New technologies that transcend the boundaries of disciplines such as mechanical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, physics, chemistry, mathematics, and information are emerging one after another. In such an age, the ability to achieve unprecedented approaches based on cross-disciplinary knowledge through the fusion of science and engineering is required so as to maximize the functions of goods and systems and to solve problems as they arise. The Department of Engineering and Applied Sciences explores creation—including the creation of new functions based on the new discovery of physical phenomena and their possible applications to support humans and the environment—as its foundation. Through integrated studies of science such as physics and mathematics, and engineering such as materials, electronics, energy, and mechanical systems, the department fosters talented individuals capable of achieving harmony between industrial technology and natural science.
The vehicle can remain afloat without falling when a bulk superconductor that does not pass magnetic field lines is placed between electromagnets on the ceiling and the iron rails of the track. Many students have conducted research based on this principle with its original ideas, and some of them have obtained patents while still at school.
Using numeric analysis based on physics and mathematics, we can predict the site and degree of the damage by calculating the movement and deformation of a body during an accident. The program provides not only knowledge on mechanical engineering but also on a wide range of other fields including medicine.
Using knowledge of physics, we explore the behavior of the substances that filled the universe immediately after the Big Bang. Students learn numerical calculation techniques as they simulate trillions of substances on computer in experiments.
After completing the general studies on basic science and technology in the first year, second-year students begin conducting experiments and studying courses from the Faculty of Science and Technology Common Subject Group related to their specialties such as physics, mechanical engineering, and electrical/electronic engineering. During the second semester of their second year, students will choose the specialties from three courses, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and Physics, based on the academic system (1–3). Students can also expand their interests and expertise from three themes (Group A–C): Creation and Use of Energy, Understanding Matter and Creating Materials and Devices, and Creating Manufacturing Systems. In their third year, students will study specialized education along with advanced exercises and experiments, and those who wish can take Research Trial to experience research activities one year earlier. In the fourth year, students will conduct graduation research on their own themes.

*For further information on the courses, please refer to the Syllabus.
Students will gain understanding of the performance and characteristics of engines, gas turbines, compressors, etc. as well as the process of thermal energy conversion into power and the parameters on energy efficiency.
This course covers systems consisting of power plants, transmission facilities, substations, distribution facilities, and consumers, and teaches the concepts of control, economy, and reliability for the stable use of electric energy.
Students will learn the fundamentals of low-temperature physics and deepen their understanding of transport phenomena and superconductivity under low-temperature environments. Students will also acquire knowledge of superconducting materials and engineering applications for next-generation energy.
The course provides basic knowledge on the analysis and suppression of robot motion, especially robot kinematics and trajectory planning, and robot attitude control and trajectory tracking control.
Optoelectronics, such as LEDs and solar cells, are now indispensable technologies for society. In the lectures, students will learn about the system structure and operating principles, as well as the physical phenomena of optical devices and their component technologies, and their social roles.
Students learn the fundamentals of electronic devices and material properties by focusing on phenomena caused by the macroscopic number of individual atoms and molecules that make up matter.
Curatorial Courses are also available.
To foster students’ ability to create entirely new values and functions by acquiring knowledge of materials, devices, energy, machinery, and systems, through an in-depth understanding of physics and mathematics.
To nurture human resource who can, with a flexible mindset, apply and develop a wide range of knowledge and solid expertise acquired, so that they can contribute to solving various scientific and technological problems.
The Department of Engineering and Applied Sciences, aims to foster human resources with solid fundamental knowledge of science and technology who can contribute to the acquisition of new physical values and the development of ingenious technologies. With a view to this aim, the department sets standards for the skills and knowledge students should acquire before graduation as described below. Those who have fulfilled the requirements and have passed the thesis defense will be awarded a diploma.
The Department of Engineering and Applied Sciences aims to foster the ability to contribute to society by acquiring “combined intelligence”, which is an integration of academic disciplines, such as “mechanical engineering”, “electrical and electronics engineering”, and “physics”, and key themes, including “energy creation and use”, “understanding substances and creating materials and devices”, and “manufacturing and system building”. In light of this and in accordance with the diploma policy, the Department constructs its curriculum with courses aligned with the following purposes.
The Department of Engineering and Applied Sciences seeks students with a strong educational background, comprising an appreciation of culture and extensive knowledge as well as solid expertise, who are able to contribute to solving various problems in science and technology by flexibly integrating their knowledge and expertise:
