School of Engineering and DesignCurriculum of Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical engineering creating future in accordance with our society
What is Mechanical Engineering?
Mechanical engineering plays a key role among the academic disciplines in our efforts to transition toward a decarbonized society and the realization of the SDGs by supporting and developing advanced energy technologies. With the rapid advancement of technology, mechanical engineering has become evermore complex, encompassing multiple scales, multiphysics, and multi-disciplinary problems ranging from the atomic to the global level, necessitating new methodologies to solve these challenges. Our curriculum aims to address these issues through fundamental academic disciplines based on traditional and computational mechanics, such as computational simulations, a field which has seen rapid advancement in recent years. The goal is to establish a new academic methodology called design science that incorporates the creation of artificial objects.
Curriculum
In the Curriculum of Mechanical Engineering, we focus on fundamental academic disciplines such as the dynamics of machinery, solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, and thermodynamics. The curriculum also includes a wide range of advanced mechanical engineering fields, such as measurement and control engineering, materials science, design science, precision engineering, bioengineering, nano and micro engineering, aerospace engineering, and computational engineering. Through Graduate Research 1 and 2, students learn about methodologies and related knowledge to address various issues in mechanical engineering, fostering their autonomy in research. This curriculum aims to cultivate individuals with extensive specialized knowledge in mechanical engineering who can solve cross-disciplinary problems on their own.

School of Engineering and DesignCurriculum of System Design Engineering
Creating and designing systems
Our Beliefs
The System Design Engineering curriculum is founded on the core principle of fostering a new generation of experts capable of designing and realizing complex and diverse systems that will support the future society. By integrating fundamental engineering fields and adopting an interdisciplinary approach that transcends traditional boundaries, it aims to address challenges facing our communities. We place key emphasis on understanding systems not as isolated entities but as interconnected components within a comprehensive “whole,” fostering a holistic perspective necessary for addressing real-world issues. Through active incorporation of industry-academia collaboration and international joint research, the curriculum strives to balance theory with practical application. Furthermore, the curriculum promotes the design philosophy of “human-centered system design,” focusing on cultivating flexible and creative design skills that respond to societal and user needs. By doing so, it seeks to contribute to the societal implementation of technology and to nurture leaders capable of building a sustainable future world.
Curriculum
The Curriculum of System Design Engineering emphasizes a practical and interdisciplinary approach aimed at driving next-generation technological innovation and addressing societal challenges. The program includes special lectures on the latest research trends and real-world case studies of technological implementation, as well as hands-on research based on domestic and international projects. This structure allows students to learn with a balance between theory and practical application. We especially emphasize that design is not just about considering the technical aspects of a system, but also the social impact and significance of the human beings who lay at the center of them. Courses are structured to prioritize feedback and evaluation through research presentations, enabling students to objectively assess their research outcomes and carry forward the lessons learned to their next challenges. Through this process, the curriculum aims to cultivate individuals with multifaceted perspectives and the practical skills necessary for building complex social systems.
