Key Features of the Department of Mechanical Engineering

With an eye on the boundless future of mechanical engineering and the needs of society, the Department of Mechanical Engineering offers a unique educational program centered on three key pillars: “Nano-Micro Technology,” “Space and Earth Environmental Science,” and “Life Mechanics.” Our curriculum and elite faculty cater to students’ curiosity and spirit of inquiry, providing an education that fosters the full development of each individual’s unique character and greatly expanding their prospects for self-realization.

With an emphasis on practical experience, fundamentals, individuality, and communication skills, the Department of Mechanical Engineering develops students’ ability to understand the mechanical systems that form the foundation of mechanical engineering, while also equipping them with the skills to perform comprehensive analysis of phenomena, creative design and manufacturing, grounded in engineering ethics and taking the global environment and society into account. As such, it cultivates professionals who can excel in various fields related to the SDGs—such as new materials, healthcare, and energy—by applying knowledge of mechanics, thermodynamics, and energy, along with innovative thinking and design methodologies.

We aim to equip the engineers and researchers of the future with the ability to combine the fundamentals of mechanics with free thinking. The curriculum at the Department of Mechanical Engineering includes the “Fundamentals of Mechanics” course, which teaches the core principles of mechanics, as well as practical and hands-on courses that equip students with the means to realize their individual dreams and ideas. This approach cultivates individuals with strong foundational skills, a spirit of inquiry, and creativity.

Students will acquire a solid foundation in mechanics.

Fundamentals of Materials Science, Fundamentals of Mechanics, Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics, Fundamentals of Thermodynamics

Students gain hands-on experience in hardware planning, design, and manufacturing.

Graphic Information Processing, Representation of Shape Information, Production Engineering

Each student develops their creativity by independently proposing and undertaking their own research project.

Mechanical Engineering Creative Seminar

Most major field courses in the third year are elective, allowing students to pursue studies across a wide range of fields in line with their various interests.

In the midst of a rapidly changing global and social environment, students will learn what values and ethical principles the professional engineers of the future should uphold.

Creativity and Ethics

Students develop the ability to solve unknown challenges through their own unique research.
