1) Understand that design activities in a broad sense are an important and major part of building a production system. Comprehensibly understand the concepts and methods of specific function deployment, focusing on mechanical and electrical elements, when the required function that is the starting point for design activities has been provided or found by oneself.
2) Have the skills to be able to embody the above in 1).
3) Acquire skills through reports and lectures to be able to design from a comprehensive and broad perspective, since this course's content falls within part of basic engineering and within the basic background knowledge that forms the basis of combined fields (mechanical and electronic systems).
Outline:
In order to produce products, engineers need extensive knowledge and information.
Manufacturing requires an understanding of manufacturing systems (production systems), with a focus on design in a broad sense, that starts with identifying the customer needs.
This course features lectures focused on how to design in a broad sense, which is an important and major part of building a production system, and aims to acquire the knowledge concerned with this.
This course will be taught by faculty members who have been responsible for planning, design (design in a broad sense), etc. in a company and will make use of their experiences.
Style:
The goal is to learn the way of thinking needed for the practical design of the design process' key parts.
In the first half, lectures will be conducted mainly using textbooks, and in the second half, handouts will be distributed as necessary.
To ensure that the course content is both understood and learned, students should pre-study and review each lesson.
In addition, in order to enhance understanding toward a comprehensive and broad manufacturing, students will be given report assignments on themes including social issues as well as design. They must submit all assignments.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for a passing grade.
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.
Overall evaluation formula: Grade (marks out of 100) = Exam (midterm) × 0.4 + Exam (final) × 0.4 + Report (marks out of 20)
