Teaching Method

Outline:

Specialized

Field of learning : environmental engineering

Elective subjects

Foundational disciplines: engineering/basics of engineering

Relevance to the educational objectives: This course is designed to meet the learning objectives of the Department of Integrated Science and Engineering (2) Acquire solid knowledge of basic science.

Relationship with JABEE programs : A-2

Outline: This course covers the fundamentals and applications of energy and environmental sciences and their future prospects. Students will develop problem finding and problem solving skills from the perspective of the environment and energy with regard to the current state of the art in the generation and use of various energy technologies and their challenges.

Style:

Method: The second semester is 16 weeks long, 2 credit hours per week (90 minutes). Students will be divided into groups of several students. They will prepare materials based on the theme and content of each week and each student will make a presentation based on the materials. Study the textbook and your own to prepare for your presentation.

Grading system: The presented material is 50% of the final grade and the results of the regular exam are 50%. The overall grade is the average of those (two). Students who are found to lack understanding from the results of the exam may be given a remedial lesson and retake the exam. Retakes will be limited to 60 points and will be included in the final exam results. Students are allowed to bring their own textbooks to the exam.

Notice:

"Course Note: Since this course covers a very wide range of fields, you may have to write a report on areas that cannot be covered in class alone. Students are encouraged to study the subject thoroughly.

Introduction to Electromagnetism (3rd year), Introduction to Thermodynamics (3), Power Engineering (4), Electric Power Transmission and Distribution (4)

Related subjects: electrical applications and environment (4 years), environmental science (5)

Advice: Take sufficient time to prepare the preliminary materials. This course requires a comprehensive knowledge of the subject matter covered in the past and students should try to align the content of the course with the knowledge learned in the past. Attendance will be taken, and each hour will be considered late from the beginning of the class to 20 minutes. If you are later than 20 minutes late, you will be considered absent from the class.
