Introduction of Mechanical, Materials and Manufacturing Science

Toshihiro TANAKA(School of Engineering)

Course Objective
   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 advanced materials, materials recycling processing, micro-macro interactive design of large structures, robotics, and fluid dynamics.

Cource Content
   Each professor assigns his own lecture room where students can learn 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.
