Graduate School in the Department of Mechanical Engineering has a fine reputation for quality teaching and outstanding research since 1976. It is equipped with recently refurbished laboratories and specialized facilities for training graduate students to become competent and professional engineers and to lead in the development of advanced engineering technologies. The graduate students are taught by 11 professors who conduct in-depth research as well as teach practical mechanical engineering skills through various experiments and practice. There are funding opportunities for graduate students as general scholarships, TA’s, and RA’s, that benefit from research grants by industry and govornment as they work with their supervisor in the mechanical research field. Also a newly wide range university-managed accommodation optionsare offered under related regulatons. Graduates from the department of mechanical engineering, like our over 350 previous graduates, will find employment opportunities covering a wide range of industrial fields, including plants, electronics, semiconductors, automotive, electrical power, heavy equipment, etc., as well as university faculty, research positions in government laboratories, and independent businesses.

Based on the university’s founding ideal of’Truth and Service’, the Department of Mechanical Engineering primarily aims toplay a leading role in the advancement of mechaincal engineering and ultimately to contribute to the promotion of social welfare. To this end, the graduate program provides both a Master’s program and a Doctoral program. Both degree programs educate field engineers who are capable of handling practical problems by applying fundamental theories and state-of-arttechnologies in mechanical engineering, and train high-quality human resources who are ready to participate in teaching, research, and management in multidisciplinary areas.

• We nurture responsible leaders who will contribute to the construction of a welfare industrial society with the spirit of service based on the founding philosophy of our university: truth and service. • We train practical engineers who can solve practical problems by broadly educating the basic concepts of mechanical engineering and strengthening laboratory practice. • We nurture future-oriented talents with creativity and venture spirit in various industries. • We nurture global leaders who have an information mind and foreign language skills.
