Professor / Ikuo TANABE
Professor Tanabe gives unique advice and supplies communication skills that will prepare you for your future as an engineer in Japan and abroad. The research areas covered at this laboratory contribute to the manufacturing research field in relevant areas such as neural network analysis and new machining cooling methods. This laboratory is cutting-edge due to its uniqueness and originality.
Research Content
Research done at our laboratory focuses on contributing to the improvement of manufacturing through productivity enhanced machining processes, quality engineering software and many more. Because of this the work done at our laboratory can be classified into two big areas: experiment-centered and desk work-centered research. In the case of the experiment-centered research, CAD design and FEM analyses are done in order to create new experiment devices. These devices are then manufactured at the NUT Machining Center and experiments are subsequently carried out. In the case of desk work-centered research, students carry out programming, development and evaluation of software using C-language.

A Day in the Lab
Students can do research planning and experiments at their very own pace. Our laboratory does not have morning seminar, evening seminar or research core time. The reason for this is that students must independently plan their schedules so that research milestones and deadlines are met on time. Here, personal progress reports are expected by Professor Tanabe at least one time per week. Based on this personalized meetings, that involve discussion and feedback, students can plan the best course of action to improve their research methods and results. Advice is always available so that researches advance in the right direction.
