・Main Laboratory Equipment for Department of Mechanical Engineering

The objectives of the Department of Mechanical Engineering are to train mechanical engineers who can deal with industries of various kinds, with ambition to contribute to the progress of society as well as to achieve their own dreams. Students in the lower grades are required to pursue fundamental education related to machinery, although students in the upper grades study specialized subjects to obtain new technology such as information processing, robot control, and computer aided design (CAD). We also offer many creative subjects to foster students’ ability to think for themselves. Our consecutive curriculum from the 4th year through the advanced course meets the international standard. It is also accredited by the Japan Accreditation Board for Engineering Education (JABEE).
