Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering spans a full spectrum of modem technology, ,covering the design, production, improvement, operation, maintenance, etc. of machinery and equipment. The undergraduate curriculum of the Department is designed to give students a solid academic foundation in the area of mechanical engineering during their second and third years through intensive learning of basic mechanics, such as thermo mechanics, fluid mechanics, mechanics of materials and mechanics of machinery, as well as the basics of instrumentation technology, control engineering, electric engineering, electronic engineering, etc., thereby preparing them for more advanced programs on applied mechanical engineering provided mainly to students in the third and fourth years, such as those on heat transfer , combustion, hydraulic fluid engineering, gas dynamics, elasticity, solid mechanics, computational dynamics and tribology. The aim of the undergraduate curriculum of the Department is to produce mechanical engineers with a strong working knowledge of basic and practical mechanical engineering.
The Department also offers quality postgraduate programs that provide students with opportunities to develop advanced expertise in mechanical engineering through schooling on frontier disciplines. In addition ,the master's course in mechanical engineering includes a special two-year research assignment program, in which students conduct intensive research on cutting-edge topics in mechanical engineering. The purpose of these postgraduate programs (schooling and research programs) is to produce mechanical engineers who are equipped not only with advanced expertise in mechanical engineering but also with creativity.

Production Systems Engineering
Learn the production processes of the 21st centuryモ is the catch phrase of the Department of Production Systems Engineering, which provides a wide range of research and education opportunities in the field of production engineering. At the moment, the world of production is faced with the growing diversity, complexity and globalization of production processes. In response to these ongoing changes, the Department provides educational and research programs that integrate the three major areas of production engineering,
namely Systems Engineering (design, control and maintenance of production systems), Mechanical Engineering (design and manufacturing of engineering products) and Material Engineering (design, development, manufacturing and evaluation of engineering materials), with the aim of delivering the next generation of leading engineers who can make comprehensive judgments from a broad point of view.
Major research themes of the Department include: moving image recognition and measurement based on signal processing; design, control and scheduling of systems using computer technologies; control of conveyance systems using innovative control technologies; humanoid robots; production of a variety of functional membranes and junctions using spraying technologies; nanoscale precision machining; a variety of production and processing methods using numerical simulation technologies; material warranty technologies based on the evaluation of fracture characteristics; material production technologies including material recycling technologies; improvement of material characteristics and development of functional materials using surface enhancement technologies; and medical and health care goods material technologies based on biocompatibility. Vigorous research activities of the Department are
attracting considerable attention from a wide array of disciplines.

Electrical and Electronic Engineering
The aim of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering is to develop young engineers who can be the next generation of leaders in this field through the provision of quality courses both in electronic engineering (electronic, optical, and magnetic material, semiconductor devices, integrated circuits, etc.) and electrical engineering (electric materials, electric power generation, electric power control, electric applications, etc.).
The undergraduate curriculum of the Department starts with programs on the basics of physicality, energy and circuit design, which are designed to provide a sound academic foundation both for electronic and electrical engineering, in addition to programs on computer hardware and software. After this, students register for specialized courses on subjects of their choice.
At the same time, the undergraduate curriculum is designed so that students can complete the degrees required to be licensed as a Type One Electrical Chief Engineer. Moreover, students in the fourth year are given opportunities to further develop their problem- solving skills through conducting research on a theme of their choice under the individual guidance in the research laboratory to which they have been attached, in addition to the internship program carried out during the third semester.
As a result of the recent development and advancement of electrical and electronic engineering technologies, engineers working at the frontier of the field are increasingly required to have advanced expertise and outstanding R & D skills. In response to this, the postgraduate curriculum (master's course) of the Department provides students with high quality educational and research programs in which they can learn cutting-edge, advanced electrical and electronic engineering theories and technologies.

Information and Computer Sciences
Information science, which is an area of study that has gone through a dramatic growth hand in hand with the rapid progress of computers, forms the foundation of today's information-oriented society. The department of Information and Computer Science provides students with quality education and research opportunities with the aim of establishing new fields of engineering science in computation, information processing, and communication.
Based on this principle, the undergraduate curriculum of the Department starts with well-balanced programs on basic knowledge of computer software and hardware, which prepare students for their later studies in specialized courses. In addition, the "Project Experiment" (information science experiment program), which is offered to students in the third year during the third semester, provides students with opportunities to master basic specialist techniques in information engineering through studying their themes of interest in cooperation with team members. Moreover, students in the fourth year learn practical techniques in information and computer engineering in a systematic manner through teamwork in the "Big Experiment" program, which is held during the first semester, do their BS thesis work in their research laboratories in the "Special Experiment" program during the second semester, and complete their
internship training in industry during the third semester.
In principle, the Department provides its undergraduate course and masters course as one continuous curriculum. The aim of its postgraduate courses is not only to deliver leading-edge theories and techniques in various fields of information and computer sciences to students but also to develop creative leaders through quality research programs.
