Introduction of Mechanical, Materials and Manufacturing Science

Makoto Kaneko

Goal of the lecture
   The goal of the lecture is to provide foreign students with the overview of the Division of Mechanical, Materials and Manufacturing Science with various representative topics, such as hard disc, materials recycling processing, micro-macro design, robotics, and combustion physics.

Style of lecture
   Each professor assigns his own lecture room where students can lean the overview of the Division of Mechanical, Materials and Manufacturing Science through both lecture and practice They are so arranged that students can understand the outline of the division, even without any preliminary knowledge in individual topics.
