Course description
The course covers advanced topics of mechanical engineering provided by omnibus lectures of all faculties of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Students will then present oral presentation(s) on assigned topics of advanced and/or applied mechanical engineering.
Purpose of class
The course will provide introductions of some advanced topics relevant to the mechanical engineering and guidelines for technical presentation. The course is an opportunity for English speakers to gain understanding mechanical engineering, or for Japanese students to study engineering topics in English.
Goals and objectives
  1. Students should be able to gain understanding of advanced topics on mechanical engineering.
  2. Students should be able to gain understanding of a broad view of mechanical engineering analysis and design.
  3. Students should be able to give presentations on a topic on mechanical engineering in English.
Language
English
Class schedule

 Class schedule HW assignments (Including preparation and review of the class.) Amount of Time Required
1. Microfluidic Device Design
(Assoc. Prof. N. Futai)
The main content is experiencing flow/diffusion simulations (using ANSYS/Fluent) of the sperm sorter, one of typical and famous microfluidic devices. Basics in various microfluidic devices, typical fabrication processes, and the background and the operational principle of the sperm sorter will be reviewed beforehand. 		Report preparation 190minutes
2. Active control of fluid flow (Prof. K. Tsunoda)
Basics of a flow control method will be discussed. 		Report preparation 190minutes
3. Non-intrusive flow measurements (Prof. Y. Yahagi)
Measuring the velocity or flow rate without disturbing the flow to be measured. Ultrasounds are successfully used. 		Report preparation 190minutes
4. Scale effects of hydrodynamics and heat transfer
(Assoc. Prof. M. Tange)
Governing equations of heat transfer are overviewed and its scale effects are discussed especially in microscale phenomena. 		Report preparation 190minutes
5. Electrostatic separation (Prof. M. Saeki)
The electrostatic separation technique for recycling and food safety is overviewed. 		Report preparation 190minutes
6. The advanced control theory and applications related robotics (Prof. Y. Uchimura) Report preparation 190minutes
7. Recent topic about solid mechanics (Assoc. Prof. K. Sakaue) Report preparation 190minutes
8. Fundamentals of Optics and Applications (Prof. J. Yamada)
Emission of radiation, electromagnetic waves and its interference, scattering by small particles will be discussed.

Application of Radiation Transfer for Biomedical and Cosmetics Fields (Dr. T. Kono)
Radiation transfer is one of a form of heat transfer. In recent years, this radiation transfer is expected to be applied not only to heat but also to various fields. In this class, I introduce some applications of radiation transfer and our laboratory, so that you will learn the foundation of radiation. 		Report preparation 190minutes
9. Fluid dynamics in gas phase chemical reactions and aerosol technology (Prof. Y. Suwa) Report preparation 190minutes
Bring a scientific calculator. 0minutes
10. Topics on strength evaluation of materials by loading type. (Prof. T. Utsunomiya)
The simple material tests using light material and comparison method of tensile and bending strength will be discussed. 		Review of tensile test and three-point bending test. 190minutes
Bring a scientific calculator.
11. Laser Precise Microfabrication (Prof. S. Matsuo)
Materials processing techniques using lasers will be introduced, especially micro to nanometer scale techniques. 		Report preparation 190minutes
12. Title to be announced (Prof. Y. Ishii) Report preparation 190minutes
13. Presentation method and 1st review on the presentation

Introduction to Turbulent Flows (Assoc. Prof. K. Shirai)
Fundamental aspects of turbulent flows is lectured based on phenomenological and statistical points of view. Applications and research challenges on turbulent flows will be introduced.

Evaluation method and criteria
Students should submit a report on the topics each instructor assigns by one week after each lecture. The reports contribute 50%.
There will be two presentations on “advanced topics relevant to mechanical engineering”. Both presentations should cover the same topics: the second (final) presentation (contributes 30%) should be an improvement of the first one (contributes 20%).

This course will give a pass mark (60 points) to students who have successfully submitted all reports and gave two presentations of appropriate perfection levels.

Any student failed to submit four or more of after-lecture reports will receive NO credit.
Any student skipping any of presentations will receive NO credit.
Textbooks and reference materials
No textbook required.
Prerequisites
