Assigned Department Objectives
Teaching Method
Outline:
General or Specialized : Specialized
Required, Elective, etc. : Elective subjects
Foundational academic disciplines : Inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, organic chemistry
Relationship with Educational Objectives :
This class is equivalent to (3) Acquire deep foundation knowledge of the major subject area
Course outline :
Functional materials based on organic compounds are becoming more and more important for electric, electronic and optical and even bio-functional materials due to advances in electronics and nanotechnology. In this lecture, the fundamentals and applications of organic functional materials are explained to help students to become engineers with a wide range of interests.
Style:
Course method :
All lectures will be given using a projector. If the grade depends on an exam , students will be allowed to bring their own notes into the exam, so they are expected to make their own notes during class.
Grade evaluation method :
In principle, evaluation is based on an essay-type examination. After consultation with the students, evaluation may be based on a written report.
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) and earn the credit in order to complete the 5th year course. 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 extra studies.
Course advice : This is a specialized subject. Students will not learn anything if they attend lectures with a passive attitude. Students are required to read the designated sections of the textbook before each lecture. Do not rely on rote memorization. Students are encouraged to think logically in order to understand the essence of chemistry.
Attendance advice :
This is a high-level course, so do not take it lightly. I guarantee that this course will expand your knowledge base. The students who are interested in material science are encouraged to attend this class.
Foundational subjects：
Chemistry I (2nd year), Chemistry II (3rd), General chemistry (3rd), Physics of matter (4th)
Related subjects : Organic chemistry I (4th year), Organic chemistry II (5th), Chemistry experiment (4th),
