Teaching Method

Outline:

In this course, students will experience cooperation, work distribution, and administrative roles through group work, and will foster their ability to solve problems in engineering design in a practical manner. In the process of working on a task, they will widely develop the relevant knowledge through assembling equipment, handling devices, and investigating performance, etc. to foster creativity through engineering design assignments.

Style:

They will apply their knowledge of the fields of their Advanced Course study and conduct creative experiments and exercises for assignments under the faculty in charge. Students will form groups of around 4 members from different Advanced Courses and work on the assignment. After the assignment theme is presented and explanations on basic knowledge, etc. are given, students will conduct all of the Plan-Do-See activities in groups within the given time and submit a report. Results will be presented verbally in the discussion and presentation session.

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 self-study time required for pre-study / review, and completing assignment reports. Students will be divided into groups during guidance.
Students who miss 1/5 or more of classes will not be eligible for a passing grade.
