Mechanical Engineering
Striving towards the ultimate in machine manufacture
It is a whole new challenge to invent cutting-edge machine such as a micro machine and a humanoid robot, and it requires the fundamental knowledge acquired in the undergraduate school.
In the Mechanical Engineering Course of the Graduate School of Engineering, our students study the dynamics, measuring engineering, control engineering, environmental science and energy systems of cutting-edge materials, structures, vibrations, heat and fluids through experiments in our top-level research facilities and analysis using our high-performance computers. In this way, we are nurturing skilled researchers able to design and develop machines at an unprecedented level.
Aerospace and Marine System Engineering
To the sea, the sky, the universe – the will to explore knows no limits.
The extreme environmental conditions prevalent in the ocean, the sky and outer space are severe obstacles. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and integrate a high level of knowledge on the particular environment and fundamental knowledge acquired in the undergraduate school in order to challenge the issue. In the Aerospace and Marine System Engineering Course, our research activities, which involve experiments using cutting-edge equipment and calculations with high-performance computers, are helping to nurture a generation of human resources able to design the next generation of machines and systems for manufacturing technology and for the protection of the oceans, the sky and outer space. The frontier spirit knows no limits.
Electronics Mathematics and Physics
The birth of a “new science” incorporating theory and practice
Nowadays, all electronic items from household appliances to industrial machinery are fitted with integrated circuits. The development of existing knowledge is not sufficient for the ultra-miniature, ultra-fast devices necessary for a variety of industrial activities and our 21st century lifestyle, and therefore there is a need to actively develop new fields such as nanoscience. Fundamental knowledge acquired in the undergraduate school must be expanded, and in addition to this a whole new range of specialized education is needed.
The course of Electronics Mathematics and Physics strives to nurture a generation of human resources who are able to acquire and develop fundamental knowledge in electronic engineering, mathematics and physics, and then learn how to apply this knowledge.Furthermore, we will develop researchers who can contribute to nanoscience and other new scientific disciplines by encouraging them to participate in advanced research activities.
Electrical Engineering and Information Science
A fusion of hardware and software – for the society of the future
Our aim is to nurture human resources able to systematically understand and implement the design, planning and running of systems encompassing everything from hardware and software electronics, information and communication through to manufacture. Our graduates will be able to take responsibility for this intelligent network society through their research, which places great importance on harmony with the natural environment and network technology.
Materials Science and Engineering
The unsung heroes of modern civilization – materials and chemistry
Without a doubt, materials support our modern civilization, whether it be airplanes, living matter, computers or nanomaterials. Study in the Materials Science and Engineering Course starts from an analysis of a wide range of materials, such as organic compounds, ceramics, semi-conductors and metals etc, to the level of the molecule and atom, then the materials’ electrical, optical, chemical and mechanical properties are evaluated, and the materials are studied at the micro level. This is the exploration of a world invisible to the naked eye.
Material covered in the undergraduate school is brought to a global cutting-edge level so that students may take their first steps as researchers. Students are encouraged to take part in international conferences to exchange opinions with colleagues from around the world, in order to deepen their own knowledge and produce results which are beneficial to mankind.
Quantum and Radiation Engineering
Quantum and Radiation Engineering – the key for science and technology, manufacture, medicine, food industry, environmental.
The research field of the Division of Quantum and Radiation Engineering is the interdisciplinary frontier science and technology using ionizing radiation and characteristic beams such as ion beams and lasers, leading the advanced industry, medicine and nuclear engineering. We provide students with the basic and practical education using large-scale radiation and accelerator facilities in our university. They can study the advanced science and technology in research and development along with radiation safety management to become the member of the international community.
