Course Objectives
Learning purposes :
We focus on illumination engineering and acquire basic knowledge about lighting design by understanding the difference between light for illumination and light as energy. In electrothermics, you learn to understand the characteristics and kinds of actual electric furnaces and learn the fundamentals of electrothermics. In considering energy environments, you will acquire the ability to think about the most suitable energy balance for the environment by understanding the current situations of energy derived from the fossil fuel and that of natural energy sources.
Course Objectives :
1. With regard to illumination engineering, understand suitable illumination design for the kinds and characteristics of the actual light sources by learning the difference between light for illumination and light as an energy
2. With regard to electrothermics, understand the characteristics and kinds of actual electric furnaces, and acquire basic knowledge of the design for the electric furnace.
3. With regard to energy environment, acquire the ability to think about the future state of energy by understanding the present energy environment in Japan.

Assigned Department Objectives
Teaching Method
Outline:
General or Specialized : Specialized
Field of learning : Electrical and Electronic
Required, Elective, etc. : Elective Must complete subjects
Foundational academic disciplines : Engineering / Electric and electronic
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 goals of learning / education in this class are "(A),(A-2)", also "(B-1)" and "(G-2)" are involved.
Course outline :
In the first half of the semester, you will learn about illumination engineering and electrothermics. In illumination engineering, you study the nature and kinds of light and the fundamentals of illumination design. In electrothermics, you study the fundamentals and applications of electrothermics. In the latter half of the semester, you will study the applications of the electric motor and patterns of global and Japanese energy consumption. You will discuss this with other students and consider the ideal forms of different kinds of energy.
Style:
Course method :
This course is held in the second semester (16 weeks), and each lecture is 90 minutes in a week. In the first half of the semester, the class proceed by lecture the follows the text book. In the latter half, the class proceeds by discussion with each other based on the evaluation results of energy consumption states.
Grade evaluation method :
There are assignments that must be submitted.
Exams (35%)+ Portfolio (65%).
Examination will be set one time, and the reports are assigned some times. The textbook can be used in the examination, but the detail condition about it is instructed every time.
Re-examination may be possible but will depend on the situation of the student.
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 :
This course includes many (different) things, so the reports are assigned if there are the parts which could not covered in the class.
Foundational subjects : Electric Circuit Ⅰ, Ⅱ(3rd year, 4th), Electromagnetism Ⅰ, Ⅱ(3rd, 4th)
Related subjects : High Voltage Engineering (4th year), Electrical and Electronic Materials (5th), Graduation Thesis(5th)
Attendance advice :
Take notes during the lecture to aid your understanding. Prior knowledge should be considered and engaged while attending this course.
If you are late, you will be treated as absent after 20 minutes.
