Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:
General or Specialized : Specialized
Field of learning : Information and Control
Foundational academic disciplines : Electric electronics/Control, Systems 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 is "(A), A-2".

Course outline :
In this subject, the student learns the basic matters of sequence control, which is one of the main technologies of Factory Automation technology, and the basic method of constructing a circuit of relay sequence.
Style:
Course method :
This course is opened in the second semester for 2 credit hours(90 minutes) in a week. Class proceeds using a projector to explain following the contents of the textbook, the blackboard will also be used for items not included in the textbook. The student learns the basics of sequence control and advances to the concrete circuit. In addition, practice exercises will be assigned so that understanding deepens.

Grade evaluation method :
Regular exams (70%) + Practice (20%) + Portfolio (10%).
Examinations will be conducted a total of 2 times, and the evaluation ratios will be the same.
Students with poor results may be retested. The limit of the score after retest is 60 points.
Notice:
Precautions on the enrollment :
Students must take this class (no more than one-third of the required number of class hours may be missed) in order to complete the 2nd year course.

Course advice :
The sequence control is applied widely in the industrial field, and the contents are extensive. Review the content learned in the class and understand it, and read the textbook for preparing next lesson, every time.

Foundational subjects : Fundamentals of Integrated Science and Technology (1st year), Experimental Practice for Science and Engineering(1st)
Related subjects : Electrical Apparatus Ⅰ(2nd year)

Attendance advice :
If you are late for the start time, you will be treated as absent after 10 minutes.
