The Department of Mechanical Engineering was founded in 1958 as one of the oldest departments of the Faculty of Engineering. In 1963, the Department of Mechanical Engineering II was founded to meet the demands of society in which mechanical and other industries had been making remarkable progress. These two departments were operated jointly in order to offer students a wide choice of specialization in various phases of mechanical engineering. In the past three decades, with the developments in sciences and technologies including computer technology, mechanical engineering has widely expanded and changed in the aspects of control, electronics and information processing. According to such demands of society for mechanical engineers, the Department of Mechanical Engineering II was renamed the Department of Mechanical Systems Engineering in 1991. With this change the curriculum of these two departments was thoroughly reexamined and reconstructed. Students in the Department of Mechanical Engineering are expected to master the subjects concerning control, electronics and information processing as well as fundamental subjects such as the strength of materials, thermodynamics and fluid dynamics. Students in the Department of Mechanical Systems Engineering are expected to master design methodology of engineering systems, optimal design of mechanical systems, and assessment of machine elements as well as the fundamental subjects common to the Department of Mechanical Engineering. These two departments are organized into the following eight fields; strength of materials, heat transfer and engineering thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, machine design and tribology, production and manufacturing processes, applied physics, control engineering and measurement systems. |
