Assigned Department Objectives
Teaching Method
Outline:
The goal of this course is to understand properties of construction materials for the building of social infrastructure facilities, and acquire the knowledge to select and use appropriate materials.
Style:
The overall evaluations will be based 60% on periodic exams, 30% on exercises and reports, 10% on attitude toward class activities. Students who achieve 60% or above is evaluated to have the basic knowledge of construction materials, and can pass the course. The content of reports must show the level of understanding of the properties of each construction material, and must also satisfy precautions for taking this course.
Notice:
Various construction materials will be introduced, and students must pre-study and review to make sure they organize their understanding. Students should put effort to understand how construction materials are used in a familiar environment.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for evaluation.
