Master in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

Possessing the human resources necessary for meeting a wide variety of needs in engineering fields, the Course of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering nurtures high-level engineers and researchers who are able to develop technologies from an interdisciplinary perspective, rather than from a stereotyped viewpoint. They are not restricted to just mechanical engineering but are also proficient in the fields of aerospace, material, electronics, information, and environmental engineering. This course allows students to acquire high levels of expertise and engage in original research; this enables them to develop so that they can aggressively assume leadership in solving problems. Specifically, students are trained to acquire the following:

A broad and fundamental knowledge of mechanical engineering, and also advanced expertise in applied mathematics, mechanics, and physics, that provide a foundation for entering advanced interdisciplinary engineering fields such as space engineering

A flexible way of thinking and insight to view problems macroscopically by considering the harmony between the natural environment and human society, and also lead to solving problems systematically.

Applicants are expected to appreciate this policy and to be highly motivated. They are required to possess academic attainments in mathematics and physics employed in engineering as well as linguistic ability.

The symbol mark of the University represents the initial letter “T” of Tottori University, which is designed in the form of a dynamically flying bird. The flowing lines comprising the mark express the dynamism with which the University flexibly adapts to the new era as a unique and attractive university with a distinct identity. The two wings intersecting in the center symbolize infinite (∞) possibility and the Fusion of Knowledge and Practice, the University’s basic principles, and represent the continuous growth of the University.

The three circles comprised of two wings and a tail represent the goals* of the University’s education and research activities, while the image colors of blue and green represent the sky and the sea or the earth and life, which are symbols of the Earth, suggesting that the University develops globally while being nurtured by rich nature.

1) Development of well educated human resources that can play key roles in society

2) Promotion of cutting-edge research to solve global, human, and social issues

3) Contribution to the industries and culture of the local community
