Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:
The role of solids in electronic devices is very crucial. In classes, we will introduce the properties of dielectric and magnetic materials in addition to the nature of electrons in metals.
Style:
The first part of classes will be taught in a lecture style to explain the outline. Then, each student will self-study. There will be a quiz at the end.
Notice:
Because the class will handle various phenomena qualitatively, a mathematical foundation until the third year is essential. Also, be sure to review each time as new content will keep coming up. 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 self-study time required for pre-study / review, and completing assignment reports. Student who fail to get a perfect score in quizzes will be given additional assignment reports.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for a passing grade.
