Introduction to Mechanics and Physical Mathematics

2 credits

Elective Required
Professor Tomonaga Okabe
In the modeling of classical mechanics, we often meet the appliedmathematics, such as differential geometry or manifolds theory.
These have been developed from the viewpoint of mathematicaluniversality and do not always provide new ideas directly. But, we
often need such a background to make the theoretical models.
Furthermore, symbols and calculations developed in these fields are
not commonly used by general engineering students or graduate
students of engineering, and this is considered to be an obstacle forlearning them. In this lecture, I am going to introduce thosemathematical expressions as simple as possible, so that the students
can employ the advanced mathematics in the general mechanicalengineering field. This course can also be considered as an
introduction to the tools of physical mathematics.

In the modeling of classical mechanics, we often meet the appliedmathematics, such as differential geometry or manifolds theory.
These have been developed from the viewpoint of mathematicaluniversality and do not always provide new ideas directly. But, we
often need such a background to make the theoretical models.
Furthermore, symbols and calculations developed in these fields are
not commonly used by general engineering students or graduate
students of engineering, and this is considered to be an obstacle forlearning them. In this lecture, I am going to introduce thosemathematical expressions as simple as possible, so that the students
can employ the advanced mathematics in the general mechanicalengineering field. This course can also be considered as an
introduction to the tools of physical mathematics.

discrete-time signals, discrete-time and discrete Fouriertransformations, sampling, digital frequency analysis, discrete-timesystems, z transformation, digital filtering, and some more advanced

In the modeling of classical mechanics, we often meet the appliedmathematics, such as differential geometry or manifolds theory.
These have been developed from the viewpoint of mathematicaluniversality and do not always provide new ideas directly. But, we
often need such a background to make the theoretical models.
Furthermore, symbols and calculations developed in these fields are
not commonly used by general engineering students or graduate
students of engineering, and this is considered to be an obstacle forlearning them. In this lecture, I am going to introduce thosemathematical expressions as simple as possible, so that the students
can employ the advanced mathematics in the general mechanicalengineering field. This course can also be considered as an
introduction to the tools of physical mathematics.

Associate Professor Toshinori KuwaharaThis lecture covers fundamentals of digital signal processing thatprovides a foundation for sensing, control, communication, voiceprocessing, image processing, and so forth. Related subjects include
discrete-time signals, discrete-time and discrete Fouriertransformations, sampling, digital frequency analysis, discrete-timesystems, z transformation, digital filtering, and some more advanced
topics.

In the modeling of classical mechanics, we often meet the appliedmathematics, such as differential geometry or manifolds theory.
These have been developed from the viewpoint of mathematicaluniversality and do not always provide new ideas directly. But, we
often need such a background to make the theoretical models.
Furthermore, symbols and calculations developed in these fields are
not commonly used by general engineering students or graduate
students of engineering, and this is considered to be an obstacle forlearning them. In this lecture, I am going to introduce thosemathematical expressions as simple as possible, so that the students
can employ the advanced mathematics in the general mechanicalengineering field. This course can also be considered as an
introduction to the tools of physical mathematics.

Solid-state physics (SSP) in the 20th century was dedicated to analyze

The purpose of this lecture is to provide an opportunity for students
as engineers to think about the future from a broad perspective.
Industrial development since the Industrial Revolution has been
accelerating day by day, and our daily lives are also undergoing rapidchanges. However, if we are blinded by such changes, we may lose
sight of the goal that science and technology should originally aim at:
the promotion of people's happiness. In this course, we will review theinterface between engineering and society in relation to life. This isbecause modern engineering has reached the realm of direct andindirect contact with “life”. When engineering is involved in fields
such as medicine and food, it is confronted with situations that
directly affect the life and death of humans and other livingorganisms. There is no small possibility that environmental problems
resulting from the massive consumption of materials and energy will
threaten the survival of our living organisms. To broadly consider
these issues, lecturers from various fields such as engineering,
medicine, and welfare will be invited to give lectures and holddiscussions. In addition, there will be opportunities for grouppresentations on issues related to research ethics and engineering
ethics.

