Teaching Method

Outline:
General or Specialized : Specialized
Field of learning : Interdisciplinary subjects/etc.(Medical and social welfare Program)
Foundational academic disciplines : Biomedical engineering and related fields / Medical assistive technology-related
Relationship with Educational Objectives :
This class is equivalent to "(4) Develop multi-disciplinary ability"

Relationship with JABEE programs :
The main goal of learning / education in this class is "(A)... A-1..."

Course outline :
In this class, it is the life support technology based on human resources and welfare equipment that will support the elderly and disabled in the future. In this course, the student will learn the basic matters necessary for independence support and long-term care support for the elderly and disabled, as well as technology and environment improvement to support living and employment.
Style:
Course method :
Classes will be centered around writing on the board. The Student will proceed with the lessons while solving exercises as appropriate in order to deepen their understanding. In addition, reports and issues will be given according to the situation. (This class is a semi-annual subject)

Grade evaluation method :
Examination(70%)+Exercises and report assignments (30%).
Examinations will be conducted a total of 2 times, and the evaluation ratios will be the same.
・ Each test does not allow notebooks to be brought in.
・ For those who have less than 60 points in each regular test, supplementary lessons will be given, and if the understanding can be confirmed by the retest, the points may be changed. However, the evaluation after the change shall not exceed 60 points.
Notice:
Precautions on the enrollment :
Students must take this class (no more than one-third of the required number of class hours missed) in order to complete the 5th year course.This is a class that requires study outside of class hours. A total of 45 hours of study is required per credit, including both class time and study outside class time. Follow the instructions of the instructor regarding study outside of class hours.

Course advice :
As a preparatory study, students should research examples of life support in medical welfare.
Foundational subjects : Subjects learned so far.

Related subjects : Medical and Welfare Engineering(5th), Ergonomics(5th),Psychology for Human Services(5th),Welfare Equipment Design(5th),Biological Information Processing(5th),Biomeasurement Engineering(5th),Wellbeing Science and Assistive Technology(5th), Etc.

Attendance advice :
The student must make preparations / reviews and work on assignments outside of class hours and submit a report. If you do not understand the content of the lesson, ask the teacher.
Late arrivals of 25 minutes or more are treated as one absence, and late arrivals of 75 minutes or more are treated as two absences.
