Faculty of Engineering

The Faculty of Engineering and Graduate School of Engineering are actively engaged in education, research, and socialcollaboration with the goals of developing excellent researchers and engineers in technological fields, expanding our researchlocally and globally, and contributing to society and industry. To achieve these goals, we introduced our new Faculty ofEngineering and Graduate School of Engineering in April 2013. Our renewed undergraduate and graduate programs in theDepartments of Mechanical Engineering and of Electric and Electronic Engineering, and the graduate program in the BusinessDevelopment & Management specialty have had many achievements since their inception. We have also added graduate andundergraduate programs in the new Department of Electronics and Materials Science, which studies electronic and energymaterials, the Department of Applied Chemistry and Biochemical Engineering, which studies environmental engineering andbioengineering, and the Department of Mathematical and Systems Engineering, which studies the creation of human andenvironment friendly systems.In our rapidly changing society, the Faculty of Engineering and Graduate School of Engineering continue to foster creativeresearchers and engineers, drive research that leads to the generation of new industries, and actively wrestle with solutions toglobal problems. In Hamamatsu, in the western part of Shizuoka Prefecture, the home of the Faculty of Engineering and GraduateSchool of Engineering, we have a saying, ‘yaramaika,’ which means ‘to actively attempt new endeavors.’ This area has producedmany founders of automobile companies such as Toyota, Honda, and Suzuki. They kept the ‘yaramaika’ spirit, and have led theJapanese manufacturing industry for a long time. The researchers and engineers graduating from Shizuoka University play centralroles in those companies.We continue to develop our original and highly admired educational program that prioritizes practical science (scholarship neededin the real world) that persistently focuses on the manufacturing industry, and to train excellent researchers and engineers whocan take on the task of innovation in various industrial fields.

History of the Faculty of Engineering & the Hamamatsu Campus

Shizuoka University has two main campuses, theShizuoka campus and the Hamamatsu campus. TheGraduate School of Engineering and the Faculty ofEngineering are located at the Hamamatsu campus.

The Hamamatsu area is well known as an industrial areaand a number of world famous companies are based inHamamatsu. What is it about Hamamatsu city and itsneighboring cities that facilitated their development? Allof the factors necessary for business growth are presentin Hamamatsu: a central location in Japan near its majorcities, and the “yaramaika,” or adventurous, spirit thatprovides support for the development of new businesses.

The Hamamatsu area has been a manufacturing hotbedof musical instruments, motorcycles, and textiles. Morerecently, the automobile, optics, and electronicsindustries have rapidly developed, leading to thecreation of strong networks comprised of big businessplus small and medium size venture companies thatpossess unique or outstanding technologies in theirfields. In addition to these leading technology clusters infields such as optics, electronics and transportationvehicles, there are efforts to speed up the forging of linksbetween the engineering industry and fields such asaerospace, medicine and agriculture.

Shizuoka University’s Faculty of Engineering has grownwith the companies in Hamamatsu area and it hascontributed to the development of the Hamamatsu area.Today, the faculty continues to participate in theseclusters and to aid these companies’ in their globalapproach.

University Location: the Hamamatsu Area, Home to World-Class Companies

The world's first television experiment byProfessor Kenjiro TakayanagiThe world's first electronic television experiment was carried out in1926 by Professor Kenjiro Takayanagi at Hamamatsu Technical HighSchool, which was the predecessor of Shizuoka University. Hesucceeded in displaying an " " (the Japanese character for thesound /i/) with a display method using a cathode ray tube.Afterwards, Professor Takayanagiproduced a variety of results, playinga leading technical role in thedevelopment of the television.His achievements were praised,and chosen as part of an IEEEMilestone.

About Hamamatsu

Hamamatsu is located in almost the center of Japan. As it is close toNagoya, and located midway between Tokyo and Osaka, all three ofthese major metropolitan areas are readily accessible.

Hamamatsu’s population is approximately 820,000.

Its climate is relatively mild throughout the year. In winter, it is not socold, and snow seldom falls, except for near the mountain. However, itis often windy because of the seasonal north west wind.

A rainy season occurs from June to early July. In summer, the weatheris hot and humid. Sometimes the temperature exceeds 35 C (95 F).
