Field of Mechanical Engineering
Educational Aims
Mechanical Engineering Field ( a field in Smart Mechanics Course ): to train students to be engineers who have enough ability of mainly mechanical engineering, in which how to create energy, information, mechanical materials, in short Monozukuri, are to be learned.
Field of Mechanical Engineering
This field attaches importance to theories of mechanical engineering, experiments and practice, in order to train students to be able to take active parts in various fields of industry as engineers. This is to meet the needs of many companies that want engineers with broad knowledge and skills. For example, the ability of creative design or machine drawing, which are essential for designers, is supported by the knowledge of Engineering Mechanics, Strength of Materials, Mechanical Dynamics, Thermodynamics, Fluid Machinery and Mechanical Materials, and the work for production technology needs the one of Manufacturing Processes and Production Engineering. And these knowledge and skills are acquired through many experiences of three-and-half-year processing practices. In addition, this field is developing up-to-date classes, such as CAD, CAM, CAE and the manufacturing by a 3D printer. Furthermore, the first foreign teacher was employed in this field in view of the situation of many graduates dispatching to the Southeast Asian countries as engineers.
This school has a higher proportion of experiments or graduation research, like colleges. Through these classes, the ability of analysis, consideration, creativity and presentation skills are cultivated. Every teacher holds a doctorate in engineering. And the facilities and research tasks are as advanced as the ones of colleges, such as material analysis using a scanning electron microscope, seismic performance evaluation with a vibration control device, study of environmental impact by small engine bench system, examination of rapid heating method using a rectangular waveguide microwave heating device, the laser visualization system that can measure the atmospheric flow produced by a turbulence wind tunnel, study to measure biomedical information like a disease or a physical condition using optical technology, study of optimization algorithm aiming to find the best proportion of energy, and experiments with students in mechanical properties of the table tennis racket blade as sports engineering study. Thus, the field of study in mechanical engineering covers a very wide range.
As for qualification, students can take some national licenses while in college. And the graduates play active parts in a large field of both domestic and foreign industry. In addition, there are a number of graduates transfer into college every year.
