Assigned Department Objectives
Teaching Method
Outline:
General or Specialized : General
Field of learning : Natural Sciences, Common and Basic
Foundational academic disciplines :
Physics and related fields
Mechanics, Robotics and related fields
Relationship with Educational Objectives :
This class is equivalent to "(2) Acquire basic science and technical knowledge".
Course outline :
This class aims to apply elementary mechanics to familiar and engineering phenomena, explaining statics such as the equilibrium of forces and dynamics such as the motion of points and rigid bodies.
Style:
Course method :
This class will be taught mainly by writing on the board and showing the relationship with actual cases. In addition, exercises, reports, and mini tests will be given to deepen understanding.
Grade evaluation method :
Regular exams (70%) + Exercises, Reports, and Mini tests (30%).
For students who score less than 60 points at the end of the semester, a retaking exam will be given with advance instructions if attendance and class attitude are good. The result of the retaking exam will be read as the result of the regular exam, with a maximum grade of 60 points.
Only writing materials and calculators may be brought in for each examination.
The evaluation method may be changed in the case of remote classes.
Notice:
Precautions on the enrollment :
Students must take this class (no more than one-third of the required number of class hours missed) in order to complete the 3rd year course.
Course advice :
As preparatory study to be done in advance, review the contents of Physics I and Physics II, which are the foundational subjects.
Since the knowledge of physics learned up to the 2nd year is fundamental, and the knowledge of mathematics is also required, it is essential to have a solid foundation in physics and mathematics.
Foundational subjects : Physics I (1st year), Physics II (2nd)
Related subjects : Mechanics I, III (3rd year)
Attendance advice :
Students are encouraged to solve many exercises in order to acquire application skills.
Students are expected to prepare and review as needed.
All reports must be submitted by the designated due date.
Arriving (leaving) more than 20 minutes late (early) will result in one absence, and arriving (leaving) more than 65 minutes late (early) will result in two absences.
