(1) Understand the principles and procedures of each experiment, and can carry out experiments based on tutorials and instructions.
(2) Can operate equipment and devices correctly and safely to obtain data based on tutorials and instructions.
(3) Can logically examine the validity of experimental data, and compile, analyze, and examine experimental data.
(4) Can report in writing, orally, etc.
(5) Can work together as a group and actively contribute to experiments and exercises to fulfill their responsibilities.
Outline:
Students will experiential learn the fundamentals of physics and their applications to engineering. In addition, through experiments, students will learn how to quantify phenomena using measuring instruments, analyze and examine phenomena theoretically, and communicate them through writing (experimental reports).
Style:
Classes consist of the general guidance and four themed experiments carried out by multiple groups in turn. The order of practice content shown in the Course Plan is a typical example.
The course involves lessons and experiments taught by four instructors.
Kunimine will teach eight experiments; Kato two guidance sessions and eight experiments; Iwano: two guidance sessions; and Tanaka two guidance sessions.
Notice:
(1) As this course uses the study content of dynamics (Science I to III) and mathematics (Mathematics I to III), it's recommended to review them accordingly.
(2) Read the experimental tutorials thoroughly in advance, to fully understand the content of the experiment before working on an experiment.
(3) As it's an experiment subject learned empirically, it's prerequisite that students attend classes. In order to earn the credit, students must conduct all experiments and submit reports.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for a passing grade.
