Mechanical engineering covers a very wide area from basic science to applied engineering, including fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, computational mechanics, solid mechanics, materials science, micro-machining, intelligent manufacturing, automatic control, and system design. The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers many of the basic disciplines that can be applied to industrial production with the potential to enrich human lives while remaining environmentally conscious.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering was established in 1921, making it one of the oldest departments in Kobe University. This Department has produced many leading engineers in mechanical engineering. It has three divisions: Thermo-Fluid Dynamics, Mechanics and Physics of Materials, and Design and Manufacturing. Research programs are offered in 13 fields.
* Recommended to find the professor/supervisor in advance.
Roughly 70% of undergraduates in this Department continue to the Master’s degree program. We produce individuals who possess advanced study and research abilities, a strong ethical sense, and a global mindset.
