Course overview and goals

This class aims to learn the skills of measurement and/or data processing, and to develop the ability of grasping physical phenomena/concepts through 4 essential themes in the transdisciplinary fields.

Course description and aims

Students will acquire the following abilities;
(1) To understand the reaction rate and mass/energy balances
(2) To measure the phase equilibrium and interpret the results
(3) To understand the mechanism, signal detection and control for basis of control function
(4) To understand the fundamentals of wireless communication

Keywords

reaction rate; phase equilibrium; control of actuator; fundamentals of wireless communication

Competencies

• Specialist skills
• Intercultural skills
• Communication skills
• Critical thinking skills
• Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Four different themes are provided in each professor’s laboratory. Students are divided into four groups, the respective groups study 4 different themes for 2 weeks at same time, and, then, all 4 groups study all 4 themes respectively in 8 weeks. The experiments are conducted in Japanese for three groups and in English for the other group. The preparation for this class or experiment is checked in a preliminary test, and if it is insufficient, the student cannot join the experiment. After experiment, students can deepen their understanding of each themes by the following oral examination and, based on these, students shall prepare and submit the reports for summary.

Course schedule/Objectives

Study advice (preparation and review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend a certain length of time outside of class on preparation and review (including for assignments), as specified by the Tokyo Institute of Technology Rules on Undergraduate Learning (東京工業大学学修規程) and the Tokyo Institute of Technology Rules on Graduate Learning (東京工業大学大学院学修規程), for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.

Textbook(s)

No text

Reference books, course materials, etc.

The textbook is uploaded on the website. Students shall print it out and bring it to the class.

Evaluation methods and criteria

Preliminary test and report (10%), experiment (20%), oral examination (30%), final report (40%)
