    Japanese craftsmanship has been cultivated since ancient times. It is well known that Horyuji Temples fi ve-storied pagoda, the oldest wooden structure in the world, has withstood many earthquakes and typhoons over the centuries thanks to its unique architectural structure that cannot be found elsewhere. The pagoda stands as a testament to the high levels of craftsmanship and wisdom involved in Japanese architecture. Since the Meiji period (1868-1912), Japan has tried to eagerly absorb modern technology from the West. This combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern technologies enabled Japan to lay a unique foundation for a technology-oriented nation in the 21st century. In a resource-limited country, we have exercised our ingenuity and craftsmanship to push new frontiers in various aspects of human society, and contributed to the world.

    Using knowledge and other cultural assets received from mainland Asia and the rest of the world, Japan has successfully created an affl uent society. Now, we in turn should diff use the creative ingenuity of Japanese people for the betterment of the global society. As the term Spaceship Earth suggests, it is imperative that we work on the development of innovative technologies that can ably control ecological balance. In this respect, the global community looks to the contribution of Japanese people, who have coped with forces of nature with fl exibility and ingenuity.

    Technology has now become a universal tool that makes our lives easier. As one of the strongest advocates of world peace, Hiroshima can provide a place where promising young students gather from around the world to create and communicate innovative ideas and research results globally. Staff ed with faculty members excelling in their respective fi elds of specialization, the Graduate School of Engineering, Hiroshima University provides an environment that facilitates unconstrained research activities and the educational policy of respecting students personalities, producing steady results. In addition, the Graduate School has vigorously pushed ahead with the internationalization of education.

    Mechanical Systems Engineering Mechanical Science and Engineering System Cybernetics Information Engineering Chemical Engineering Applied Chemistry Civil and Environmental Engineering Transportation and Environmental Systems Architecture

    In April 2010, the Graduate School of Engineering underwent a major reorganization and made a fresh start as a graduate school comprising nine departments: Mechanical Systems Engineering, Mechanical Science and Engineering, System Cybernetics, Information Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Applied Chemistry, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Transportation and Environmental Systems, and Architecture. In collaboration with the Graduate School of Advanced Sciences of Matter and the Graduate School for International Development and Cooperation, our Graduate School off ers research and educational programs covering all fi elds of engineering. Such comprehensive research and education activities in engineering can be performed only at Hiroshima University, a research-intensive university that has a reputation as one of the leading research and educational institutions in Japan. We have produced many masters degree holders and brilliant doctorate degree holders including those from overseas countries.

    The Graduate School of Engineering is committed to high-quality research and education in engineering, aiming to conduct world-leading research activities.

    I look forward to welcoming you to our Graduate School.

    As their major social functions, universities educate students and develop human resources who can respond to societys needs.In recent years, the environment surrounding engineering has undergone substantial changes. Today, those engaged in engineering are required to 1) be experts profoundly knowledgeable about scientifi c technology in a specifi c fi eld so they can actively promote research and development in the area of engineering, and 2) have systematic basic knowledge in a wide range of fi elds.Against this background, Hiroshima University Graduate School of Engineering has formulated three principles and six objectives to achieve two major purposes: 1) to promote active exchanges among researchers who share the same academic methods or research subjects, thereby pioneering and developing boundary and interdisciplinary fi elds, and 2) to organically conduct education and research concerning impending engineering challenges from a broad perspective. Each graduate course is off ered independently from undergraduate clusters (groups), courses, and overall organization. As a result, the Graduate School of Engineering encompasses almost all major fi elds in engineering, thereby fostering researchers capable of integrating various disciplines while staying abreast of the specialization in each research fi eld.In fi scal 2001, in accordance with a program aimed to place more emphasis on graduate schools, the functions of education and research in the Faculty of Engineering have been transferred from undergraduate courses to graduate courses. Following this organizational change, the Graduate School of Engineering, together with the Graduate School of Advanced Sciences of Matter and the Graduate School for International Development and Cooperation, today provides advanced education to students who have completed undergraduate courses in engineering.Following the reorganization of the graduate school in 2010, the Graduate School of Engineering has set up lecture courses in English which make it possible to graduate in English only, in order to provide the basics for Japanese students to be able to perform activities on the international stage.Furthermore, the Interdisciplinary Program has been introduced to perform education in advanced fi elds that consist through the merger of diff erent fi elds, where knowledge and methods of other fi elds are taught as well, surpassing the territory of one specialty while maintaining the pivot of each major.

