Course description and aims

This course aims to become a bridge between general education at high school and specialized education in the subjects of No.200 or higher. This course also aims to cultivate not only basic knowledge of engineering but also sense and attitude for problem solving so that the freshmen of School of Engineering can learn actively specialized subjects after sophomore.
By taking all Engineering literacy I-IV, the students experience the following all seven subjects in Engineering Literacy.
【Manufacturing process 】
【Mechanical Design (Steamship)】
【Mechanical Design (CAD)】
【Control】
【Wireless electric car with microcomputer】
【Communication, Computation, and Intelligent Information Processing】
【Management Technology (Industrial Engineering and Economics)】

Student learning outcomes

By completing this course, students will be able to:
【Manufacturing process 】
1) Practice various manufacturing processes and machine tools.
2) Do basic works yourself.
【Mechanical Design (Steamship)】
1) Understand the basic knowledge of thermodynamics and fluidmechanics, and apply them to actual problems.
2) Design mechanisms based on its principle, and improve it based on understanding actual phenomena.
3) Discuss and solve the problem in their group.

Keywords

【Manufacturing process 】
manufacturing process, machine tool, safety, measurement, lathe, milling machine, drilling machine, bending machine, band saw, shearing, grinding
【Mechanical Design (Steamship)】
thermodynamics, fluidmechanics, problem solving, design, manufacturing

Competencies that will be developed

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

Class flow

【Manufacturing process 】
Students will practice how to operate machine tools and measuring instruments for produce machinery in order to learn fundamental knowledge and technique on manufacturing processes. In addition, safety training program will be given to ensure your safety on work. Guidance on practical works, safety training program, and fundamentals of measurement technique are given for all at once. Then, the students separate into four groups, and each group takes three practices among the following four practices in rotation.
A. Fundamental operation of lathe
B. Fundamental operation of milling machine
C. Fundamental operation of scribing and drilling machine
D. Fundamental operation of band saw and bending machine
Attendance is taken in every class.
【Mechanical Design (Steamship)】
Principle of steamship propelled by energy of a flame of a candle is discussed and the ship is designed and manufactured by each student. Using sold steamships, principle of propulsion for the steamship is examined by group discussion. Next the results of discussion are presented by all groups, and discussion as a whole is conducted. A steamship is designed by each student based on the results of discussion. The steamship is manufactured based on the design result. The manufactured steamships compete with each other through group heats and final tournament.
