Course Objectives
Learning purposes :
To understand that the properties and functionality of various materials are determined at the atomic and molecular levels and at the level of molecular assemblies. Students will also understand that it is possible to evaluate the properties and functions of materials in detail by making full use of analytical instruments. Through this lecture, we aim to acquire the skills to manage so-called "materials" including mechanical materials not only from a macroscopic perspective but also from a microscopic perspective.
Course Objectives :
1. Students will be able to explain the functions and properties of materials from the microscopic viewpoint of atoms, molecules, and molecular assemblies.
2. Students will understand the operating principles and characteristics of a variety of analytical instruments.

Assigned Department Objectives
Teaching Method
Outline:
General or Specialized : Specialized
Field of learning : Common and basic natural sciences
Foundational academic disciplines : Materials Engineering (Structural and Functional Materials)
Relationship with Educational Objectives :This class is equivalent to the major's learning objectives (2)
Relationship with JABEE programs :The main goals of learning / education in this class are "(A) A-1".
Course outline :All materials can be regarded as a set of "atoms and molecules" from a microscopic viewpoint. In the first half of this lecture, we will look at various functional materials at the atomic and molecular level, and try to bridge the gap between microscopic properties (electronic states of molecules and atoms, bonding modes) and macroscopic properties (thermal, mechanical, etc.) of materials. In the latter half of the lecture, various instrumental analyses, which are methods to evaluate the properties of materials, will be outlined. Through this lecture, students will learn to look at materials as "substances" and develop skills to process and handle them appropriately.
Style:
Course method : Mainly lecture-based.
Grade evaluation method : In principle, the evaluation will be based on the scores of mini-reports and presentations given in each class (50%) and the regular exam (50%). The evaluation method will be discussed with the students.
Notice:
This is a class that requires study outside of class hours. A total of 45 hours of study is required per credit, including both class time and study outside class time. Follow the instructions of the instructor regarding study outside of class hours.
Course advice : Motivation to learn is important. A proactive attitude is necessary.
Foundational subjects : Chemistry I (2 years), Materials Science (2 years), Chemistry II (3 years), Mechanics of Materials I and II (3 and 4 years), Applied Chemistry (4 years)
Attendance advice :If you attend lectures with a passive attitude, you will never learn the contents. Be sure to read the designated sections of the textbook before the lecture. Be careful not to rely on easy memorization. In order to understand the essence of the discipline of chemistry, I would like you to always keep thinking logically while attending the lectures.
