Mechanical Engineering
The mission of Advanced Course of Mechanical Engineering is to train leading engineers with high abilities. Researches and education are made actively on fundamental and applied subjects and their integration so that new functions and structures of machinery can be developed. This course is organized into three divisions : Mechanical Systems, Synthesis and Control, Energy Conversion Engineering, and Production Systems and Materials for Machinery. The staff members are working principally on the evaluation and the reliability design of material strength and dynamic properties of solids and structures, the creation of new materials, adaptive control and human-interfaces, and the elucidation and the management of thermofluid phenomena. Graduate programs are composed of applied subjects corresponding to undergraduate fundamentalones and of advanced subjects concerned with up-to-date topics.
