Features

Mechanical engineering plays an important role in manufacturing. Students can acquire the basic knowledge and ideas of mechanical engineering as well as skills that can be applied apply in the real world. Students mainly study mechanical dynamics, mechanics of materials, fluid dynamics and thermodynamics. Furthermore, we aim at integrated manufacturing and the development of technologies requiring even more enhanced specialization. Therefore we educate and research in three fields; aerospace, biotechnology and robotics, and system design. We foster engineers and researchers who can play an active role in industrial fields and experts who can support a variety of regional industries and contribute to recovery.
