Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:
General or Specialized : Specialized

Field of learning : Information system, programming and network

Foundational academic disciplines : Engineering / Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Related Fields / Communication Engineering and Related fields.

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 : Give comprehensive lectures on information and communications such as networks and modulation / demodulation.
Style:
Course method : Classes will be conducted using textbooks, centered on board writing. In addition, related technologies will be supplementarily explained as necessary. Also, impose exercises to deepen understanding.

Grade evaluation method :
Equally evaluate the results of the two regular exams (80%, mid-term exams: final exams = 1:1).
・Each exam does not allow notebooks to be brought in.
・For those who have less than 60 points in each Regular Exams, the points may be changed if their understanding can be confirmed by supplementary lessons and re-exams. However, the evaluation after the change shall not exceed 60 points.
Evaluate by exercises and reports assignment (20%).
Notice:
Precautions on the enrollment : Students who chose this subject must take this class (no more than one-third of the required number of class hours missed) in order to complete the 4th year course. This is a "class that requires study outside of class hours". Classes are offered for 15 hours per credit, but 15 credit hours are required in addition to this.

Course advice : Make sure to check the contents of the basic subjects listed as preparatory learning in advance. Carefully check and understand the meanings and definitions of terms that appear in textbooks. Also, solve the examples and the exercises prepared at the end of each chapter one by one and check the contents carefully.

Foundational subjects : Information Literacy (1st year), Basic Information Networks (2nd), Introduction to Computers (3rd), etc.

Related subjects : Digital Signal Processing (4th year), Communications Protocol (5th), etc.

Attendance advice : In addition to basic knowledge, you will also learn about communication equipment and wireless equipment used in modern society, so learn with interest, keeping in mind that it is also related to daily life. Late arrivals are handled in 1/4 (= 0.5 hour) of class time (= 2 hour).
