Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:
The aim is to be able to calculate the strength of structural and mechanical components and to evaluate the strength of these components, as well as to be able to independently and continuously learn related matters, and to conduct logical thinking and technical discussions.
Style:
Pre-study the textbook and example problems before classs. After the instructor explains the key points of the study material at the beginning of the class, students will have a group discussion. They are also expected to raise questions and unclear points to the instructor for explanation. Work in groups on the exercise assignments prepared by the instructor.
Notice:
This course's content will amount to 90 hours of study in total. These hours include the learning time guaranteed in classes and the standard study time required for pre-study / review, and completing assignment reports. Try to think and understand yourself. Actively work on the exercise assignments. Actively participate in group discussions and contribute to the group's learning activities during class hours.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for evaluation.
