Course overview and goals
This course intends to promote understanding of the relationship between material characteristics and the function though disassembly of daily products. Special talks about the material characteristics by staffs will lead you further understanding of the material design. Also, the students will be a small group, and will investigate and researchtheir own issues concerning the process of creating science and technology by teachers. In addition, discuss the issues and report the results.
Course description and aims
By studying this lecture, you learn what kind of materials your personal products are med up, understand the importance of lectures you will learn at university, and train communication and presentation skills through group work. Also, the students understand how to set research subjects in material science and engineering.
Keywords
Fundamental knowledge, technology and research subjects required for Applied Chemistry and Materials Science
Competencies
- Specialist skills
- Intercultural skills
- Communication skills
- Critical thinking skills
- Practical and/or problem-solving skills
Class flow
In this course, the students are divided into two groups (1-3 classes or 4-6 classes), and working on “disassembly” and “task investigation”, respectively. In “disassembly”, products are disassembled in each small group, and “task investigation” surveies and studies the given tasks by yourself.
