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.

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.
Feedback on exams, assignments, etc.
ways of feedback specific contents about "Other"
Textbooks and reference materials
No specific textbook is required. Reference material will be provided by each lecturer.
Prerequisites
