Junior Year
Applying Knowledge Acquired Through the Fundamental Subjects
During their junior year, students will foster their knowledge gained through the fundamental subjects they have taken up to that point, and further develop their ability to apply that knowledge in specialized courses offered for their course of study.

1st/3rd Semester
Seminar for Mechanical Engineers I, II
Instructors will be invited from outside of the university, to provide students with talks on such topics that aren’t covered in regular university lectures, such as recent industry and corporate trends, engineering topics from the field, as well as talks pertaining to the personal experiences of such lecturers, as professional engineers and researchers. Students will be given the opportunity to gain a broader view of the fields of mechanical engineering and systems engineering, as well as the chance to individually reflect upon what qualities are required of professional mechanical engineers by the professional world, and this lecture series is very helpful for orienting students in their future classes/research and career planning, etc.
1st/2nd/3rd/4th Semester
Experiments in Mechanical Engineering
Individual experiments will be performed for 5 different fields related to mechanical engineering (materials engineering, production engineering, fluid engineering, energy engineering, and instrumentation engineering). For each experiment, a thematic focus will be placed on concepts that are both important and fundamental for each field, and each experiment will be performed in small groups, at an easy to follow pace. By assuming an active role in these experiments, students will acquire an understanding of concepts, which are difficult to learn from just relying on a textbook, such as how to implement methods to obtain and analyze experimental testing data. Additionally, students will also further develop their communication skills as they draft reports and give presentations after performing their experiments.
2nd Semester
Nontraditional Machining
Among the myriad of different methods that are used for the cutting and bending of industrial material to obtain a desired shape (machining methods), there exist specialized methods that don’t make use of cutting blades. These include, for example, laser machining methods that are used to perform cutting using light that possesses high energy density, as well as electrochemical machining, where electrolysis is used for eluting and removal of anode materials, among other methods. In conjunction with the continuing trend of miniaturization of industrial products in recent years, the demand for methods that are geared toward machining hard materials and producing complex shapes is also rising, and as a result, the significance of specialized machining methods is increasing. In this lecture series, students will be provided with an explanation of the basic principles and characteristics of each specialized machining method, as well as how such methods are applied in practice.
3rd/4th Semester
CAD
CAD (Computer Aided Design) refers to systems that allow engineering design work to be performed on computers, and knowledge of such systems is both fundamental and indispensable for efficiently performing product design within the context of manufacturing activities. In this lecture series, students will first use 2-dimensional CAD to draft technical drawings and make use of various shape processing functions to gain an understanding of such systems and techniques, and they will further acquire skills while they engage in lab activities to draft mechanical drawings. Additionally, students will acquire the fundamental skills necessary to perform the successive steps required to perform 3-dimensional design, from parts modeling using 3-dimensional CAD (creating 3D representations of individual parts), until the final assembly process (parts assembly).
