Teaching Method

Outline:

Experiments will be carried out in accordance with the contents of the lectures on Geotechnical engineering and Hydraulics, which will begin in year 3. Bring the contents of the lectures into shape through experiments, and have a practical and deeper understanding. Experiments (classes) in Geotechnical engineering and Hydraulics will be put in two groups. They will be conducted concurrently.

Style:

With the exception of week 1 (Nabeshima's class) and week 2 (Kanda's class), experiments (classes) in Geotechnical engineering and Hydraulics are conducted in two groups concurrently every week. Students will take one of the two classes in turns.
In Kanda's class, there will be three experiments in one class. Students will make a presentation on the details of their experiments in class the following week.

Notice:

Properly understand the goals of the experiments and carry out the experiments with great care using a method that is appropriate to the objectives. It is important to learn the methods of experiments through data collection, experiment exercises, and theoretical analysis, and to be ready to solve problems on a voluntary basis for each experiment assignment.
Students who miss 1/5 or more of classes will not be eligible for evaluation.
