Curriculum/Undergradaute Program

Introduction

The department was established in 1995 to meet growing needs for professional engineers with expert knowledge and broad vision required to match recent changes under global circumstances such as rapid economical growth in Asian region and internationalization of technology. International development engineering covers broad areas of engineering (Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Civil Engineering) that are necessary especially for Asian countries including Japan to further develop their industry. Engineers in this field are expected to actively play important roles in international cooperation between countries. 50% of the undergradaute students of the department are overseas students. This undergraduate program will also serve to enhance networking among the countries in the Asian region.

The department has following five subcourses to cover the different fields of engineering, and the international students shall select one of them before the entrance.

As other departments, all the lectures in the undergraduate course are given in Japanese. Those who want to enter in the undergraduate course shall have the sufficient skill of Japanese language. Refer Prospectus for International Students for details.

Curriculum

Common subjects in the department

Field Work in International Development
Mechanical Engineering in International Development
I. Lecture on Mechanical Engineering in Developing Countries.
II. Special Foci on Production, Management, Mechatronics, and Environment Control.
Civil Engineering in International Development
I. Lectures on Civil Engineering in developing countries
II. Construction and maintenance of infrastructures
III. Appropriate technology, explorations, geo-environments, geology, regional problems, professional ethics
Chemical Engineering in International Development
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in International Development
Colloquium of International Development
Seminar on International Development
This lecture gives a basic skill of presentation for scientists and engineers. Students will be required to make presentation and discussion in class room to improve that skill. Since each presentation will be a topic in such fields that concern with the international development engineering (i.e., chemical, mechanical, electrical/electronic/information, and civil engineering), students will have an opportunity to obtain wide views and a recent knowledge in the fields.

Specific subjects for mechanical engineering course

Projects of mechanical Synthesis
I. Activity in Creation or Investigation for System Generation, Joint Work with few Students based on Knowledge on Mechanical Engineering.
II. Project on either Production, Production, Management, Mechatronics, or Environment Control.
Mechatronics Technology
I. Mastering Basic Knowledge on Mechanical Measurement and Control Technology. II. Construction of Analog / Digital Circuits, A/D or D/A Interfaces, Sensor Circuits, and Servo Systems.
Mechatronics System
This lecture gives students a basic knowledge about mechatronics and automatic control, based on mathematics, dynamics, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, mechanics, and electromagnetism. This lecture is strongly related with other lectures ( Mathematics for Engineering, Energy and Fluid Flow, Mechanics of Deformation and Vibration, and Design and Manufacturing ), therefore, students of international development engineering have to take this lecture in order to take these lectures.