Introduction to Semiconductor Device Physics

2 credits

2 credits

Solid-state physics (SSP) in the 20th century was dedicated to analyze
structures and functions of natural substances. Now in this 21st
century, the goal of SSP has shifted to designing and synthesizing newmaterials, from the atomic level, to try to demonstrate required
functions. Designing and synthesizing things to realize desired
functionality is nothing but engineering; SSP-based engineering
should be the mainstream in SSP in this century. Being focused onengineering, this class will proceed in a from-engineering-to-physics
manner, not from-physics-to-applications manner as they do in thefaculty of science. Another reason to take this order is to save time.
Engineers usually do not have enough time to master all the essentials
in SSP before going to specific topics. What is important here is to haveright images on basic concepts in SSP to use them as a tool tounderstand emerging technologies and elaborate them. Conceptual
understanding comes first before mathematical rigor. The class will
focus on several topics specially selected in terms of importance intoday’s electronics and electrical engineering, but is open to those thatform the physical basis of the research theme of the students. Students
are required to be strongly motivated in attending the class.

The purpose of this lecture is to provide an opportunity for students
as engineers to think about the future from a broad perspective.
Industrial development since the Industrial Revolution has been
accelerating day by day, and our daily lives are also undergoing rapidchanges. However, if we are blinded by such changes, we may lose
sight of the goal that science and technology should originally aim at:
the promotion of people's happiness. In this course, we will review theinterface between engineering and society in relation to life. This isbecause modern engineering has reached the realm of direct andindirect contact with “life”. When engineering is involved in fields
such as medicine and food, it is confronted with situations that
directly affect the life and death of humans and other livingorganisms. There is no small possibility that environmental problems
resulting from the massive consumption of materials and energy will
threaten the survival of our living organisms. To broadly consider
these issues, lecturers from various fields such as engineering,
medicine, and welfare will be invited to give lectures and holddiscussions. In addition, there will be opportunities for grouppresentations on issues related to research ethics and engineering
ethics.

Ethics of Engineering and Life

2 credits

Elective Required
Specially Appointed Assistant Professor Han Luo
The purpose of this lecture is to provide an opportunity for students asengineers to think about the future from a broad perspective. Industrial
development since the Industrial Revolution has been accelerating day
by day, and our daily lives are also undergoing rapid changes. However,
if we are blinded by such changes, we may lose sight of the goal thatscience and technology should originally aim at: the promotion ofpeople's happiness. In this course, we will review the interface between
engineering and society in relation to life. This is because modern
engineering has reached the realm of direct and indirect contact with“life”. When engineering is involved in fields such as medicine and food,
it is confronted with situations that directly affect the life and death ofhumans and other living organisms. There is no small possibility thatenvironmental problems resulting from the massive consumption ofmaterials and energy will threaten the survival of our living organisms.
To broadly consider these issues, lecturers from various fields such asengineering, medicine, and welfare will be invited to give lectures andhold discussions. In addition, there will be opportunities for grouppresentations on issues related to research ethics and engineering
ethics.

While the property of solid material originated from a volumetric property
covering the whole solid, the atomic coordination is unsaturated on thesurface of the solid, and the atomic arrangement is disturbed at the interface inthe solid. Since these disordered atomic arrangements have a great influenceon the physical properties of surfaces and interfaces, they form a discipline
called surface and surface science. The purpose of this lecture is tounderstand various surface and interface phenomena in industrially important
processes from the standpoint of basic physical properties. Specifically, in thefirst half, lectures will be given on the atomic arrangement of solid surfaces,
thermodynamics and chemical bonds between surfaces and interfaces, andsurface functions. In the second half, lectures will be given on analyticalmethods using ions for evaluating solid surfaces and thin film growth.

