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 (Idea Realization)】
【Mechanical Design (CAD)】
【Control】
【Wireless electric car with microcomputer】
【Communication, Computation, and Intelligent Information Processing】
【Management Technology and Mechanism Design (Industrial Engineering and Economics)】
Student learning outcomes
By completing this course, students will be able to:
【Control】
1) understand the basic principle of measurement by sensors.
2) understand the basic principle of feedback control.
3) master the design method of control systems.
【Mechanical Design (CAD)】
1) carry out structural and frequency analysis of mechanical parts with CAE.
2) create 3D model of mechanical parts in 3D CAD.
3) design mechanical parts using CAD and CAE.
Keywords
【Control】
Measurement, Control, System
【Mechanical Design (CAD)】
CAD(Computer Aided Design), CAE(Computer Aided Engineering,)
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
【Control】
This course introduces the basic principle of feedback control using the signal measured by sensors, and holds a competition to help them to understand the effectiveness using the line tracing car.
【Mechanical Design (CAD)】
Through this course, students can learn fundamental basics of CAD (Computer Aided Design) and CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) by using Inventor, a tool for CAD. The first half of this lecture shows how to use CAE and CAD. The latter half of the lecture is a design competition using CAE and CAD.
Course schedule/Required learning
| Course schedule | Required learning | |
|---|---|---|
| Class 1 | Introduction: Aim of the course, notice for students, setup of computer systems. | A student should have an overlook of the course and set up his/her computer system for the course. |
| Class 2 | Measurement, sensor, and collision avoidance | Understand how sensors work and how collision can be avoided. |
| Class 3 | Design control system for line tracing | Carry out the design of control system for line tracing. |
| Class 4 | Competition: Evaluation and Award Ceremony | Evaluate the performance of the control through the line tracing competition. |
| Class 5 | Introduction of CAD | Make 3D structure models by using Inventor. |
| Class 6 | ・FEM (Finite Element Method) Analysis ・3D Design competition 1 (Create a 3D model) | ・Carry out structural and frequency analyses by using Inventor. ・Create 3D model of mechanical parts and carry out the structure and frequency analyses for them in Inventor. |
| Class 7 | 3D Design competition 2 (Improve properties of the 3D model) | Improve the specified property of the model under the given constraint and propose a final model. |
Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
Textbook(s)
None required
Reference books, course materials, etc.
Documents will be distributed
Assessment criteria and methods
