The technology in the industrial world has achieved remarkable progress recently, but in parallel, becoming multidisciplinary. Research and development companies have increased, which consequently leads to strong social demands for new technological developments as well as highly-specialized engineers who are capable of coping with those challenges. In response to this, we provide advanced education and research opportunities for trying to enrich the Masters's course of engineering research. In this major, by the spirit of our foundation, we promote personal research and development to training richly creative high-level engineers who can deal with fast-evolving technological renovation. We also re-educate society members who are engaged in research development.

For the continuing advancement of mankind, we should establish materials cycles and energy flows that harmonize with nature. In this course, students study the design, synthesis, and practical use of environment-conscious materials which require less energy for production and which can safely enter the earth's ecosystem. Aiming at fostering distinguished researchers and engineers to create and manage the next generation's fundamental material technology, this course provides education for the creation of new materials and the methods and technologies required to assess such new materials' characteristics.

In order to design and construct the social infrastructure that supports people's lives from various perspectives, in addition to the basics of the conventional civil engineering field, we will improve our ability to collaborate with interdisciplinary fields such as community design, disaster prevention management, and overseas projects. Is a feature. In addition, we will enhance practical human power by actually experiencing local issues and construction technology sites. In this way, we will train construction engineers who can play an active role in Japan and overseas by developing technologies and proposing measures according to the actual region, taking into consideration the social conditions, the lives of local residents, and the natural environment from various angles.

The department of mechanical engineering is desired to correspond to the development of computer networks, the globalization of society, the environmental problems, and the aging society, and to make a social contribution through joint research projects with companies. The objective of this department is to nurture leading engineers and researchers who can create advanced machines and systems through education and research in the fields of information and control, production, the human environment, and materials.

Electrons, when confined in a nanometer-sized space (1 nanometer = 10-9 m), remarkably begin to behave like waves. For example, an organic molecule can be considered as a quantum state in which electrons are confined in an nm space consisting of atoms connected together. Semiconductor nanoparticles show colors different from those of bulk solids due to this quantum size effect. The Quantum Materials Science Laboratory studies molecules, crystals, nanoparticles, and ultrathin films of both organic and inorganic materials, utilizes various optics-based experimental approaches to clarify material properties from the viewpoint of quantum physics, and aims to create new functional materials that will be used in optical information-communication or environment-conscious devices in the future.

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.