Most functions and properties of materials can be understood from the behaviors
of atoms and electrons in materials. Conversely, understanding the behaviors
of atoms and electrons realizes the theoretical design of the materials with highperformance and functions. Here, understanding the behavior of electrons
requires knowledge on the concept and method of quantum chemistry. Basics
of quantum chemistry is Schrödinger equation and molecular orbital theory
has grown and advanced on the basis of the Schrödinger equation. Solving
electronic states of materials by molecular orbital theory and computer realizes
the understanding and predicting of the functions and properties of materials.
In this class, 1) atomic orbital and molecular orbital, 2) molecular orbital
theory, 3) Hückel theory, and 4) band theory of solids are given for understanding
the basics of the quantum chemistry. Textbook: Atkins Physical Chemistry(1), Tokyo Kagaku Doujin.

The lecture will cover fatigue phenomena and fatigue strength of materials,
fracture mechanics and fracture toughness, and the basics of fatigue crack
initiation and propagation mechanisms, from the viewpoint of not only

parameters can be utilized to ensure the safety and reliability of structures.

Material properties strongly depend on the type and concentration oflattice defects in the material. Lattice defects are always introduced in acertain amount by synthesis or processing, and their type andconcentration change depending on the operating environment.
Therefore, knowledge and understanding of the types and concentrationsof lattice defects and their measurement methods are essential formaterial design to exploit the excellent properties of materials fully and tomaintain stable properties over the long term. In this lecture, the structure
and physical properties of point defects, line defects (dislocations), andplane defects in materials will be outlined, and the behavior of theselattice defects in materials and their effects on material properties will be

Most functions and properties of materials can be understood from the behaviors
of atoms and electrons in materials. Conversely, understanding the behaviors
of atoms and electrons realizes the theoretical design of the materials with highperformance and functions. Here, understanding the behavior of electrons
requires knowledge on the concept and method of quantum chemistry. Basics
of quantum chemistry is Schrödinger equation and molecular orbital theory
has grown and advanced on the basis of the Schrödinger equation. Solving
electronic states of materials by molecular orbital theory and computer realizes
the understanding and predicting of the functions and properties of materials.
In this class, 1) atomic orbital and molecular orbital, 2) molecular orbital
theory, 3) Hückel theory, and 4) band theory of solids are given for understanding
the basics of the quantum chemistry. Textbook: Atkins Physical Chemistry(1), Tokyo Kagaku Doujin.

The lecture will cover fatigue phenomena and fatigue strength of materials,
fracture mechanics and fracture toughness, and the basics of fatigue crack
initiation and propagation mechanisms, from the viewpoint of not only
understanding microscopic phenomena of materials, but also how
macroscopic deformation and fracture of materials are correlated withmicroscopic phenomena. The course will explain how these concepts can beapplied to materials engineering and how macroscopic fracture mechanics
parameters can be utilized to ensure the safety and reliability of structures.

Material properties strongly depend on the type and concentration oflattice defects in the material. Lattice defects are always introduced in acertain amount by synthesis or processing, and their type andconcentration change depending on the operating environment.
Therefore, knowledge and understanding of the types and concentrationsof lattice defects and their measurement methods are essential formaterial design to exploit the excellent properties of materials fully and tomaintain stable properties over the long term. In this lecture, the structure
and physical properties of point defects, line defects (dislocations), andplane defects in materials will be outlined, and the behavior of theselattice defects in materials and their effects on material properties will be

Turbulent diffusion strongly influences the wind environment in urban
areas, wind loading on structures, the thermal environment and air
quality in and around buildings. An introduction is given to CFD
simulations of airflow―related phenomena in and around buildings using
various turbulence models, namely standard and revised k-e models,ASM, DSM and LES. Canopy flow models for reproducing aerodynamic
effects of flow obstacles whose sizes are smaller than computational gridcell is also introduced. Emphasis is placed on the performance of thesemodels and the essentials of modelling techniques when they are applied
to complex flow fields related to the built environment. Furthermore, theway how the turbulent flow simulations can be utilized for environmental
design is also provided.

