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 "C" of "(C-1)."
Course outline:
In modern life, design is the essential element of communications between people, or people and goods, regardless of companies and individuals. In this class, students learn the process of project design and understand the role and importance of visual design. Further, the students learn effective output of information by that fundamental knowledge.
Style:
Course method:
This class is conducted on the blackboard and via the textbook. Regular drills and reports will also be completed. Not only theoretical knowledge, but also practical examples, along with the history of art and design, are important topics. The class is only held twice per week in the 1st semester.
Grade evaluation method:
Exams (70%) + reports (30%). Regular examinations will be twice with each equally weighted.
Re-exam will be conducted on demand. The upper-bound score of the re-exam is 60. Higher of regular and makeup exam scores is adopted.
Notice:
Precautions on the enrollment:
The student must attend this class for promotion.
Course advice:
Keep in mind that information and visual design are the foundations of design in various media.
Foundational subjects: Information Literacy(1st year), Digital Circuits(2nd), Basic Programming(2nd), etc.
Related subjects: Electrical Circuits System(4th year), Electronic Circuits(4th), Control Engineering(4th), etc.
Attendance advice: If you are late for roll taking, you will be treated as late for the class. Two times late for the class is treated as one absence. If you are late for half of one period, you will be treated as absence.
Liaison faculty: Hitoshi SORI, Information and Communication System Program.
