Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:
The goal of this course is to acquire the ability to solve new problems practically while understanding and confirming the knowledge and techniques of electrical information acquired so far through experimental themes. Furthermore, the course requires students to submit reports on each theme, in order to help them learn necessary writing expressions for scientific reports. The experiments will be conducted by groups, to help students develop autonomy, coordination, planning, and leadership. Inoue and Nakai will be in charge of information-related activities, Hirano will be in charge of measurement-related activities, Nomura and Terazawa will be in charge of FPGA-related activities, Terazawa will be in charge of microcomputer-related activities. In the network experiment, faculty members with practical experience in router and other network equipment development will utilize their experience in experiments on the configuration of the equipment and the construction of a LAN. The experiments in weeks 9 to 12 of the first semester and week 9 of the second semester will be supervised by persons engaged in the development of electronic devices and other activities in a company.
Style:
Students will conduct experiments on themes closely related to the electrical and electronic fields, such as information technology, FPGAs, and microcomputers, in groups of four to five, and submit a report on them.
They will actively conduct experiments give, based on their own necessary preparation and pre-study, and guidance provided on the spot by the instructor of the experiment.
In the information engineering experiment, faculty members with practical experience in router and other network equipment development will utilize their experience in experiments on the configuration of the equipment and the construction of a LAN.
Notice:
If all reports have not been received by the due date, students will not receive a passing grade. Students must clean the lab and put away the equipment. Precautions regarding the experiments will be given during the first week of the first and second semesters. Students have to participate in all experiments.
Students will not be graded unless they have participated in all experiments.
