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

University Location: the Hamamatsu Area, Home to World-Class Companies
Shizuoka University has two main campuses, the
Shizuoka campus and the Hamamatsu campus. The
Graduate School of Engineering and the Faculty of
Engineering are located at the Hamamatsu campus.
The Hamamatsu area is well known as an industrial area
and a number of world famous companies are based in
Hamamatsu. What is it about Hamamatsu city and its
neighboring cities that facilitated their development? All
of the factors necessary for business growth are present
in Hamamatsu: a central location in Japan near its major
cities, and the “yaramaika,” or adventurous, spirit that
provides support for the development of new businesses.
The Hamamatsu area has been a manufacturing hotbed
of musical instruments, motorcycles, and textiles. More
recently,
the automobile, optics, and electronics
industries have rapidly developed, leading to the
creation of strong networks comprised of big business
plus small and medium size venture companies that
possess unique or outstanding technologies in their
fields. In addition to these leading technology clusters in
fields such as optics, electronics and transportation
vehicles, there are efforts to speed up the forging of links
between the engineering industry and fields such as
aerospace, medicine and agriculture.
Shizuoka University’s Faculty of Engineering has grown
with the companies in Hamamatsu area and it has
contributed to the development of the Hamamatsu area.
Today, the faculty continues to participate in these
clusters and to aid these companies’ in their global
approach.