For the purpose of cultivating a variety of practical abilities, students
practice architectural design, structural design, equipment design andconstruction supervision at domestic, overseas companies and design
offices. Through this seminar, students are expected to experience andunderstand how to proceed with practical work and group work on
programing, planning, designing, construction, post-training etc.
Trainees submit training plans and training reports to training
institutions and academic advisors. One credit is accredited every 30
hours for training hours. Credits will be dealt with according to thetraining time. However, the upper limit is 10 credits.

11 Prevention of Accidents(1) Types and causes of accidents
Graduate studies involve sophisticated experiments.
A wide range of social activities can also be required.
There is a possibility of encountering various mishaps and accidents both inside and outside theuniversity, and it is necessary to know well what kind of accidents have occurred.
Carefully read the Safety Manual which includes preventative measures and actively participate in
the safety education offered by each major and department.

(a) Accidents during class or study Classes and studies often focus on uncharted territory.
Mishandling laboratory equipment and chemicals can result in serious physical damage, andcause explosions and fires that may injure you or other people.
Therefore, it is necessary to always prepare for every contingency and pay attention to safety.
(b) Accidents during extracurricular activities Actively engaging in extracurricular activities isimportant for character building.
Since our extracurricular activity facilities and practice areas are scattered throughout the city,
many students use motorcycles and cars for travel.
As a result, the number of traffic accidents is increasing as well as the number of accidents causedby playing sports.
In addition, incidents such as acute alcoholic poisoning caused by chugging continue to occur.
Even a prank can lead to serious consequences.
Never force other people to alcohol chugging.
(c) Accidents during commuting
In the Aobayama area, the city streets with heavy traffic and steep slopes, run through the campus,
which makes it easy for traffic accidents to occur.
In Sendai, roads are often partially frozen in winter and accidents due to snowfall occur. Snowmelting agents as a countermeasure may cause slipping accidents.
Especially in the Aobayama area, it is important to keep in mind that road conditions are bad in
winter.
(d) Accidents in personal life Other than the accidents described above, the number of various
troubles and incidents in personal life is also increasing with social diversification.
(2) Measures to prevent accidents
We respect students’ autonomy, and this requires a level of personal responsibility.
That is the spirit of "at your own risk".
Predicting danger and paying attention to accident prevention are the most basic things as anengineering student.
It is important to bear in mind the principle of responsibility for accidents, to pay attention to safety
in ordinary times, and to have the mindset to prevent accidents.
(a) Experiments
You must pay attention to what you wear for experiments.
Common sense about safety such as not exposing the skin or wearing clothes with unnecessary
decorations is necessary.
There was an accident in which the hem of a student’s clothes got caught in a machine.
In addition, you need to be careful when walking not to touch instruments and machines, and not
to knock over chemicals.
A single piece of glass equipment can cause serious injury.
If it ruptures or explodes, it can lead to serious injury or blindness.
Most accidents that caused eye injuries could have been prevented by wearing eye protection.
You need to always stay sharp.

