Teaching Method

Outline:

Mechanics, which is one of the foundations of engineering, is an important concept that serves as the basis for acquiring knowledge in specialized fields such as structural mechanics, soil mechanics, hydraulics, and concrete structure in the construction field. It is a concept that students who aim to become engineers who will play an active role in the construction field in the future must naturally master. In this lecture, students will deepen their understanding of the concept of basic force, but we will also explain examples of their application to the structural field of construction, especially in the field of construction, such as vibration and earthquakes, as necessary.

Style:

In class, we will explain as many examples as possible, and ask students to deepen their understanding by giving them exercises as self-study assignments. If necessary, there will be time for students to solve exercises during class. 　
【Class time: 30 hours】
Since this course is a learning credit course, reports will be conducted as post-study.

Notice:

Since this course is a review and application of physics, physics experiments, and exercises in the second year, it is desirable to thoroughly review the basic knowledge of these subjects. I want you to answer homework and exercises while thinking about it thoroughly with your own mind using paper and pencil and try to understand the content.
