Towards this goal, we conduct education and research on system analysis and design, intelligent robots, advanced devices, and next-generation manufacturing technologies that cover a wide range of phenomena at micro and macro levels.The mission of this division is to develop novel and advanced functional mechanical systems for a sustainable next generation society from a viewpoint of nano/micro to macro scale levels; for example, developments of body implantable mechanical systems, wearable sensors for health monitoring.-DIVISION OF HEAT TRANSFER AND FLUID ENGINEERING-DIVISION OF MATERIALS PHYSICS AND MECHANICS-DIVISION OF SYSTEM DESIGN-DIVISION OF INNOVATIVE MATERIALS AND NANO ENGINEERINGCHALLENGES TO BREAKTHROUGH OF “MACHINES” TO SUPPORT A SUSTAINABLE SOCIETYince the industrial revolution of the 18th century, “machines” have advanced greatly to become widespread across the globe. They have become the driving force of industrial development, supporting our societies across various areas.Nowadays, the concept of “machine” is expanding further, together with technological advances such as information technology, and fusing with related fields such as electronics, bioengineering, and medicine. This includes intelligent machines and robots, information devices connected to networks, and machines functioning in extreme or micro environ-ments that were previously unimaginable.Mechanical engineering is a basic discipline that has supported this evolution of “machines”, and the various technologies related to “machines” and “manufacturing” are the culmination of the efforts devised by many engineers and researchers majoring in mechanical engineering. However, the development of industries through mass production and mass consump-tion has also caused global energy issues and environmental problems. Therefore, mechanical engineers now play a vital role in contributing towards the realization of a “sustainable society”, which is safe and secure and has less impact on the environment. They must also aim to solve these related issues from a global perspective, considering the social influence of science and technology.The Department of Mechanical Engineering keeps challenge towards the breakthrough of “machines” that drive new technological innovations capable of supporting such a “sustainable society”. We continue to cultivate mechanical engineers and researchers who can respond to the demands of future society.he department of Mechanical Engineering was established in 1921, one of the oldest departments in the University. It produces many leading engineers in mechanical engineering. The department has four divisions: Heat Transfer and Fluid Engineering, Materials Physics and Mechanics, System Design, and Innovative Materials and Nano Engineer-ing. Research programs are offered in 11 fields.Courtesy ofKawasaki Heavy Industries, LTD.Energy equipment (gas turbine)Towards realization of sustainable society, complex phenomena with heat and mass transfer in fluid systems in human body, energy systems including power and refrigerating systems, natural environment, and so on, are being investigated theoretically, experimentally, and numerically.The mission of this division is to promote research and education of mechanical and physical properties of materials through analytical, numerical, and experimental evaluation of structures and machine components. Formation of advanced materials is also studied in this division.Social infrastructure(Great SetoBridge)Division of HeatTransferand FluidEngineeringNext-generation production system(robotic production cell)Division of SystemDesignCourtesy ofMitsubishi Electric CooperationExamples of “machines” that support a sustainable societyCONCEPTSSTRUCTUREAND DIVISIONST