(b) Traffic accidents
In recent traffic accidents, there have been many reports of victims, as well as those who areresponsible.
If you are liable, you will be held responsible as a member of society.
In some cases, academic staff of the school or your parents will be summoned.
You may end up causing trouble to many people.
Our university has restrictions on the use of private cars to commute to the campus and many
students use motorcycles or bicycles.
Traffic is particularly congested on the way to school.
Make sure to observe traffic regulations on the campus and pay close attention to safety.
When commuting to school by car during winter, be sure to use chains and winter tires due to snow
accumulation and icy roads.
Coming to the campus by motorcycle or bicycle in the snow may cause an accident and it should
be avoided. Be careful not to drive too fast, especially when it rains, or at intersections and corners.
The road surface may have turned icy even when it looks fine.
Regarding accidents and disasters, refer to the Safety Manual and Campus Life Guide.
If you are engaged in operating special equipment in your research, you should actively take related
safety seminars.
(3) Measures to be taken in the event of an accident
In the event of an accident during an experiment or research, it is important to immediately raise
your voice to draw the attention of people near you. Then you can get help from them and avoid
getting people around you involved in the accident. Even if the accident does not seem to be very
serious to you, let others know about it so that multiple people can decide what to do. Decisions
made by just yourself can often make the accident bigger and increase the risk caused by it. The
main principle in dealing with accidents is to keep away dangerous materials and secure an escaperoute. When the degree of the accident is not large and safety is confirmed, take any required action
such as firefighting. When it is confirmed that you can leave the accident site as a result of
measures taken, you should immediately contact academic staff or staff member, and ask forsubsequent measures. If there are people near you, divide the roles to take immediate action. You
can also ask them to get additional help.
If someone is injured by the accident, treat the patient following the points below:
a. Put the patient on the floor/ground to prevent the person from a falling over in shock.
If the face is flushed, slightly lower his/her head. If the person vomiting, turn the face sideways.
b. Make sure you do not overlook symptoms such as bleeding, burns, and fractures. Immediate
measures are necessary for major bleeding, respiratory arrest, and poisoning.
c. When it is necessary to remove their clothes, do not forcefully pull them off, but cut them away.
d. Try not move the patient and keep them warm.
e. Do not make an unconscious patient drink water or other beverages.
f. Do not let the patient see their injuries, encourage them, and keep the crowds away from the site.
If a person is injured, contact the Student Health Care Center. In case of an emergency, contact theemergency room of the Tohoku University Hospital and call the Student Health Care Center. If
you require treatment due to an accident that occurred during a class or research, you can receive
it at the Tohoku University Hospital at your department’s expense. Contact the Student Support
Section of the Academic Affairs Division, the School/Graduate School of Engineering to receivea certificate for treatment.
In the event of an accident, it is a general rule to ask for an academic staff’s instructions and ask
them to contact a fire station or hospital. However, if you cannot reach an academic staff, and if
you think it is a life-threatening situation, you should call 119 to get help. (Refer to page 451 of
the Accident Response Guidelines for the School/Graduate School of Engineering, Tohoku
University) In the event of a disaster such as an earthquake, inform your academic staff ordepartment office of your status. The university has the emergency contact network to confirm thesafety of students. Please check it by yourself.
The School/Graduate School of Engineering has collected cases of accidents and mishaps duringclasses or commuting to improve the safety of students, including near misses and accidents. Readthrough the Examples of Near Misses and Accidents in the Safety Manual. If you have such an
experience, report it to the office of your department.
There may be a variety of incidents, such as theft or other troubles, in addition to accidents.
You should use the Counseling Office in such cases.
(4) Emergency transport to Tohoku University Hospital
When a student at our university becomes a party of a traffic accident near each campus around
Sendai City, and needs to be sent to a hospital by ambulance, the Tohoku University Hospital
Emergency Center will take the patient on a preferential basis.
You should keep the following points in mind in case you need to be sent to the University Hospitalby ambulance:a. Carry your student ID to prove that you are a Tohoku University student in case you can’t express
your intention because of a serious accident.
b. If a friend from the university has a severe injury, ask paramedics to take them to the University
Hospital.
c. If there is no specific request for a specific hospital from the patient, ask paramedics to takethem to the University Hospital. Please note that you or the patient may not be taken to the
University Hospital depending on the condition of the injury or the level of urgency.
(5) Disaster compensation(a)Gakkensai (Personal Accident Insurance for Students Pursuing Education and Research),
Gakkenbai (Supplementary Personal Liability Insurance for Students),
inbound Futai-gakuso (Comprehensive Insurance for Students’ Lives Coupled with Gakkensai
for International Students) The School of Engineering requires all students to buy the
Gakkensai (Personal Accident Insurance for Students Pursuing Education and Research,
including coverage for commuting accidents), Gakkenbai (Supplementary Personal Liability
Insurance for Students), or inbound Futai-Gakuso (Comprehensive Insurance for Students’
Lives Coupled with Gakkensai for international students) to prepare for accidents duringcurricular classes, the commute to school, or activities both inside and outside the university.
What is Gakkensai (Personal Accident Insurance for Students Pursuing Education and Research)?
It covers accidents occurring during curricular activities, a university event, or extracurricular
activity (club activities); while staying in a university facility; or during school commute or whilemoving between university facilities.
[Reference] http://www.jees.or.jp/gakkensai/
What is Gakkenbai (Liability Insurance for Students Pursuing Education and Research)? *For
Japanese students It provides insurance coverage if a student becomes legally obligated to pay
damages due to injuring someone or damaging their property during curricular activities, school
events, extracurricular activities (note the definition of extracurricular activities; make sure you
check the website below), or while commuting to and from such activities.
[Reference] http://www.jees.or.jp/gakkensai/opt-baisho.html
What is inbound Futai-Gakuso (Comprehensive Insurance for Students’ Lives Coupled with
Gakkensai for International Students)?
*For international students This system provides insurance coverage for injuries, illness, or liability
for reparations occurring while you are staying and studying in Japan. You can buy this insurance
monthly, depending on how long you study in Japan. This insurance targets international students
who have the Gakkensai. If you have this insurance, you will not be required too the gakkennbai.
[Reference] http://www.jees.or.jp/gakkensai/inbound.html
You are required to have Gakkensai, Gakkenbai, and inbound Futai-Gakuso (for international
students) at the time of enrollment.
If you have not bought yet, please sign up immediately.
Transfer forms and pamphlets can also be found at the Student Support Section and the Support
Planning Section of the Student Support Section at Kawauchi-Kita Campus.
(b) Futai kaigaku (Study Abroad Insurance) It covers illness and injuries occurring during study abroadand during business trips for academic participation approved by Tohoku University.
You need to apply for this insurance at least one month before your departure. All students* whoare enrolled in the Gakkensai are eligible.
* You do not need this insurance if you already have overseas travel insurance designated by a travel
agency through the arrangement of your airplane ticket and accommodation, or if the destination
school (host institution) or overseas study program organizations designates overseas travel insurance.
[Reference] http://www.jees.or.jp/gakkensai/opt-kaigaku.html
If you decide to travel abroad, please be sure to read the following site
[Ancillary marine science (Tohoku University HP)
http://www.tohoku.ac.jp/japanese/studentinfo/studentlife/11/studentlife1101/], and apply from theapplication form (Google Form, university DC mail to log in) at least one month before studying
abroad.
* For applications that take less than one month to travel, please contact the support planning staff andcheck if the procedure is possible. In the unlikely event that you are unable to enroll in ancillarymarine science, please be sure to enroll in some kind of overseas travel insurance.

