The department of Mechanical Engineering was established in 1921, one of the oldest departments in the University.
It produces many leading engineers in mechanical enginnering.
The department has four divisions:Heat Transfer and Fluid Engineering, Materials Physics and Mechanics, System Design, and Innovative Materials and Nano Engineering.
Research programs are offered in 11 fields.
Towards realization of sustainable society, complex phenomena with heat and mass transfer in fluid systems in human body, energy systems including power and refrigerating systems, natural environment, and so on, are being investigated theoretically, experimentally, and numerically.
The mission of this division is to promote research and education of mechanical and physical properties of materials through analytical, numerical, and experimental evaluation of structures and machine components. Formation of advanced materials is also studied in this division.
The mission of this division is to establish engineering solutions required for developing active but sustainable next generation social systems from the viewpoints of system design. Towards this goal, we conduct education and research on system analysis and design, intelligent robots, advanced devices, and next- generation manufacturing technologies that cover a wide range of phenomena at micro and macro levels.
The mission of this division is to develop novel and advanced functional mechanical systems for a sustainable next generation society from a viewpoint of nano/micro to macro scale levels; for example, developments of body implantable mechanical systems, wearable sensors for health monitoring.
