Master’s Program

With an aim to foster human resources who can serve the advancement of Mechanical Engineering and associated fields and contribute to developing human society and conserving the global environment, the Mechanical Engineering Division (Master’s Program) sets standards for the skills and knowledge students should acquire before graduation as described below: Those who fulfill the requirements and pass their thesis defense shall be deemed to have acquired these qualities and will be awarded a diploma.

 

1.  The ability to multidimensionally identify how technology can impact human society and the global environment,
   acquired by studying a wide range of disciplines, including natural science disciplines beyond one’s disciplinary
   specialty or interdisciplinary fields covering the social sciences
2. The ability to acquire expertise that enables one to play an active role at the forefront of Mechanical Engineering and associated fields as well as to develop new technologies and explore new fields
3. A level of English proficiency that enables high performance in society and accommodates further developments
   in globalization
4. The ability to write academically structured papers through one’s original research with good understanding of preceding research done in and related to one’s field

Doctoral Program

With an aim to foster human resources who have acquired high expertise in Mechanical Engineering as well as the interdisciplinary competence to comprehensively understand the associated impacts on human society and the global environment, and can thus conduct research and development independently in their field of expertise, the Mechanical Engineering Division (Doctoral Program) sets standards for the skills and knowledge students should acquire before graduation as described below: Those who fulfill the requirements and pass their thesis defense shall be deemed to have acquired these qualities and will be awarded a diploma.

 

1. The ability to multidimensionally identify how technology can affect human society and the global environment, acquired by studying not only one’s disciplinary
2. The ability to acquire expertise that enables one to independently play an active role at the forefront of Mechanical Engineering and associated fields as well as to creatively conduct research and development that will contribute to human evolution an wellbeing
3. A level of English proficiency that enables one to stand on the forefront of globalization and independently lead international society
4. The ability to independently conduct original research by utilizing one’s highly specialized expertise, write academic papers of an international level, and contribute to the academic field

Curriculum Policy

Master’s Program

The Mechanical Engineering Division (Master’s Program) seeks to cultivate the ability to contribute to the further development of Mechanical Engineering and associated disciplines, as well as to the development of human society and global environment conservation, by having students take courses in Mechanical Engineering and other divisions and receive research guidance.

 

1. Students will take courses in divisions other than Mechanical Engineering as well as general science and engineering courses to acquire broad knowledge of disciplines other than their disciplinary specialty
2. Students will take courses offered by the Mechanical Engineering Division, including those associated with Mechanics of Materials, Mechanics of Machinery, Thermal Engineering, Fluid Mechanics, Precision Engineering, Control Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Physics and Mathematics, to acquire expertise in these disciplines. Furthermore, they will conduct research on a specific theme; and therefore acquire profound professional knowledge of their theme in a broad context and learn about research procedures, organization and ethics.
3. Students will improve their English proficiency by taking English for Science and Technology and English-taught courses, presenting research outcomes in English, and writing academic papers in English.

Doctoral Program

The Mechanical Engineering Division (Doctoral Program) seeks to cultivate the ability to independently conduct research and development based on high expertise in Mechanical Engineering and broad knowledge of associated fields, by having students take Seminars and receive research guidance

 

1. Students will read academic papers and commentaries in interdisciplinary fields other than Mechanical Engineering to acquire broad knowledge of these disciplines
2. Students will conduct intensive research supported by research guidance provided by faculty; and therefore acquire profound expertise of their theme in a broad context, learn about research procedures, organization and ethics, and submit their dissertation as a culmination of their research
3. Students will present their research outcomes in Japan and overseas in English, compile and submit academic papers in English, and conduct research at overseas institutions as required; and therefore, they will actively improve their communication skills
