Primary energy sources including fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum and natural gas, as well as nuclear power andnatural energy are used to operate the electrical devices, automobiles and suchlike that we depend on, and the form of
the energy is changed until it eventually becomes heat. The energy-conversion technology which transforms one sort ofenergy into another is vitally important for effectively utilizing limited energy resources to establish a sustainable society.
Our research group studies and develops environment-friendly energy-conversion technologies and networks.

Our research group studies the engineering theory and technology necessary for expanding the frontiers of space.
Utilizing theories of combustion mechanism, improvement in performance of new materials, use of plasma, andphysical phenomena at extremely low temperatures, we conduct applied research in advanced engineering technologies
such as the development of next-generation aircraft and rocket engines, small-scale satellites, atmospheric re-entry
craft, thermal control devices, planetary exploration rovers, experiments on board the ISS, and so on. This work is donewith the collaboration of neighboring research institutes, such as JAXA and AIST. Our wide-ranging interests are always
energetically seeking new interdisciplinary research ﬁelds such as preserving the Earth's environment, medicaltechnology in space, and space art.

Prof. Hideaki Monji, Program Leader of Engineering Mechanics and Energy

To potential students in Engineering Mechanics and Energy
Our research group studies durability evaluation technology and advanced simulation technology for structures andmaterials in mechanical engineering ﬁelds. We develop solutions on micro and macro scales using experimental,theoretical and numerical simulation methods. We have research programs on (1) high-temperature durability
evaluation technology for polymer-type carbon-ﬁber reinforcement materials and homogenization analysis for thermalproblems; (2) the destruction mechanism for bonded joints at leading edges and non-destructive evaluation methods
using electromagnetism ; (3) durability measurement and analysis methods for steel and elastomer materials in hightemperature power plants.

Our Degree Program provides interdisciplinary education and research covering a wide range
of engineering and scientiﬁc ﬁelds. Our program of study helps students acquire acomprehensive picture of our highly specialized society from scientiﬁc and technologicalperspectives, and helps them ﬁnd optimal solutions towards a sustainable world. Moreover,
our faculty members oﬀer state-of-the-art research topics such as ones shown in thisbrochure, and students can develop in-depth expertise through their research project. Please
visit our website for more details, and contact our faculty members related to your areas ofinterest if you are considering joining us. We look forward to seeing you on our lush green
campus located in the midst of Tsukuba Science City.

The threats of earthquakes, tsunamis, ﬁres, heavy rain and suchlike pose grave dangers to our lives and cause greatdamage. In addition to these sudden occurrences, serious damage may also be caused by the deterioration of materials,and long-term environmental disturbances. This group conducts research to develop advanced engineering technology
to control disasters, and disaster-prevention systems, by understanding the eﬀects of these disturbances on the ground,lifelines, buildings and bridges and by studying the causes of damage in detail.
