Characteristics of the Department

時代のニーズに
応える研究

By engaging in research that responds to diverse needs that change with the times, such as global warming, energy issues, agriculture, and nursing care, we aim to develop engineers with practical skills and the ability to collaborate.

実学重視の教育体制

In order to foster the design and development skills required of mechanical engineering-based engineers, we develop human resources through practical learning such as processing, experiments, analysis, model-based development, and the use of AI.

産学・地域連携
課題解決

In order to solve the problems faced by local companies, students make full use of not only what they learn in lectures but also the knowledge they gain through research activities to design, manufacture, and evaluate products.

ADVANCED PROGRAM

やる気に応える応援プログラム

設計・開発を目指す
機械エンジニアの育成プログラム

For motivated first and second year students who aim to work in design and development at a company, faculty and staff form teams to teach them the knowledge and skills related to manufacturing in small classes. In addition, by learning about research and employment and interacting with seniors, students' motivation to study specialized subjects is improved.

Four-year learning process

1年次基礎学力を高める

機械工学の知識・技術、ロボット・メカトロニクスで利用する電気回路などの知識、プログラミングや計算機の基礎、数学、物理、外国語などを学修します。

2年次専門知識を充実させる

Students will acquire knowledge about strength, motion, heat, flow, electrical circuits, and other subjects necessary for machine, automobile, and robot design, and will learn the processing techniques used to create machines and robots through both classroom and practical training.

3年次コース選択で
専門性を身につける

「機械・ロボットコース」、「生産技術コース」に分かれ、専門知識や技術を、多様な実験や実習を通じて学修します。

4年次将来（就職・進学）に
向けての活動

卒業研究に取り組みます。1年間の研究活動で考察力、判断力、創造力、コミュニケーション力などを養い、社会貢献できる能力を身につけます。

3年次からのコースを選択

Machinery and Robotics Course

Aiming to become an engineer with high problem-solving abilities

In this course, students learn software technologies such as programming and algorithms, hardware technologies such as computers and embedded systems, and network technologies. From the second year, students are divided into the "General Education Program" and the "Applied Education Program" to learn information technology practically.

Production Technology Course

Aiming to become a practical engineer in all aspects of machinery

In this course, students will learn traditional mathematics such as calculus, linear algebra, and probability and statistics to gain a solid mathematical foundation, and will also study information mathematics, a field of mathematics that has developed alongside computers, such as discrete mathematics, to gain a theoretical understanding of information science.

Class Pickup

Combining information, machinery and electricity
Mastering Information and Mechatronics Technology

プロジェクトデザイン管理

鶴田和寛教授

In this class, students learn how to automate machines used in factories. Specifically, students will assemble machines using pneumatic machines, electric motors, and devices that change the rotary motion of machines into linear motion. To control the movement of these machines, students will use light-sensing sensors and other types of sensors, and create programs using a special programming device (PLC). In this way, students can learn about technology that uses information technology, machinery, and electricity together by operating machines that they have designed.

3D CAD, NC machine tools, etc. from the first year
Experience manufacturing using people

エンジニアスキルⅡ

松下大介教授

For motivated students aiming to work in design and development, students will start manufacturing using 3D CAD and NC machine tools from their first year. Small classes provide more opportunities for students to exchange information with teachers and seniors, and students can understand the significance of the specialized subjects they will study in the future. In addition, by experiencing various processing machines and processing methods, and experiencing the differences in properties of materials and errors in processing, students aim to develop more flexible thinking and practical problem-solving skills.

Seminar Pickup

Taisuke Sakaki Seminar

Researching technologies to help people

Technology to help people is one of the future pillars of mechanical engineering. With a labor shortage due to a declining birthrate and aging population, support technology for the elderly and disabled is essential. In addition to the assist suit shown in the photo that prevents back pain in a nursing facility and a robot that supports the movement of people with total paralysis, we are researching walking rehabilitation robots for stroke patients, avatars that predict falls in the elderly, avatars that watch over people with heatstroke, and nursing lifts.

ゼミ生VOICE

竹島諒さん

Kokuraminami High School/Fukuoka

Although the research was difficult as we often reached dead ends, the sense of accomplishment we felt when we were able to solve a problem on our own was priceless. I feel that this experience helped me grow as a person.

Mitsuaki Murata Seminar

Shortage of skilled workers
Complementary research

Most of the products around you are made using "molds." Molds are made by cutting hard metals little by little through cutting processes. The tools used to cut the metal used in this process, like the blades you use every day, will gradually lose their sharpness with use. We are conducting research into automatically determining the appropriate time to replace a dull tool with a new one.

Hakuryo High School/Fukuoka

I was able to overcome these obstacles by repeatedly discussing the issues with my fellow researchers and facing the data. I also failed many times, but I believe these experiences will become valuable assets for me in the future.
