Teaching Method

Outline:

General or Specialized : Specialized
Field of learning : Energy, Measurement and control
Required, Elective, etc. : Elective must complete subjects
Foundational academic disciplines : Engineering,/Mechanical 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), also A-2" is involved.

Course outline :
An overview of heat engines that convert thermal energy into mechanical energy and fluid machines that convert fluid-held energy into mechanical work, as well as energy conservation, renewable energy use, and environmental protection will be discussed.

Style:

Course method :
Classes will be centered on the blackboard, and concrete explanations will be given as simply as possible, including a review of necessary peripheral knowledge. In addition, in order to deepen understanding, exercises and reports will be given, and each problem will be explained.

Grade evaluation method :
The results of the two regular exams will be evaluated equally (70%). Textbooks and notebooks are not allowed to be brought in for each mid-term exam, but only notebooks are allowed for the first semester and the final exam. Exercises and reports (30%).

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 :
As much as possible, familiar examples will be given, so it is best not to get too caught up in the derivation of detailed equations and try to understand the physical meaning of them in depth.

Foundational subjects : Fluid Engineering (4th year), Thermodynamics (4th)others

Related subjects : Energy System Engineering (Advanced Engineering Course 1st)others

Attendance advice :
You cannot acquire problem analysis ability in a passive posture. Make sufficient preparations and reviews, and actively work on exercises and reports.
Late arrivals will be treated as late until half of each time has passed, but will be treated as absent after that.
