The Division aims to contribute to the highly advanced Japanese industrial development and the consequent mankind happiness of globalized society by these scientific research activities and technological developments.

In recent years, the Division extends toward the various fields such as the extremely minimized structure science consisting of nano- and micro-scaled components, biomechancis with open system for the living body and so on. It has also being pushing the academic integration from the viewpoints of multi-scale and multi-physics modelings.
