Assigned Department Objectives
Teaching Method
Outline:
* Relationship with work experience:
This subject is taught by a teacher who has experience in research and development of clean energy-related equipment such as fuel cells, hydrogen production equipment, and solar cell production equipment, and atomic energy-related equipment such as sensors for fast breeder reactors and vacuum pumps for fusion equipment.
Style:
General or Specialized : Specialized
Foundational academic disciplines :
Science and Engineering / Engineering / Comprehensive Engineering / Earth / Resource System Engineering
Relationship with Educational Objectives in advanced course:
This subject is equivalent to a learning goal of the advanced course , which is "(1) To deepen knowledge of natural science subjects centered on mathematics and physics, and to acquire the ability to apply as basic academic ability related to mechanical / control system engineering and electronic / information system engineering."
Relationship with JABEE programs :
The main goal of this subject is to "(A) deepen basic knowledge about technology and to be able to acquire and explain knowledge in a wide range of fields of natural science as basic knowledge about A-1 engineering". Concomitantly, it is also involved in "B-1" and "G-1".
Course outline :
Deterioration of the global environment represented by global warming and ozone layer depletion is thought to be progressing along with the activation of human economic activities, and foreign literature is also used to discuss the actual conditions of these global environmental problems. learn. Next, we will deepen our understanding of the efforts of the United Nations, governments and space agencies of each country, and specific environmental conservation measures.
Notice:
Course method :
Classes will be conducted using handout prints, projectors and board writing. Foreign literature is also used as a teaching material in class. In addition, questions will be asked at any time to confirm the level of understanding of the students. Furthermore, by having them practice, they will improve their understanding, and by imposing reports, they will develop their awareness of environmental issues as engineers.
Grade evaluation method :
Be sure to submit the report assignment by the specified date. Test (70%) "In principle, it is once, but depending on the situation, a retest may be performed. The retest is evaluated in the same way as this test." Report assignments and exercises will be assigned 30%. In addition to self-written notebooks, handouts, calculators, and printouts of the manuscripts used in the lectures, you can bring them into the exam.
Precautions on the enrollment :
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 :
As preparatory study to be conducted in advance, it is desirable to be interested in the latest information, data, and current affairs news about the environment, and to browse it as needed to broaden your own knowledge. In addition, since some lectures will be given in English using English textbooks, it is desirable to actively come into contact with English on a daily basis.
Foundational subjects :
Environmental science (5th year)
Related subjects:
Mathematical Science II (5th year), Life Science II (5th), Science Inquiry (2nd in advanced cource)
Attendance advice :
"This subject is related to environmental education and nuclear core human resource development. "
Information on the environment is published on various websites, including the websites of the United Nations and the Ministry of the Environment, so it is advisable to browse them as needed to broaden your knowledge. If you are not seated at the beginning of the class, you will be late.
