Adventurous mechanical engineers with a firm base in scientific knowledge are fostered in the training program of this department. To this end, emphasis is laid on the thorough understanding of mechanicalprinciples, ranging from quantum mechanics to global-scale physical phenomena. At the same time, students are afforded ample opportunity,represented by the design and manufacture of unique machines, to cultivate creativity through their own experiences. Research activities cover the entire field of mechanical engineering as well as interdisciplinary are as such as environmental problems and bioengineering. The graduate program offers advanced course in the principal mechanical engineering subjects such as strength of materials, mechanics ofmachinery, thermodynamics and fluid dynamics.
Emphasis is placed on developing the students' abilities to interrelate various specializations.
The research activities extend into a variety of fields, e.g., micro-dynamics, advanced control, new utilization of solar energy,magnetohydrodynamics, advanced manufacturing processing, mechatronics,computer aided design and simulation.
