Lecture Outline
Week 1 & 2
DISCOVERY OF CARBON NANOTUBE AND ITS APPLICATION TO ENGINEERING (Prof. SHIBUTANI,
Yoji) A topic on a carbon nanotube, which was discovered by Sumio Iijima of
NEC Corp., is taken here and its recent applications to the engineering field
are especially emphasized.
Week 3 & 4
LASER APPLIED MEASUREMENT IN NANOTECHNOLOGY (Assoc. Prof. TAKAYA, Yasuhiro)
It is impossible to manufacture almost all high-tech products without Nanotechnology.
An introductory lecture is given on the technical essence of the laser applied
measurement which are indispensable to establish Nanotechnology.
Week 5 & 6
ADVANCED ROBOTICS AND COMPUTER VISION TECHNOLOGIES IN JAPAN (Assoc. Prof. MIURA,
Jun) This lecture focuses on robotics and computer vision technologies developed
in Japan, which are important in realizing advanced autonomous/automation systems.
Week 7 Labo Tour 1
Week 8 & 9
BREATHING CERAMICS CONTRIBUTE TO ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION (Prof. O.-Y.-MATSUO,
Shinya) Ceramics called solid state ionics have been applied to construct the
fuel cells for clean energy production and catalysts for the removal of harmful
exhausted gases. Cations and anions can move swiftly in them, and exchange of
gas-species between ceramics and gases takes place; ceramics are breathing?
This lecture gives an introductory story on the field of ionics which a lot
of Japanese researches have been devoted to.
Week 10 & 11
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF PERMANENT MAGNET AND SHAPE MEMORY MATERIALS IN JAPAN
(Prof. KAKESHITA, Tomoyuki) The lecture deals with the permanent magnet and
shape memory materials, which have been researched and developed in Japan. Also,
a basic talk is given on the magnetism, magnetic properties and the martensitic
transformation under high magnetic field and high pressure.
Week 12 & 13
KEY MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGIES IN ADVANCED ENGINEERING PRODUCTS -NEW MATERIALS
JOINING & PROCESSING TECHNOLOGIES - (Prof. NISHIMOTO, Kazutoshi) The lecture
deals with the materials joining & processing technologies in fabricating
industries in Japan. Some relating technical research topics and new trends
of their applications are briefly introduced.
Week 14 Labo Tour 2
