授業の目的と概要
This course introduces first year students to the three specialized programs in mechanical engineering: the Intelligent Machine Design Program, the Aerospace and Energy Program, and the Medical Device Program. By presenting the fields covered in each program and examples of their applications, the course helps students understand what mechanical engineers study and how they contribute to society.

Students also learn about core subjects common to all mechanical engineering fields, such as mechanics of materials, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, mechanical design, control engineering, and engineering drawing. These subjects form the foundation for later research and professional work.

The course explains the structure of the new curriculum, including the second year program selection system and the ability to choose a research laboratory freely. This information supports students in planning their academic pathway with confidence.

Through the lectures, students gain an overview of the breadth and potential of mechanical engineering and are encouraged to explore their own interests. The course is taught by faculty members with practical experience in industrial product development, providing clear and engaging explanations of both fundamental and applied aspects of the field.
授業の到達目標
Students are expected to achieve the following learning goals.

1. Understanding the characteristics of the three mechanical engineering programs
Students will be able to explain the specialized fields, educational content, and major research themes of each of the three programs.
Students will understand how each program connects to various sectors of society and what types of engineers each program aims to develop.

2. Promoting self understanding for program selection
Students will be able to consider which program best fits their interests, motivations, and future career goals.
Students will understand that diverse career paths remain open after program selection, including the fact that research laboratory placement is not restricted by program, and will be able to think proactively about their career development.

3. Understanding the significance of fundamental subjects common to mechanical engineering
Students will be able to explain the roles and importance of fundamental subjects such as mechanics of materials, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, mechanical design, engineering drawing, measurement and control.
Students will understand how these foundational subjects connect to research activities in the fourth year and contribute to the development of fundamental engineering abilities.

4. Understanding the learning structure and academic requirements in the mechanical engineering curriculum
Students will understand the curriculum structure from the second year onward, including the relationship between common subjects and program specific subjects.
Students will understand the requirements for advancement to the fourth year, mandatory subjects, grading standards, and other academic rules necessary for planning their studies, and will be able to create an appropriate study plan.

5. Basic understanding of the social significance of mechanical engineering technologies
Students will be able to describe the role of mechanical engineering in fields such as medicine, energy, mobility, robotics, and space development, and its contributions to modern society.
Students will understand the importance of ethics, safety, and international perspectives required of professional engineers.
授業計画
【全体】
This course aims to help students understand the characteristics of the three specialized programs in mechanical engineering and to develop the basic perspectives necessary for selecting a program in the second year.

In the first session, the head of the Mechanical Engineering Division will introduce the breadth of mechanical engineering, the importance of fundamental subjects, and the structure of the new curriculum.

In sessions 2 and 3, faculty members from the Intelligent Machine Design Program will introduce major research topics and examples of societal applications from their laboratories.

In sessions 4 and 5, faculty members from the Aerospace and Energy Program will present key research areas and their relevance to real world engineering applications.

In sessions 6 and 7, faculty members from the Medical Device Program will introduce research themes related to medical engineering and illustrate how mechanical engineering contributes to healthcare and related fields.

Throughout the course, students will be provided with clear explanations of the characteristics and appeal of each field, helping them explore their interests and consider future academic and career paths.

"What is exciting about mechanical engineering?"
This course is designed especially for students who find themselves asking this question.

Cutting edge technologies that drive modern society, including robotics, aerospace, energy systems, medical devices, mobility, AI, and cloud based systems, come to life only when information and mechanical technologies work together. The digital world alone cannot move society.

Mechanical engineering is a powerful engine for creating the future. In this course, we invite you to explore its appeal and its possibilities with us.
