_<\/span>The students of the department are expected to study how to design and manufacturing a wide variety of machines and products efficiently and accurately. The department affords the
\nstudents the basic subjects such as strength of materials and processing, thermal and fluid theories, mechanism and so on. In addition, the students are required to master practical skills and application of theory to practice as well
\nas technical knowledge through experiments, workshop practice, and mechanical drawing.
\n_<\/span>As automation increases in industry, the content of mechanical engineering is becoming to have a closer relationship with the fields of electrical, electronic and information engineering. In order to keep abreast with such situation, the department provides such subjects as information processing and CAD on a basis of the machine related subjects mentioned above. Thereby it will become possible to improve the efficiency of data processing and analysis in experiments, and design and drawing. Furthermore, it provides basic subjects relating to electricity, control and information such as microcomputer control and mechatronics so that students can acquire a broad range of knowledge.
\n_<\/span>The students are cultivated to become competent engineers with creativity, synthetic judgment and application through mutual contacts with teachers and classmates making graduation researches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
