Learning purposes : Understand atoms and atomic physics, particle physics, and earth science, and solve related problems. Students will also learn about the astronomical "nature and evolution of stars" as a space field under the advanced science program's slogan "Science education that covers a wide range from life to space."

Course Objective :
1. Understand the basics of particle physics and solve related problems.
2. Understand the contents of earth science and solve related problems.
3. Understand the contents of atoms and atomic physics and solve related problems.
4. Understand the contents of the astronomical "characteristics and evolution of stars" and solve related problems.

Teaching Method

Outline:

General or Specialized : Specialized

Field of learning : Physics

Required, Elective, etc. : Required subjects to take

Basic disciplines: Mathematical science / physics / general physics

Relationship with Educational Objectives : This subject is equivalent to the learning and education goal "(2) Acquisition of solid basic science knowledge".

Relationship with JABEE programs : The main goal of learning or education in this subject is "(A) Deepening of basic knowledge about technology, A-1: Acquiring knowledge in a wide range of natural sciences as basic knowledge about engineering, and can be explained. "

Class outline : Learn about atoms, nuclei, and elementary particles, and complete the content corresponding to the high school physics course. It also focuses on earth science and astronomical "stellar properties and evolution." Perform exercises on end-of-chapter questions to ensure knowledge.

Style:

Course method:
Lecture-style lessons are conducted. In the handouts exercises and the end-of-chapter exercises, the questions are assigned in advance, so the students are asked to write on the board before the class starts, and the class is developed accordingly.

Grade evaluation method:
Exams (50%) + Exercises (50%) .
Supplementary classes and re-taking exams will be imposed on those with poor grades, and the results of the regular exam will be replaced with a maximum of 60 points.

Notice:

Precautions on the enrollment :
Students must take this class (the number of absentee hours is less than one-third of the prescribed number of class hours).

Course advice :
Read the textbook well. Also, be sure to submit the assignment report by the deadline.

Basic subjects :
Physics I (1 year), Physics II (2), Fundamentals of Integreted Science and Technology (1), Electrical and Electronic Circuits (2), Basic Mathematics (1), Differental and Integral I (2)

Related subjects :
Mechanics I (3rd year), Mechanics (3), Mechanics (3), Introduction to Electromagnetism (3), Introduction to Thermodynamics (3), Physics Exercise (3)

Attendance advice :
Calculate and understand the mathematical formulas. If students are operating e-mail etc. during class, may be asked to leave the room. If student join the class starts within 25 minutes, it will be lateness, and 3 times lateness will result in 1 absence.
