Thus the chemical engineer is expected to be a specialist in the material change, who can develop a process of new production techniques, and who can optimize an existing process by isolating and eliminating the limiting factors. The curriculum of our graduate course covers chemical reaction engineering, catalytic reaction engineering, separation engineering, biochemical reaction engineering, phase equilibrium, environmental engineering, transport phenomena, process control, and fluid mechanics of multiphase flow. We are thus well equipped to produce highly gratified chemical engineers. In 1997, the Department of Systems and Human Science was founded, encompassing the areas of mechanical science, system science, and biophysical engineering. Multidisciplinary research projects are expected from the collaboration.
Emphasis is placed on mathematics, system engineering, and information processing.
Specialized training in individual fields will produce researchers and engineers capable of adopting creatively the challenges in the coming century. The Division consists of four areas and ten chairs and offers advanced research and education programs. Research activity is focused on the analysis as well as synthesis of physical phenomena in the mechanics and mechanical systems. The basis is solid mechanics. This division especially aims at development of basic theories and technologies for mathematical or physical systems, human-oriented systems, and computer and machine intelligent systems.
