Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:
General or Specialized : Specialized

Field of learning : Information system, control

Foundational academic disciplines : Informatics / Information Science, Information Engineering and Related Fields / Computer Systems Related.

Relationship with Educational Objectives : This class is equivalent to "(2) Acquire knowledge in specialized technical fields related to electricity / electronics and information / control, and acquire the ability to utilize it for the design, manufacture, and operation of machines and systems".

Relationship with JABEE programs : The main goal of learning / education in this class are "(A) , A-2:

Course outline : Lectures will be given on basic technology related to software and basic knowledge on hardware such as logical formulas and logic circuits.
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 : 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 : There are many contents related to fields other than your own specialty, but you should study with interest in order to broaden your horizons as an engineer. Make sure to check the contents of the basic subjects listed as preparatory learning in advance.

Foundational subjects : Electronic Information Circuit (3rd year of electrical and electronic), Special Theory of Electronic Information Circuit (5th year of electrical and electronic), Introduction of Computer (3rd year of information), Digital Engineering I (2nd year of information), Digital Engineering II (3rd year of information), etc.

Related subjects : Information System Exercise I, II (2nd year), Special Lecture on Numerical Analysis (2nd year).

Attendance advice : The content of the study is something that has already been learned in this department, but I would like you to think deeply and learn the essence rather than superficial shallow learning and understanding. Late arrivals are handled in 1/4 (= 0.5 hour) of class time (= 2 hour).
