The Department of Comprehensive Science and Engineering, Faculty of Science and Technology, Meisei University has six specialized fields such as physics, life science and chemistry, and opens an event to introduce each research theme to high school students in an easy-to-understand manner through a VR (Virtual Reality) system. It is carried out on campus.
On July 2017, 7, Meisei University will hold a VR experience event that introduces the research contents of the Faculty of Science and Engineering, Department of Comprehensive Science and Engineering, which is difficult to understand just by reading the brochures such as university guides, to high school students in an easy-to-understand manner through VR using vision and body. Started from the open campus of.
<Research themes of 6 departments of comprehensive science and engineering that you can experience VR on an open campus>
・ Physics system "solar system planet model"
・ Life science / chemical system "Into carbon nanotubes"
・ Mechanical engineering "Air flow around the aircraft"
・ Electronics and electrical engineering "The world of the earth's surface as seen from artificial satellites"
・ Architecture "Movement of light in the room, building-like model"
・ Environmental science "Air pollution across national borders"
In addition, through this VR experience, open labs and individual consultation meetings are also held at the same time so that high school students can deepen their understanding of the academic fields that they are interested in.
Tatsuya Sakurai, Associate Professor, Department of Comprehensive Science and Engineering (Environmental Science), Faculty of Science and Technology, Meisei University, who is in charge of the VR experience event, said, "In the world of science and engineering, experiments and simulation analysis are two wheels of research tools. At the open campus of the university, experiments can be experienced in an open lab, and simulations can be experienced in this VR. Please come and see the fascinating world of research! "
The next and subsequent open campuses (Hino Campus) of Meisei University are scheduled for July 2017, 7, August 30, and August 8, 6.No reservation required and admission is free.The holding time is from 8:27 to 10:00 (reception starts at 14:30).
