Assigned Department Objectives
Teaching Method
Outline:
※Relation of work experience : In this subject a teacher who has had a career in a company gives a class in PBL. The students experience risk assessment. The purpose of this class is understanding the function of an engineer's career in the relationship between themselves and society, the meaning of contribution to society through their work and the importance of safety knowledge at work.
General or Specialized : Specialized
Field of learning : Interdisciplinary・Others
Foundational academic disciplines : Integrated Area / Integrated Engineering
Relationship with Educational Objectives :
This class is equivalent to "(4) Develop multi-disciplinary ability",
"(5) Attain a global perspective and understanding of social development",
"(6) Develop problem solving ability",
and"(7) Develop communication and presentation abilities".
Relationship with JABEE programs :
The main goal of learning / education in this class is "(G)" , G-1 also F-1,F-2 is involved.
Course outline :
On the basis of knowledge about "career" acquired in the special activities for the first three years, students will think about what they need to do to get a job. Students will also receive health and safety training and perform risk assessment for their employment.
Style:
Course method :
Group discussion will be the main focus of the course, and students will understand the importance of safety. First, a case study discussion on health and safety is conducted. Then, the students set the theme and conduct a risk assessment for the theme.
Grade evaluation method :
Exams (５0%) + Report (2５%)+ Presentation (2５%).
Retaking exams will be carried out for the studenst who get under 60% in total score.
The retaken exams are equivalent to the term exam. Students can use writing materials and calculator.
Notice:
Precautions on the enrollment :
Students must take this class(no more than one-third of the required number of class hours may be missed) .
Course advice :
Group work is the main activity. Students should be prepared to express their own opinions on the assigned topic to enable them to exchange their views with other members. To understand the basic rules of risk assessment.
Foundational subjects : PhysicsⅠ (1st year), Japanese Ⅰ(1st ), ChemistryⅠ(2nd ), JapaneseⅡ(2nd), Politics and economics(2nd ), ChemistryⅡ(3rd ), JapaneseⅢ(3rd )
Related subjects : Internship (4th year), Graduation thesis(5th), Special activity(1st-3rd)
Attendance advice :
Students need to take initiative in everything they do. Students must actively express their own opinions. Students are not given all the documents they need by their teachers; they need to find what they need on their own.
Reports should be submitted by the deadline.
