Course description and aims

This course is designed for Electrical and Electronic Engineering students (excluding Mechanical Engineering students) to learn the fundamentals of mechanical engineering. With Kikai Kogaku Gairon ("General Mechanical Engineering") as the textbook, students will acquire the fundamentals of mechanical engineering. The content has been changed significantly from the previous year and focuses on the fundamentals. Ideal for students who want to broaden their knowledge and for those who have an interest in mechanical engineering.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to understand the basics of mechanical engineering.

Other

The contents of this lecture have been greatly improved. It was omnibus topic lectures in last year, but from this year, we will study fundamentals of mechanical engineering based on a text book. Those who are interested in mechanical engineering, and those who would like to stretch their knowledge, should attend this lecture. The lecture will be provided by experts in mechanical engineering.
