Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:
"General, by specialty, : General

field of study: general: pysics

Required, compulsory, elective or elective: Must complete subjects

Foundational adademic disciplines: engineering/basics of engineering

Relevance to the educational objectives: This course is designed to meet the learning objectives of the Department of Integrated Science and Engineering (2) Acquire solid knowledge of basic science.

Relationship with JABEE programs : A-1

Outline: This class covers the theory of physical properties in relation to the behavior of electrons in semiconductors. The behavior of electrons and holes in semiconductors will be explained with a focus on energy, and students will develop the basic knowledge necessary to understand the principles of operation of semiconductor devices, such as diodes and transistors.

Style:
Grading system: The results of the two regular exams will be evaluated equally (60%). Grades are based on the results of quizzes, reports, and exercises (40%).
Students with poor grades may be required to retake the examination. If a retest is given, the results of the retest will be included in the regular exam results with a maximum of 60 points.
Notice:
"Course Note: This course is required to complete the course.

Advice: this is an important course that provides a foundation for understanding the principles of operation of semiconductor devices such as transistors, LEDs, and solar cells. There may be many new ideas that are unfamiliar to you, but you should ask questions if you do not understand them.

Basic subjects: Electronic Circuits I (3rd year), Physics I, II (1, 2), Chemistry I, II (2, 3)

Related subjects: Electronic Engineering (4 years), Electrical and Electronic Materials (5), Electronic Circuits II (4), Electronic Devices (2), Applied Physics I, II (4, 5), Quantum Science (5)

Advice: There are many words and concepts that are new to you. It is also necessary to acquire the basic knowledge necessary to understand electronic engineering in the electrical and electronic systems. Do enough reviewing. Reports must be handed in. Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each credit period, and students who have not responded to the call will be considered tardy. For every 3 tardies, the student will be charged with one absence. A student who is more than 25 minutes late will be considered to have missed one class."
