BA/BS in Mechanical Engineering

The Department of Mechanical Engineering teaches the core principles of mechanical engineering that underpin industries such as automotive, aerospace, railways, steel, machine tools and robotics. Students build practical manufacturing skills alongside strong technical knowledge, with the aim of becoming engineers who can contribute immediately to industry. The department aims to develop mechanical engineers who can meet challenges in environmental protection, efficient energy use and advanced information technology, and who can create new technologies for society. Third-year students work in teams of three to design and build small machines and robots over a full year, then verify their functions. The Tokai region has many companies that make use of mechanical engineering skills, and many graduates work in them, while others continue to graduate school.
