Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:
General or Specialized : Specialized

Field of learning : Experiment and Practice

Required, Elective, etc. : Required subjects

Basic disciplines: Mathematical science / physics / general physics

Relationship with Educational Objectives :

This course is a course to further promote "(3) Specialized knowledge" and "(6) Ability to take action".

Relationship with JABEE programs : The main goal of learning or education in this subject is "(A) Deepening of basic knowledge about technology, A-2 : Can acquire and explain knowledge in specialized technical fields".

Class outline : Deepen the understanding of physics knowledge learned so far through experiments. Learn measurement technology, handling experimental data, organizing measurement results, and creating reports.
Style:
Course method:
Divide into groups of 4 to 5 students and perform experiments on 11 themes. Organize the experimental results, examine and consider them, make a experimantal report, and submit it to the teacher in class.

Grade evaluation method:
Experiment report (80%) + Attendance status and class attitude (20%).
Regarding the experiment report, if there is no problem, it will be about 85 points, and points will be deducted depending on the content and submission status. Of course, there are points to be added to excellent experimental reports.
Notice:
Precautions on the enrollment :
Since this course is mainly for practical skills, student must takethis class (the number of absent hours is less than one-third of the prescribed number of class hours) and acquire credit in order to complete the course of the academic year.

Course advice :
Bring a calculator and a lab notebook. Student may also bring your own PC for data organization and report creation.

Basic subjects :
Physics I (1st year), Physics II (2), Experiments in Science (2), Dynamics I・II・III (3) General Physics (3), Mathematics up to the third year

Related subjects :
Rigid Body Dynamics (3), Analytical Dynamics (4), Electromagnetism (4), Modern Physics (4), Quantum Science (5), Optoelections (5)

Attendance advice :
Read the experiment text carefully in advance, work on the tasks in advance, and fully understand the contents and how to proceed. Confirm lateness at the class start time. Late arrivals of 15 minutes or more in each time period will be treated as absent. Be sure to submit the experiment report by the deadline.
