BA/BS in Mechanical Engineering Course

The Mechanical Engineering course (工学系機械コース) introduces the foundations of making things by combining mechanics, electronic circuits and programming. Its distinctive feature is a robot that each student builds, either individually or as part of a group, during the course. Assignments become more demanding each year, and skills are developed through competition-style challenges. Learning is organised around concrete objects, so theory is connected directly with construction and testing. Students combine mechanical design, circuit work and software to make machines behave as intended. The approach aims to build a versatile set of engineering abilities rather than knowledge of one discipline. The course suits students who enjoy hands-on problem solving and want to design and build machines. Faculty members and laboratories are listed on the engineering student website.