Please convert (* to @ and send an email)* Importance of Overseas Travel Insurance Many students go abroad to study or attend academic
conferences or international conferences. If you go to a hospital overseas due to illness or injury,
the medical cost can be very high. You may be charged for an ambulance. The cost may be extremely
high when your family members are called to the hospital or if you are transported to Japan bycharter airplane. The current social insurance policy in Japan provides coverage for medical
expenses overseas. Overseas medical expenses paid by social insurance are calculated based on thelevel of medical expenses incurred in Japan. In a country where medical expenses are much higher
than those in Japan, the difference must be paid out of the patient's own pocket which may raise theamount significantly. This makes enrolling in overseas travel insurance indispensable for overseas
travelers. Overseas travel insurance covers medical expenses paid by travelers for illness or injury.
You cannot anticipate when a sudden accident or illness will occur. Make sure you buy either the
Futai Kaigaku or other overseas travel insurance for unexpected problems.
[Note]
1. You are required to enroll in and pay the premium for overseas travel insurance including the Futai
Kaigaku by yourself, except for certain travel plans sponsored by the School/Graduate School ofEngineering for which insurance has already been enrolled by them.
2. The Gakkensai does not apply to diseases, and the coverage of the insurance for injuries is limited.
Overseas travelers are therefore required to separately enroll in overseas travel insurance including
the Futai Kaigaku.
3. Some overseas travel insurance, including insurance that comes with credit cards, does not cover
expensive medical treatment. Make sure you check the coverage content before you buy aninsurance.
4. In most cases, people with a chronic disease are not eligible for buying insurance, or if they can buy
insurance, they will not be compensated for the onset of the chronic disease. Some insurance,
however, covers chronic disease. We recommend you buy insurance that covers chronic disease.
5. Overseas travel insurance covers not only illnesses and injuries, but in most cases, death, residual
disability, and liability. Some insurance even covers damage to your personal effects. (Futai Kaigaku
covers personal effects.)(6) Accident examples Several dozen accidents involving students in the School/Graduate School ofEngineering are reported every year, and most of these are traffic accidents. They include manycases of motorcycle or cycle contact, collision, or falling over accidents, and some serious injuries
such as fractures and internal bleeding. Some students were detained by the police for drinking too
much at parties. You can drink, but do not get too drunk.

