and application of thermal and fluid energy, the development of new engineering materials and their evaluation and manufacturing methods, new aspects of micro-engineering based on quantum mechanics and atomic physics, as well as assistive technology for the disabled, and sports engineering. Thus, the department aims at training researchers and engineers who contribute to the human society.
