Creating the “superior vehicles” of the future
Become the next generation mobility engineer
In our daily lives, we use vehicles such as cars, buses, and trains to move around comfortably. As interest in SDGs increases, let's think together about what kind of "excellent vehicles" will be in the future that focus on the sustainability of the earth. For example, you can study a wide range of transportation machinery mechanisms and power systems, with a focus on automobile engineering and railway engineering, such as cars that run on ultra-low fuel consumption and 100% renewable energy, high-speed railways that enable safe, punctual, and mass transportation, and flying vehicles. , let's create the future of transportation.
01
A small class with a future perspective
Theory/practical learning
We place emphasis on learning through practical training and fieldwork, and you can choose practical subjects from your first year. You can learn a good balance of theory and practicality, and explore the possibilities of Society 5.0 by changing your perspective from transportation to mobility.
02
Vehicles, simulators, etc.
Full of facilities and equipment
It is equipped with facilities and equipment that are rare to find in a university facility, such as a chassis dynamometer and a wind tunnel experiment unit. Experience a powerful class in which you observe phenomena that occur in vehicles and wings, and measure and experiment with driving performance.
03
tailored to interests
Course selection
In addition to the automotive engineering course, we also offer railway engineering and transportation engineering courses, which are rare and valuable at domestic universities. Choose a course with your future in mind, such as the Automotive Engineering course, which allows you to qualify for the second-class automobile mechanic examination upon graduation.
Automotive engineering course
The subject of study is specialized in automobiles. Upon graduation, you will be eligible to take the national qualification for second-class automobile mechanic. The national exam pass rate is almost 100% every year!
Railway engineering course
This is the only course in Japan where you can learn about railway vehicle design. Learn railway engineering from the basics and put it into practice through field work. My goal is to work in railway operation, management, and vehicle design and manufacturing!
Transportation machinery course
A course to learn a wide range of vehicles. Aim to become an engineer who can contribute to safety and environmental conservation by learning welfare equipment, environmental engineering, design theory, etc.!

About my favorite railway
An environment where you can learn thoroughly.
Our department is one of the few learning environments in Japan that specializes in transportation machinery, and University General Library is stocked with valuable literature such as books on wheels. From the second year onwards, students are divided into an automobile course and a railway course to enhance their specialization. You can learn intuitively by applying physics and mathematics, and there are also fun experiments and training about railway bogies and ride comfort. In addition, many of our teachers have worked in railway companies, and they are happy to advise you on career options. In the future, I would like to pursue the research theme of railway wheel wear in Osaka Sangyo University Graduate School.

Necessary for car manufacturing
Acquire practical knowledge.
This department, where you can study automotive engineering, was perfect for me as I love cars. During the practical training, you can experience disassembling and assembling a car while looking at the details of the brakes and engine. Particularly impressive was the ``Student Formula Project'' to build racing cars. I learned business etiquette by working as an external relations officer, and was able to participate in company information sessions sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan, which was useful for my job hunting. I would like to make use of what I have learned at my job offer and make my dream of supporting logistics through manufacturing come true.

Railway Engineering Laboratory
While focusing on issues in boundary areas, such as the impact of the aerodynamic effects of high-speed railway vehicles on the railway-side environment, we also focus on issues such as running safety, ride comfort, driving in snowy conditions, driver support, and LRT. They are very greedy and cover a wide range of areas.
Transportation Human Interface Laboratory
We are working on research on interface technology to solve problems between people and transportation machines that may arise in 10 years, and on educational methods to make transportation machines more familiar to humans.

Aspirations for the maintenance industry
What I was able to grasp in that hand was
I entered this department through a recommendation from a working adult, and in addition to my experience working at a company related to railway vehicle manufacturing, I wanted to acquire specialized knowledge and skills in transportation equipment. As I worked on my graduation research, my interests expanded to include unknown fields, and I developed the habit of taking the initiative in researching them. Although I had a difficult time job hunting for the type of job I wanted, Career Center taught me tips on self-evaluation and how to appeal, and as I continued to prepare for interviews, I was able to receive offers from many companies. I will continue to study hard to reach my goals.
