Teaching Method
Outline:
Inorganic materials, such as ceramics, have a wide variety of advantages and functionalities and are widely used in our daily lives. In this lecture, we will focus on the morphology of inorganic materials, explore the origin of such advantages and functionality, and learn about cutting-edge applications. Since the functionality of materials is closely related to the processing methods that impart form, some of the topics covered in "Materials Processing" will also be included. The goal of this course is to provide students with the basic knowledge and skills to become practical engineers, while considering how to apply their previous knowledge in examining the functionality and utilization of inorganic materials.
Style:
The lecture will be given mainly using slides and writable worksheets, so there is no need to prepare notes or other materials. The lecture will be conducted by showing actual cases and concrete examples as much as possible.
【30 hrs of class time + 60 hrs of self-study】
Notice:
This course is a subject corresponding to the sub-major, and students will use the basic knowledge and concepts learned in chemistry, physics, and mathematics in general education to understand the functionality of various materials and the nature of phenomena. In addition, since manaba will be used for reviewing lectures and submitting assignments, students are required to have an Internet connection via PC or mobile terminal.
