Students can select the research topics on various fields related to mechanical engineering and work on their themes under
the professor. Students will learn how to find, approach and solve problems. Also, students will learn the research papers
writing skills. In the process of problem-solving, students have to required creative utilization of basic knowledge acquired
by the three years. So in order to take this course, students must satisfy the requirements for graduation thesis 1 which
is mentioned in "Handbook of Study (Faculty of Engineering)".
The minimum required studying time for the graduation thesis 1 is 400 minutes per week and the total learning time should be 5600 minutes. Students will decide their study schedules with the professor. Individual meeting and group discussion will hold with the professor. Some project may carry out overseas.

The purpose of this class is to utilize expert knowledge as a mechanical engineer, to independently studies solutions for
unknown issues. Students should present their obtained results through papers and oral presentations.
- Students can understand the background of the problem, clarify the research purpose and focus the research subjects.
- Students can utilize their expert knowledge, combine the appropriate experiments and analytical methods, and propose how to solve the problem.
- Students can manage their research plan and perform by the deadline.
- Students can communicate their opinion and explanation of the research result etc. Also, they can understand other person's comments or questions, and discuss with professors and other students.
- Students acquire the skill for the topics and how to survey the information or the knowledge by using the Internet etc.. Students have to learn continuously and autonomously.
The research topics of the thesis work includes the following ones. The details of the individual topics will be addressed
to each students.
1. Investigation of the flow driven by corotating disks mounted in an enclosure
2. Study on complex flow of colloidal liquid for thermal transport
3. Development of novel measurement method for investigating thermal fluid phenomena
Throughout the Graduate Thesis 1, an emphasis is put on addressing scientific problems and proposing solutions for them. This step of properly addressing the problems and solutions becomes the fundamental of accomplishment of successful writing of the graduate thesis in the following lecture, Graduate Thesis 2.
The students are asked to investigate the topic, to find problems, to propose solutions and to work on research activity. They are requested to regularly participate in laboratory meetings and to report their progress as well as to participate in the intermediate review and final examination processes. Moreover, they are obliged to record their daily research activities on the provided laboratory notebooks and to regularly report their activities to the supervisor. The students are expected to work on their topics with their own will and to discuss on the topics together with the professors and the other students towards their successful accomplishments of the course.
