Introduction to Division of Energy and Environmental Systems
Sustainable energy systems which can supply long-term energy without serious
burdens are essential for the modern life. The accident at the Fukushima-Daiichi
nuclear power plant has initiated much discussion on future energy systems.
We also face the carbon neutral society toward 2050. As a division, we
contribute to the development of advanced energy systems through research
on hydrogen fuel cells, next-generation engine systems, and innovative
device for measurement and control of thermo-fluid phenomena. In addition,
we continue to be engaged in research on the evolution and development
of future nuclear energy technologies including innovative nuclear systems,
nuclear power plant safety, reactor physics, and the long-term management
of radioactive waste.
Our mission is to educate students to become leaders in the field of energy
systems engineering and operations and contribute to the future energy
needs of our society through innovative design and research. Our students
learn the latest experimental and analytical techniques and computer simulations
using advanced programming techniques. We offer a comprehensive engineering
education with courses related to renewable/advanced/nuclear energy systems
including: thermal system engineering, fluid mechanics, fluid informatics,
energy conversion and environment technology, energy instrumentation, heat
transfer, nuclear reactor theory, nuclear power system safety, nuclear
reactor engineering, nuclear and various energy materials, nuclear fuel
cycle, fuel production and conversion engineering
