MM physical mathematics / MM physics / MM modern physics / MM
chemistry
  At this novel MM (Multi-Media) I lecture students learn, study and do small computer 
experiments by themselves using a simulation software during the lecture time. The lecture 
has the aim to learn essential elementary knowledge in physics chemistry, and mathematics 
(especially, the differential and integral equations) from repeating high school knowledge up 
to the most advanced research in university. These lectures in physics, chemistry and 
differential and integral calculations are held under the assumption that such knowledge has 
been learned already in high school times. In this way, the MM I lecture depends on the 
scholarship at the university entrance test, or in other words it might happen that the 
progress of this lecture corresponding to the ability of each student. 

Physics
  The basics of momentum dynamics, work, universal gravitation mechanics and electric 
fields, electric current, electric power, and electromagnetism are studied. Essential physics, 
which is necessary to understand various phenomena in natural science, is also the base of 
engineering. 

Chemistry 
  The essential base of chemistry, as the formation and structure of materials and their 
chemical reactions are the subjects of this lecture. Also, by learning systematically the 
development process of chemistry unto modern chemistry, the relationship between 
humans and chemistry can be understood. 

Differential and integral calculations
  Limited to one-parametric differential and integral calculations, and easy to understand 
even for students poor in calculations, this lecture explains the stuff carefully from the 
basics. Half of the classes practice actually solving of problems, so the calculation ability of 
elementary up to problems in the special subject are developed. 

Physical chemistry
  Considering for example the problem of physical chemistry “How is a chemical balance 
decided?”, we go through the elementary theory of thermodynamics and learn the basics of 
atomic and molecular states and equilibrium conditions of various materials. 

Microstructure of metals
  Similar as a screwdriver is necessary for turning a screw, for studying metals the phase 
diagrams are necessary. The explanations are easy to understand from basics even to 
applications and are cross-linked to the latest research result. 

Material physics
  The basis of the physical properties which are connected to various phenomena of 
materials is learned. This lecture focuses on dislocation theory, which is the base for further 
learning. 

Material mechanics
  This subject is the basic subject for mechanical engineering. Assuming that various 
mechanical forces act on a solid body, the stress and deformation according to Hook’s law 
are examined. 

Material chemistry
  Basics of the high-temperature resistant, acid and alkali resistant alloys are learned. 

Metallography
  Iron, which is the base of many industries, related metals as well as non-iron metals are 
essential materials to produce cars, railways, aircrafts, ships, rockets, space ships, and so 
on. Such materials are lectured in detail with presenting latest application examples.

Ceramics
  Ceramics known for their hardness and heat resistance are used as heat insulating tiles 
for the space shuttle. Also, superconducting ceramics known for their permanent electric 
current when once charged, are explained. We learn also about actual secrets which 
supports high technology.

Polymers
  Basics of daily used polymers, such as supermarket shopping bags and others, are 
explained. Recent concerns about environmental compatibility are also touched. 

Aviation engine materials
  The performance of jet engines, which are the heart of any aircraft for example the 
Jumbo jet, are improved year by year. In fact, it is the progress of the engine component 
materials which supports the performance improvement.

Aviation and astronautic functional materials
  Concerning the investment goods, Japan produces 40% to 60% of the world’s materials 
and parts of aircraft components. Materials which are the “motor” for the aircraft industry 
are for example shape memory alloys, magnetostriction materials, shape memory ceramics, 
functional ceramics, ceramic sensors, piezoelectric vibration absorbing materials, shock 
absorbing material, solar cell materials, opto-electronic glass fiber pipe, functional liquid 
crystals, liquid crystal polymers, carbon fibers, ceramics engine parts, (Al / Mg) -Li light-
weight alloys, turbine blade material. For future journeys to planets nuclear fusion materials 
for high-speed engines are necessary. 

Functional materials
  Functional materials play an active role as key materials for advanced science such as 
magnetic materials, superconductors, shape memory alloys. This lecture explains 
consequently the steps, when a material with a new function is introduced, until the 
mechanism of movement is used for application. 

Aviation and astronautics science and engineering special lecture
  In various fields of science, approaches have been made to utilize our universe. This 
lecture given by experts in different fields of science and focus especially on the possibility 
of present and future experiments of using zero gravity which acts in the space shuttle or 
space station. 

Engine materials
  Combustion engines are the central part of the car, the most popular land transportation 
tool. The structure of the engine and their materials cross-linked with the application needs 
are explained in detail. (This lecture is presented by teachers of the department of prime 
movers.)

Sports and medical materials special lecture
  The opportunities to reconsider human lifestyle, like environment, health, and social 
welfare is increasing . Present existing technology, and the three pillars of future based 
technology, bio technology, information technology and new materials technology are being 
expected to solve these problems. Especially, Japanese material development and 
production technology maintains the world-leading level and contributes to the modern 
society with investment goods, which are the source for the wealthy life. In particular, 
materials for sports goods as sunglasses or for skiing, tennis, golf, tracking, swimming, marine, 
racing and medical applications (MRI、micro-machine, drug delivery, electro-magnetic wave 
protection, wigs, contact lenses, lenses, artificial bones, artificial skin, blood vessel, artificial 
internal organs, mechanical heart, and pacemaker are studied. 

material engineering special lecture
  In a joint lecture of different specialists (omnibus) from outside of the university, advanced 
material engineering focused on structural materials is learned. 

Construction materials
  Among the three necessities of life, food, clothes and living, this lecture focuses on the 
component of construction materials for living. (This lecture is held by professors of 
building and architecture engineering department.)

Environmental materials
 (This lecture is held by professors of energy engineering department.)

Aircraft body composite materials
 Fiber reinforce composite materials means strengthening of plastics, metals, and ceramics 
by high-strength carbon fibers, and are called FPP, FRP and CMC. Recently, light-weighted 
heat-resistant materials became important and we learn about these high-strength 
materials in particular. 

Aircraft body light metals
  Aircraft bodies, rockets, space-shuttles, space stations consist of light metals, such as 
Aluminum, Magnesium, Titan, and their alloys and we learn about their basics.
