Design Engineering Laboratory
Professor Shinichi Enoki
The Design Engineering Laboratory conducts basic research aimed at establishing ``design standards for material failure'' that focus on the ``essence of material failure'' that is not bound by conventional academic systems, and new strength design methods using these design standards. We are conducting applied research aimed at establishing the

Production processing system laboratory
Professor Takeshi Sawai
The Production Processing Systems Laboratory is conducting research on drilling using micro drills. This process is indispensable for downsized equipment and precision instruments, but the reality of this process goes beyond just changing the hole diameter.

Space Propulsion Rocket Engineering Laboratory
Professor Koichi Tahara (HP)
JAXA asteroid explorers "Hayabusa" and "Hayabusa 2" return to Earth! This is truly the beginning of the age of space exploration. The Space Propulsion Rocket Engineering Laboratory boldly takes on the challenge of space development in the near future, including the development of new rocket engines for space navigation, the development of small artificial satellites and planetary probes, and the formulation of space launch plans!

Materials Mechanics Laboratory
Professor Akihiro Wada
"Developing new materials by combining multiple materials" is the concept of composite materials. The Materials Mechanics Laboratory aims to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society through research themes related to the design, manufacturing, and non-destructive testing of composite materials.
-
Materials Process Laboratory
Associate Professor Koichiro Nanbu
We conduct research on process development aimed at increasing the strength and functionality of metal materials. We conduct research on metal materials that have a wide range of uses, not only in transportation equipment such as automobiles, but also in familiar home appliances and tableware.

Bioengineering laboratory
Minako Ohashi Lecturer
This is a laboratory that conducts research that applies mechanical engineering to support difficult situations in daily life. We are conducting research on improving materials for artificial joints that can be used to replace joints with artificial materials when problems occur, and on systems that learn necessary sounds to support the hearing-impaired and elderly.

Welfare and Environmental Engineering Laboratory
Kozo Sugiyama Lecturer
Focusing on how welfare equipment and industrial equipment can get over steps, we won the Advanced Technology Award for Opening Originality (18th Student Affairs Department) and developed a device that allows people to easily get over steps by using the strength of their legs. Obtained a patent "Patent No. 6962554". The wisdom of our students has greatly contributed to these efforts.
