With a firm background in the mathematical and physical sciences, mechanical engineers involve themselves in the conversion of energy from one form to another, and the design and manufacturing of the devices through which this conversion takes place. Analysis, design, production and marketing are common activities of mechanical engineers. Mechanical engineers are found in companies manufacturing various kinds of consumer goods including automobiles, chemicals and electronic equipment, just to name but a few.The curriculum of our department provides instruction in two fields of mechanical engineering; mechanical design and manufacturing systems. |

Mechanical engineering, which is the basis of industrial technology, has been expanding its scope and is becoming more interdisciplinary. Modern mechanical engineering requires not only knowledge of mechanical technologies but also well-trained skills for its application. The faculty raises originality of students in order to produce mechanical engineers who will play active roles in tomorrow's industrial society. In addition to its duties related to instruction and research, the faculty serves as an adviser to students in the preparation of academic programs. We are proud that the curriculum, including liberal arts education, is well-organized. It provides instruction in the two fields of mechanical engineering (mechanical design and manufacturing systems), covering from fundamental subjects to advanced topics. Particularly in the core subjects of mechanical engineering, all members of the faculty are responsible for instructing students in small group education. Furthermore, to learn how to apply knowledge gained through lecture courses to practical fields, students have intensive exercises, experimentation, design and drawing, and machine shop practices as core subjects. Introductory education to mechanical engineering is conducted in the freshman year and basic engineering subjects are in the sophomore and junior year. To complete the program of mechanical engineering, the research works are conducted through extensive laboratory research in the senior year. In addition to teaching, the faculty conducts researches in engineering materials, automatic control, flow of liquids and combustion technology. |
