On Campus

New technologies that transcend the boundaries of disciplines such as mechanical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, physics, chemistry, mathematics, and information are emerging one after another. In such an age, the ability to achieve unprecedented approaches based on cross-disciplinary knowledge through the fusion of science and engineering is required so as to maximize the functions of goods and systems and to solve problems as they arise. The Department of Engineering and Applied Sciences explores creation—including the creation of new functions based on the new discovery of physical phenomena and their possible applications to support humans and the environment—as its foundation. Through integrated studies of science such as physics and mathematics, and engineering such as materials, electronics, energy, and mechanical systems, the department fosters talented individuals capable of achieving harmony between industrial technology and natural science.

Research Examples

・Unique Research on a Magnetic Suspension System, Patented During School Years

The vehicle can remain afloat without falling when a bulk superconductor that does not pass magnetic field lines is placed between electromagnets on the ceiling and the iron rails of the track. Many students have conducted research based on this principle with its original ideas, and some of them have obtained patents while still at school.

・Applying Mechanical Engineering to Medicine to Reduce the Risk of Brain Injury

Using numeric analysis based on physics and mathematics, we can predict the site and degree of the damage by calculating the movement and deformation of a body during an accident. The program provides not only knowledge on mechanical engineering but also on a wide range of other fields including medicine.

・Toward the Elucidation of Cosmic Primordial Substances

Using knowledge of physics, we explore the behavior of the substances that filled the universe immediately after the Big Bang. Students learn numerical calculation techniques as they simulate trillions of substances on computer in experiments.
