Summary

The Department of Mechanical System Engineering consists of three courses: Mechanical Science and Engineering, Mechanical Production Engineering and System Design Engineering. Machanical Science and Engineering covers such subjects as numerical mechanics, transfer and control of thermal energy, digital measurement, biomechanics, lasers and optics, quantum engineering and space science. Mechanical Production Engineering includes tribology, new, material, ultraprecision machining and ultra-fine processing technology System Design Engineering is concerned with mechatronics, controls, information machine and CAD.
In our department, centering on the technical field of mechanical and precision engineering, our research and education activities are involved in new material, nanoscale technology, and mechatronics which combines electrics and information engineering as well as welfare engineering.
Our department aims at educating students towards imaginative and integrative power of various disciplines, an ability to set and solve problems creatively and work internationally. Also we aim to develop discerning and original students with a wide application ability etc. in order to cope with the recent rapid development and highly advanced science and technology.
Our department has attracted students from a number of universities in Japan and has had many overseas students. Our graduates are leading powers in various industry fields.