12 Unlawful Acts, Crime Prevention, Criminal Acts
The free atmosphere at the university often lets your guard down. Naturally, a free environment canbe sustained by everyone’s actions in a sensible manner. We ask you not to get involved in any of
the following crimes and keep your guard up so that you will not be taken advantage of.
(1) Unlawful acts and disciplinary action Never cheat in examinations. Any student who has cheatedin an examination will be subject to disciplinary action as stipulated in Article 38 of the Graduate
School General Rules (suspension, etc.), and all courses taken during the semester will be invalid.
Depending on the examination you take, you may be allowed to bring in textbooks and notebooks
or asked not to bring anything other than your writing materials.
It is important to understand the instructions of the academic staff for each examination. Students
who have committed unlawful acts such as violence, damage to properties, theft, or sexual
offenses other than during examinations will be subject to severe criminal punishment, and theuniversity will take severe disciplinary action such as suspension or expulsion. Students arestrongly encouraged to always have compassion for others, comply with laws and regulations, andact with common sense and responsibility.
(2) Crime prevention Motorcycles, bicycles, and money have been stolen on campus. In some cases,
motorcycles parked outside designated areas were stolen. Automobiles, motorcycles, and bicycles
must be parked in designated areas.
In addition, you should be very careful of your personal effects, especially cash and valuables, forthe purpose of crime prevention. Cases of theft where a student left a classroom or a laboratory
with their wallet carelessly left on their desk have been reported. The lost items may have beenreported to the Student Support Section of the Academic Affairs Division, the School/Graduate
School of Engineering, or the office of your department.
There was also an incident in which a student who was about to go home after dark was hit on thehead with a hammer from behind in a parking area. Unfortunately, it is not always safe on
campus. Make sure you are very careful not to suffer theft or incidents.
If by chance you witness such an incident, take necessary measures immediately such as calling adoctor or ambulance, and contact the office of your department or the Security Office (phone 7955840). Incidents such as drinking too much at parties ending up with hospitalization have occurred
outside the campus.
As a citizen, you must strictly refrain from causing trouble to others. There was a serious crime inwhich a student was arrested on suspicion of complicity in theft. A student was found using
another person's motorcycle without permission in the campus parking area. Both students wereseverely punished.
13 Harassment(1) University as a society
A university that aims for education and research is a society formed by students, academic staff,
and staff members. The personality of all individual comprising society must be respected inevery sense. Discriminatory acts based on age, sex, nationality, or mental and physical damage toothers must never be tolerated. Any university of good sense, however, needs to expect that a
tragic situation may be brought about by an illegal intruder or a member of the university.
(2) What is harassment?
Harassment covered by the university's harassment prevention measures means human rights
violations such as sexual harassment, educational harassment, and research harassment.
<Sexual harassment>
Human rights violations through sexual speech and behavior that makes others uncomfortable[Types of violations]Non-consensual sexual speech and behavior taking advantage of one's dominant bargaining position- Sexual speech and behavior that interferes with entering the University, or employment,
education, and research environments
Speech and behavior based on an unjust sexist assumption* Whether speech or behavior amounts to sexual harassment depends on how the recipient perceives
it, not how the perpetrator feels.
<Educational and research harassment>
Human rights violations through inappropriate remarks and actions taking advantage of one's
dominant bargaining position in education and research (so-called academic harassment andpower harassment)[Types of violations]- Obstruction of learning and research activities- Obstruction of graduation or promotion- Infringement of the right of choice- Exploitation of research results- Abandonment of the obligation of guidance and discrimination in guidance- Compulsion of unjust economic burdens- Mental abuse- Violence- Slander- Coercion of guidance under inappropriate circumstances- Abuse of power- Invasion of privacy- Power harassment in the workplace(3) If you feel you have been harassed:
If you feel you have been harassed, you should take courage and clearly express your feelings to theperpetrator. Letting them know how you feel may lead to a solution.
You can also consult with a person you trust, or the Harassment Counseling Center. The University
provides the Harassment Counseling Center on and off campus (sexual harassment only off campus).
The consultants will protect your privacy and consult with you according to your intention. You will
not suffer any repercussions because of such a consultation. Putting up with it and worrying about
it by yourself does not solve the problem. Courage and action are the first steps towards a solution.