  • 6 CAEComputer Aided EngineeringFA

    Factory Automation

    Mechanical engineering plays a key role in all fields of manufacturing, including but not limited to mechanical industries, electrical appliances, electronic devices, and chemical industries. In the past, machines were designed based on an engineers experience and intuition or by using empirical equations. Since then, Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) has been developed and continues to advance technologically, and is now used extensively in the design and industrial processing of machines. The Finite Element Method (FEM) is an example of CAE that creates analytical models and conducts numerical simulations. These computerized techniques now enable engineers to predict machine properties with a higher degree of accuracy and thereby obtain the optimal design in terms of quality and efficiency. In addition, the rapid progress of control and electronic measurement technologies within the manufacturing process enables machines to be produced using high-speed and high-accuracy positioning controls, especially in Factory Automation (FA) and industrial-use robots. The Department of Mechanical Systems Engineering offers educational programs for students who wish to

    FACAE TRIP

    rise to the challenge of meeting societys demand for a future filled with cutting-edge technology. The program emphasizes solid mechanics, dynamics, fluid dynamics, reactive gas dynamics, design engineering, manufacturing process engineering, manufacturing systems engineering, and control engineering. Graduates from this program usually pursue careers in Research and Development (R&D), as executive technical experts, high-performance and intelligent machine designers, or CAE computer software developers for mechanical systems (machines, measurements, controls, FA, industrial-use robots, etc.).

    We educate our students and conduct research with a view to building ideal artificial systems uniting human beings with the environment, and to solving the varied problems of such complex systems in the 21st century.The progress of technology in the 20th century has been a major driving force behind the realization of todays affluent lifestyle. On the other hand, in line with increasing economic discrepancy, it has also brought about serious environmental aggravation and social unrest. Moreover, all systems surrounding us have become larger and more complex. Therefore, the possibility of large-scale uncontrollable confusion, caused by even a very small accident, cannot be ignored. Therefore, in order to construct a better society, it is required to solve the many fundamental problems caused by large-scale complex systems, and to build ideal and gentle systems for the people. We establish the theory and methods for analyzing complex systems that comprise people as one component. To achieve this, it is necessary to unify existing research

    21

    areas, and to devise new plans to construct better systems. Currently we encounter a lot of problems caused by complicated, large-scale systems. System cybernetics is a research area which solves problems such as those mentioned above by mathematical and information scientific approaches and investigates many innovative problems through system engineering methods. Our approach to such problems is based on the study of electricity, electrons, systems, information, and mathematics. This will help propel us toward an ideal society for human beings in the 21st century. In our department, we provide two courses. One course is the Fundamentals of Systems Engineering. In this course, the students study the basic theory of system cybernetics. The other course is Applied Cybernetics. The purpose here is to construct a new theory to analyze, control and design systems generated by human beings and machines. In this way we establish system cybernetics, which is a new field of investigation in engineering. Here are some of the main lectures given in our

    Human motor control mechanism

  • Graduate School of Engineering 11

    20139

    department: fundamental theory of a system by applied and stochastic mathematical approaches, system optimization, social informatics, and so on. We also provide lectures on application theories which currently handle various real systems in our society through appropriate basic theory and methodology. Furthermore, in cooperation with the Department of Information Engineering, we nurture the students who have a wider range of basic knowledge, technical one of the latest technology and its application, and have learned the skills to analyze, plan, control and apply for various real systems from the viewpoint of system cybernetics.In the masters course, students must take both core lectures, which consist of applied and stochastic mathematical approaches, system optimization, social informatics, and the like; and special lectures, which consist of a wide range of topics from the fi eld of system cybernetics.

    Synthesis of porous nanoparticles, photoluminescence and self-organized film, and its characterization.

    Development of supercritical fluids technology.

