Assigned Department Objectives
Teaching Method
Outline:
General or Specialized : Specialized
Field of learning : Energy, Measurement and Control
Foundational academic disciplines : Engineering / Electrical and electronic engineering / Measurement 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 are"(A)", A-2.
Course outline :
Sensor Engineering is a basic technology of mechatronics that goes beyond measurement technology in a narrow sense. And it is an intelligent information system engineering that detects the state of robots and automated machines. The principle of converting to electrical signals using various sensors and applications used for automatic control are explained.
Style:
Course method :
Classes are mainly conducted on the blackboard.Exercises will be given as appropriate.To deepen your understanding, specific explanation is given.
Grade evaluation method :
Exams (60%) +Practice problems (40%).
Regular examinations will be conducted a total of 4 times, and the evaluation ratios will be the same. Retaking exam will be conducted as needed. The retaking exam will be evaluated on max of 80 points, and if the score is higher than the regular exam, it will be replaced with the score of the regular exam.
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 :
Since sensor engineering is closely related to Control Engineering, it is important to learn the basics of control engineering as well.
Foundational subjects :Integrated Science and Technology Practice(2nd year), Mechanical System Engineering Experiments and Practice Ⅰ(2nd), Mechanical System Engineering Experiments and Practice Ⅱ(3rd), Mechatronics Ⅰ(3rd), Mechatronics Ⅱ(4th), Introduction to Robotics(4th)
Related subjects :Mechanical System Engineering Experiments(4th year), Control Engineering(4th), Robot Creative Practice(4th), Robotics Design(5th), Robot Control(5th), Robot Programming(5th)
Attendance advice :
Task will be conducted at the beginning of the class. If you are late for the start time, you will not be able to work on the task.