If someone around, you are victimized by harassment:
If someone around you is victimized by harassment, give a helping hand to the person. It is also
necessary to actively cooperate with them, such as giving the perpetrator a warning and taking thevictim to the Harassment Counseling Center. There may be victims around you who cannot tellanyone and suffers alone. When you notice harassment, do not become a bystander but help thevictim.
(4) Harassment Counseling Center
To deal with harassment cases on campus, we provide the Harassment Counseling Center as shown
below:To Prevent and Resolve Harassment brochure
http://c.tohoku.ac.jp/homucomp/harassment/
Confidentiality of consultation contents is strictly protected. Feel safe and consult as soon as possible.
You will not suffer any repercussions because of such a consultation.

15 Tohoku University Komei-kai and the Aoba Kogyo-kai
As noted in Komei-kai's rules, this group comprises students in the Graduate School of Engineering,
the School of Engineering, the Graduate School of Information Science, the Graduate School of
Biomedical Engineering and the Graduate School of Environmental Studies as well as special
members and aims to promote friendship among its members and improve student life.
Members of the club are selected from each major and work under two sections: General Affairs andSports.
The Athletic Meet organized by the sports division is well-known all over the university as an annual
fixture.
It is the role of new members of the Komei-kai both to follow and enhance the group's traditions andto add new projects.

Komei-kai hopes that full advantage will be taken of the organization to help you and your fellow
students enjoy a rich and fulfilling campus life.
(See Tohoku university Komei-kai Regulations)(2) Aoba Kogyo-kai
Komei-kai started out in the very early days of the Graduate School of Engineering as anorganization embracing both staff and students across the entire school.
Three divisions were set up to handle sports, recreation and journal publication.
The sports division used the Komei-kai fund to create a track for the Graduate School ofEngineering.
The recreation division succeeded in the developing friendship within the school using the Komeikai meeting hall as its base.
The journal publication division began the annual Komei-kai Journal in the year that the school was
founded, preparing a friendly joint space for all graduates, students and teaching staff and bringing
them news and views.
When reform of the educational system saw Sendai Kogyo Senmon gakko (SKK; Sendai College ofEngineering)absorbed into the Graduate School of Engineering, the relationship between the SKK
While there were some twists and turns along the way, in the end all SKK students studying
engineering in Sendai were absorbed into the Graduate School of Engineering within therevamped Tohoku university, and it was consequently decided to establish a joint alumni
association based on the bonds of friendship between the two schools, which had enjoyed aparticularly close relationship since the Meiji period.
On 1 December 1956, more than 250 area representatives from Hokkaido, Tohoku, Kanto,
Hokuriku, Chubu, Kinki, Kyushu and elsewhere joined Sendai locals at the Tohoku university
Hall for the inaugural meeting, with the new organization launched as the Aoba Kogyo-kai.
The Aoba Kogyo-kai has accordingly emerged as one of the largest and strongest organizations of
its type in Japan and is expected to continue to make great strides into the future.
(See Aoba Kogyo-kai Regulations, Regulations on fee for Aoba Kogyo-kai Regular Members andStudent Members and Aoba Kogyo-kai Branch Office General Rules).
