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.

Class schedule

 Class schedule HW assignments (Including preparation and review of the class.) Amount of Time Required
1. Syllabus overview
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.

Preparation:
Bring your preliminary version of the presentation. The presentation will be checked. 		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

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 a presentation on “advanced topics relevant to mechanical engineering” that contributes 50%.

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.
