Teaching Method

Outline:

Students will deepen their understanding of what they learned in lecture subjects by actually conducting experimental exercises and learning how to write experiment reports. In addition, we acquire knowledge about equipment of control system which is required engineering.

Style:

In class, students will be divided into four groups, and each group conducts on all themes. Each student writes his or her own report for each experiment.

Notice:

Students should not be late. Students must attend wearing clothes that are easy to work in. In addition, students must bring writing tools, experiment notes, function calculators, etc.　Can take makeup exam in need aid up to maximum of 60 points.
