Course Description

Professors of mechanical engineering department in this university and specialists outside the university select themes and present research trends and advanced technology in wide field of mechanical engineering. Besides, plant tour of manufacturing company will be planned in this seminar.

Course Objectives

Students will learn about advanced technology and research trends in wide field of mechanical engineering. And they understand many subjects they study in university, are used practically in actual industry. The purpose of this seminar is that this understanding will trigger their thinking about their own career.

Grading Policy

Students will be requested to submit a report on each theme (concrete contents will be instructed by each faculty in charge).
