The five years of consistent general education courses and engineering studies provide the students with theories, expert knowledge, and rich experimental technology in addition to strengths of application, development and creativity so that the students will be active in the future as richly creative, and practical engineers.
Mechanical engineering includes materials and structures, motion and vibration, energy and flux, information and measurement control, which are involved at some stage during the design and manufacture of various industrial and commercial products. In addition to the basic theories and expert knowledge for mechanical engineering, students gain a wide range of knowledge for computer technology related to mechatronics and robotics. Furthermore, they also acquire cutting-edge design and processing technology using CAD/CAM.
Students can become electrical or electronic engineers who will play an active part in fields such as social infrastructure (e.g., electric power plants and railways), design and manufacturing of various electrical appliances and electronic devices (e.g., digital home appliances and smartphones), machines, chemicals, food and ICT. The department is accredited for the Second-Class Electrical Chief Engineer Certification.
Students acquire knowledge from the software engineering field: programming, computer architecture, networks and operating systems (OS), the hardware engineering field: electromagnetics, electrical circuits, electronic circuits and devices, and the fusion engineering field: control theory and technologies of microcomputer, FPGAs and deep learning.
The department has two courses: the “Applied Chemistry Course”, related to industrial chemistry and the “Biochemistry Course” , based on biotechnology. Students in both courses acquire knowledge and technologies on fine chemicals such as medicines and cosmetics, plastics, environmental preservation and so on, from learning the latest chemical theories and biotechnology.
The Department's progress in developing new materials results in valuable devices, from daily necessities such as smartphones, TVs and air conditioners, to next-generation transportation such as vehicles, trains, aircraft and rockets. Students acquire knowledge and technologies for the processing and use of materials to become pioneers in the fields of Industry, Energy, Information, Communication, and the Environment.
The Advanced Course is designed for students to enhance research and development capabilities, comprehensive decision-making skills, including inquiry tasks, problem-solving skills, engineering ethics, and English communication skills, while acquiring high-level expert knowledge and technologies to take a central role in technological innovation.
This course consists of three majors: the Environmental and Resources Engineering Course, the Energy and Functional Innovation Course, and the Robotics Technology Course. Furthermore, a special program, “Global Engineer Program,” is incorporated in the advanced course. This program is to develop human resources of engineers with high technological skills as well as globally acknowledged leadership.
