Department of Mechanical Systems Engineering (established before the department reorganization in April 2019)

Department of Department of Mechanical Systems Engineering Diploma Policy

1. Students must have acquired basic academic ability in the natural sciences, with a focus on mathematics and physics, appropriate for graduates of an engineering faculty.
2. Students will have acquired basic knowledge of mechanical engineering in general, and will then go on to acquire knowledge in more specialized fields such as the Aerospace Energy Course and the Vehicle Control Robot Course.
3. Students will acquire the ability (intellectual curiosity, insight, imagination) to independently plan, conduct experiments and analyses, and consider and discuss a given research topic. As a culmination of this, students will be able to write a graduation thesis that contains research content that brings new knowledge about cutting-edge technology in mechanical engineering and the science and engineering that underpins it.
4. To become an engineer who can collaborate with people from various fields in the international community, students must have acquired the necessary communication skills (language skills) as well as the education, sense and understanding of society, culture, ethics, etc.

Curriculum Policy of the Department of Department of Mechanical Systems Engineering

In the Department of Department of Mechanical Systems Engineering, first-year students are divided into two classes from the time of enrollment, and classes are held in small groups. In practical design and drafting, four classes are used to provide thorough instruction, and there are also student experiments conducted in small groups of around 10 students, and courses in which students work on assignments in small groups. From the second semester of the second year, the above two classes are reorganized into two specialized education courses, the Aerospace Energy Course and the Vehicle Control Robot Course, and lectures are held on the theme of each course. Students are free to choose from courses other than the 12 required specialized courses (experiments, exercises, design and drafting, programming, graduation thesis, etc.).
The Department of Department of Mechanical Systems Engineering has over 30 highly unique laboratories, and students can choose a laboratory that best suits their individual interests for their graduation thesis research. This, combined with the above-mentioned curriculum structure, allows for the education of students with a very broad perspective.
