Teaching Method

Outline:

General or Specialized :Specialized
Field of learning : Measurement and Control,Energy
Foundational academic disciplines : Engineering / Electrical and electronic engineering / Measurement engineering

Relationship with Educational Objectives :
This class is equivalent to "(3) Acquire deep foundation knowledge of the major subject area".

Relationship with JABEE programs :
The main goal of learning / education in this class are"(A)", A-2.

Course outline :
Lectures on measurement methods compared to the standard (unit system) are conducted. Explains how to handle the uncertainty that appears in the measurements. The precautions for accurate measurement are explained.

Style:

Course method :
Classes are mainly conducted on the blackboard.Exercises will be given as appropriate.

Grade evaluation method :
Exams (６0%) +Practice problems (４0%).
Examinations will be conducted a total of 4 times, and the evaluation ratios will be the same. Retaking an exam will be conducted as needed.Evaluation of retaken exam will be explain on the class.You will be instructed if you can bring your textbooks and notebooks to the exam each time.

Notice:

Precautions on the enrollment :
This is a "class that requires study outside of class hours". Classes are offered for 15 hours per credit, but 30 credit hours are required in addition to this. Follow the instructions of your instructor for these studies.

Course advice :
In experiments and graduation thesis, it is also a subject to learn measurement engineering practically, so take it while paying attention to the measurement technology.

Foundational subjects :Fundamentals of Integrated Science and Technology(1st year), Mechatronics Ⅰ(3rd)
Related subjects :Graduation Thesis(5th year)

Attendance advice :
Task will be conducted at the beginning of the class. If you are late for the start time, you will not be able to work on the task.
