Class Introduction
CAD Drawing Many companies use CAD (Computer Aided Design) for drafting and designing. There are various 3D CAD software, but CATIA is one of the high-end 3D CAD software, and is widely used in the automotive, aircraft, and electrical industries around the world. In this class, you will learn the basic operations of CATIA using a computer, and through the operation, you will also acquire the ability to imagine a three-dimensional diagram from a drawing.
Machine work training In order to learn the fundamentals of manufacturing, students will master processing and inspection methods through hands-on experience in precision inspection, machining, electrical machining, heat treatment, etc. In this class, students will experience cutting using lathes and milling machines, electrical machining using electric discharge machines, and strength improvement through heat treatment. Students will also learn about automated processing by creating NC programs for NC machine tools, including machining centers.
Mechanics of Materials 1 Strength of materials is the study of the forces and deformations that occur inside components that are subjected to load. In order to design machines and structures, it is necessary to know the magnitude of the force (stress) per unit cross-sectional area that occurs inside each component of the machine during use, and the value (strain) that expresses the amount of deformation as a percentage. In this class, we will learn about stress and strain, which are the foundations of strength of materials, the stress and deformation of components due to uniaxial load, and bending problems of simple beams, with the aim of acquiring solutions to these problems.
Electric Vehicles In this class, you will learn about the principles, structure, and operation of electric vehicles. When you hear the term "electric vehicle," you may think of a car that runs on a motor and is charged with a battery. However, there are many ingenious features in every aspect, such as safety, fuel efficiency, and comfort. You will learn about the technologies behind batteries, inverters, and motors while touching an actual vehicle. You will also learn about hybrid vehicles, the types of hybrid mechanisms, and their respective characteristics.
Introduction to Space Missions It is said that the space industry market is expected to reach 100 trillion yen in 2040. In preparation for the coming age of space development, this class aims to teach the basic concepts of microsatellite development and to enable students to design microsatellites at their desks as the first step to being able to create innovative space missions in the future. Students will be able to map out the path forward, such as what kind of mission they want to carry out with a microsatellite and what kind of satellite they need to develop to achieve that mission.
Introduction to Rocket Science Learn about the role and concept of rockets, which are used in many space applications. The characteristics of rockets and rocket engines from around the world are shown as examples. You will also learn about the systems, subsystems, structure, and performance of liquid rocket engines (e.g. the LE-7A first-stage engine of Japan's H-2A rocket). Actual objects are introduced through diagrams, photos, and videos, and you will learn about actual rockets and liquid rocket products. You will acquire specialized knowledge that will enable you to research and develop rockets and liquid rocket engines.

Grading Criteria
About our GPA System
The purpose of introducing the GPA (Grade Point Average) system is to 1. create a unified standard for the faculty, 2. create a standard with excellent fairness, and 3. create a standard that is internationally accepted, and to evaluate the results of learning with an objective numerical value called GPA. This system is roughly based on the grading system adopted by many universities overseas, and is an internationalized grading system that serves as an indicator of academic ability when studying abroad, advancing to Graduate School overseas, or finding employment at a foreign company.

Not eligible to take the exam
Represents that students are not eligible to take the exam due to insufficient attendance at the class or have abandoned the course.
GPA Calculation Method
*1 GPA will be rounded off to the third decimal place and expressed as a number with two decimal places.
*2 When a student retakes a failed course (fail, absent, or not qualified) and receives a pass grade, or when a student retakes a course and receives a fail grade (fail, absent, or not qualified), the grade before the retake is not included in the GPA. Qualification-related courses are excluded from the "total number of registered credits."
*3 It is desirable to have a GPA of 2.4 or higher (2.2 or higher for Department of Integrated Science and Engineering).
Credit Recognition
To earn credits
Credit system University classes are taught on a credit system. The number of credits is determined based on the number of study hours, and one credit is set at 45 hours of study (of which class time is generally 15 to 45 hours) taking into account the teaching method, educational effect of the class, and necessary study outside of class time. For specific details, please refer to the number of credits listed in the "Course Table."
Earning credits Credits can be earned by registering for classes at the beginning of each semester, attending classes, completing the necessary preparatory studies, and passing exams. University credits are based on the number of class hours. As a general rule, students must attend more than two-thirds of the class hours in order to be eligible to take exams. Please make attending classes your number one priority.
Number of credits required for graduation
To graduate, students must be enrolled for at least four years and earn at least 124 credits. The breakdown of the minimum number of credits required to graduate varies depending on the department, course, and year of enrollment.
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Course In today's rapidly changing society, social issues tend to become more diverse and complex. Responding to these issues requires more than just knowledge from a single or limited field of expertise; it requires multifaceted thinking that combines the humanities and sciences. For this reason, liberal arts education courses are divided into four fields: humanities, social science, natural science, and a field that combines the humanities and sciences. Please study each field in accordance with the graduation requirements to acquire a multifaceted perspective.
