Course Objectives

Learning purposes :
The students take four programs of Experimental Practice to acquire basic skills in this area. In addition, they will make decisions on program selection when advancing to the second grade, taking into consideration their own learning objectives and the skills they want to acquire.

Course Objectives :
1. To understand the basic skills (in Mathematics, Measurement Technology, Programming) necessary for learning engineering and science.
2. To clarify the desired program when advancing to the second grade.

Style:
Course method :
Instructor will give guidance on first day about how to proceed with the class, including groups and plases.etc.

Grade evaluation methods :
The average of the exam scores is 100% of grade.
Notice:
Precautions on enrollment :
Students must take this class (no more than one-third of the required number of class hours missed) and earn the credit in order to complete the 1st-year course.

Course advice :
Students take 3 classes. Depending on the program, the inside may be further divided into 2 to 4 groups. Follow the instructions of the person in charge about the place of implementation. In charge of 7 weeks for each program. Overall guidance will be given at the beginning of the year.

Foundational subjects : Science and Mathematics up to junior high school

Related subjects : Experiments in Science (2nd year AC) , Mechanical System Engineering Experiments and Practice I (2nd), Electric and Electronic System Engineering Experiments and Practice I (2nd), Information System Engineering Experiments and Practice I(2nd)

Attendance advice :
Be sure to understand the program explanation of each teacher.