    Though they may have excellent value, materials and products do not become great tools for enriching human lives without the appropriate production processes. Since the amounts of available energy and material resources are limited, it is necessary to innovate the processes and their systems to achieve an ideal balance between sustainable production of materials and minimization of the environmental loads.Chemical engineering has developed as an academic area that utilizes chemistry, biology, and physics in the design and operation of more innovative processes and systems for chemical plants that realize more highly efficient production modes. The essence of chemical engineering is using process-oriented intellections to recognize systemic problems being faced and thereby discover optimal solutions. Thus, chemical engineerings roles in developing a sustainable society consist of constructing optimal processes for material production and conserving our environment by controlling energy and material flows based on the characteristics, structures, and functions of molecules and their

    assembly, as well as transportations and conversions of energy and materials in micro-/macro-phenomena, all under the concept of eco-friendly chemistry. Typical challenges in chemical engineering include establishing technologies for energy production and its effective utilization, designing chemical synthesis and production systems, creating new valuable materials, and controlling human impacts on the environment in consideration of the energy, resource and environmental problems we face. The approaches in chemical engineering are widely used in many sectors including the chemical industry, indicating the importance of chemical engineering as a practical academic endeavor.Department of chemical engineering in Hiroshima University consists of seven laboratories: Thermal-Fluid Engineering, High-Pressure Fluid Property, Polymer Technology, Separation Technology, Fine Particle Technology, Equipment Materials Engineering, and Green Process Engineering. Working together, we conduct state-of-the-art research on the development

    http://www.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/en/appl/

    Education and research in basic and applied chemistry have become more and more important in light of a strong societal demand for the materials that possess high functionality while harmonizing with the global environment. The Department of Applied Chemistry aims to cultivate human resources who can analyze, design, and develop functional materials at a molecular level while considering the environment, through the concept of environment-friendly chemistry, employing state-of-the-art research in each field with the cooperation of each laboratory. Concretely, in the masters course, we provide a wide-ranging specialized chemistry education comprising chemical reaction theory as well as organic, inorganic and analytical chemistry. We also give students assignments to analyze the structure, chemical reactivity and physical property of materials at the molecular level, as well as to design and develop novel functional materials. Through these processes, we develop researchers and advanced engineers who can chemically not only design environmentally harmless molecules and reactions but also develop environmentally

    harmonized chemical processes. In the doctors course, we nurture highly skilled professionals and researchers, based on the basic knowledge acquired in the masters course, who are able to solve problems from higher aspects, settle on an original working system, and play an active international role as a leader. Representative research subjects are as follows:

    Synthesis of novel organosilicon compounds and their applications to heat-resistance, conducting, and emissive materials (Ohshita)

    Synthesis of Novel Functional Dyes and Their Applications to Optoelectronic Devices (Ooyama)

    Architecture

    21

    The goal of research and education at the Department of Architecture is to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for various types of structures ranging from small-scale residential buildings to highrise and long-span structures, as well as the regional and urban spaces. Various types of structures, including steel, reinforced concrete, and timber structures, are investigated with regard to their cultural, functional, and mechanical aspects.Due to increasing societal demands of the 21st century, we have to abandon the scrap-and-build-type system of building and construction of the 20th century, and seek for rational renovation of residential spaces and the urban environment that emphasizes conformity and coexistence with nature and an increasingly aging society. In order to resolve these demands, new methodologies are required for recreating beautiful landscapes in highly industrialized societies. Safe and comfortable urban and residential environments should be developed, safeguarding against seismic and fire disasters, based on new technologies in renovation, recycling, and reuse, for residential buildings, cultural

    facilities, public buildings, and industrial structures.Toward these goals, we educate engineers and researchers who have deep knowledge and expertise in new technologies, including seismic engineering, computational mechanics, material engineering, applied mathematics, computer science, and reliability-based engineering. These engineers and researchers are expected to lead the innovative development of architecture and building engineering based on a deep and wide knowledge of the traditional areas of research and education: namely, structural mechanics, material science, design loads, construction management, architectural environment, planning, design, and history. The ability to practically integrate their expertise is to be acquired systematically through internship or on-the-job training in industry and design offices, which is required for application for the qualification of First Class Qualified Architect/Building Engineer.In order to carry out this research and education, the laboratories of the Department of Architecture are classified into the two areas of Building Engineering and Architecture.
