Department of Mechanical Systems Engineering

Outline

Mechanical systems engineering combines hardware from a range of engineering fields with software, primarily for computers, to create a system for an entire manufacturing process, from research and development to design and manufacture and even maintenance.

Engineers in this field must therefore not only possess specialist knowledge of these areas; they must also be able to constantly view things from a global perspective. They must never fail to consider matters such as harmony with the natural environment, conservation of resources and energy and the coexistence of human beings and machinery. They need to be able to produce items that contribute to the progress and welfare of society.

To achieve these objectives, the Department of Mechanical Systems Engineering aims to teach students to make judgments from an international viewpoint and integrate their basic and specialized knowledge and skills to build systems for a new social framework.

Course Aims

Department of Mechanical Systems Engineering aims to teach students to make judgments from an international viewpoint and integrate their basic and specialized knowledge and skills to build systems for a new social framework. To achieve this, the course aims are as follows:

  • To provide students with basic and specialist knowledge of mechanical engineering
  • To provide students with the ability to build mechanical systems
  • To provide students with the ability to find and solve problems
  • To provide students with the ability to consider the coexistence between human beings and the environment from a variety of perspectives.
  • To broaden students' viewpoints and provide them with excellent communication skills
