The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers
was founded in 1897 to "advance science
and technology, and thereby contribute to
the development of industries." Today,
its membership exceeds 37,000, making it
the nation's leading engineering society.
Members acquire
advanced technical knowledge and are introduced to new fields through
discussions that focus on their own specialties as well as a variety of
interdisciplinary areas. Hailing from a vast range of companies,
universities, and government institutions, the members constitute a
unique research community that is constantly engaged in the exchange of
technical information and knowledge. Young students, well-trained
engineers, and leading researchers all combine to make the JSME a
dynamic pioneer in the new scientific and engineering ideas and
activities of today's rapidly changing world.
Today, highly
advanced technologies such as mechatronics, new energy sources,
biotechnology, and new specialized materials are becoming vital
elements for industries and economies. These key technologies are
created and developed by people who can envision tomorrow's social
needs --by those possessed of keen sensibility and intelligence. Thus,
we at the JSME will continue to offer ever-broader opportunities for
interdisciplinary meetings to all mechanical engineers and researchers.
