BA/BS in Mechanical Engineering

The Department of Mechanical Engineering trains engineers who can identify problems, solve them, and explain their solutions clearly to others. Its curriculum rests on mechanics and design science, beginning with the fundamentals of dynamics, materials and processing before students move into specialist fields. Logical reasoning in Japanese is strengthened alongside international communication skills. Learning is hands-on. Students carry out experiments, practical training, factory visits and graduation research, developing creativity, development ability and technical sense. Laboratories cover internal combustion engines, vehicle safety, solid mechanics, fluid engineering, advanced materials and surface processing, and students may join one in an area of interest. Graduates work across a wide range of industries, and the department's laboratories are well regarded by employers in the wider industrial sector.
