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.
【Water Rocket Development and Control】
【Gliding Locomotion Robot "Gyotaro-IIIa"】
【AI-Drone (Machine Learning and Motion Control)】
【Control】
【Wireless electric car with microcomputer】
【Communication, Computation, and Intelligent Information Processing】
【Industrial Engineering and Economics(Mechanism Design and Data Analysis)】
By completing this course, students will be able to:
【Industrial Engineering and Economics (Mechanism Design and Data Analysis)】
1) Understand the fundamental concepts of game theory and the significance of institutional design through participating economic experiment.
2) Learn how to visualize data using and interpret the background of the analysis results.
【Communication, Computation, and Intelligent Information Processing】
1) explain the connection between basic academics and the latest intelligent information processing techniques
2) explain the basic principle of the artificial neural network.
3) login to a supercomputer system and perform a massive computation.
【Industrial Engineering and Economics (Mechanism Design and Data Analysis)】
Industrial Engineering, Game Theory, Mechanism Design, Data Analysis
【Communication, Computation, and Intelligent Information Processing】
Deep learning, neural network, intelligent information processing, parallel computing, communication
✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
【Industrial Engineering and Economics (Mechanism Design and Data Analysis)】
The lecture explains an outline of the Industrial Engineering techniques and their examples (Game Theory and Data Analysis).
【Communication, Computation, and Intelligent Information Processing】
This course explains the connection between the latest deep learning based intelligent information processing technique and basic academic areas such as linear algebra, calculus, probability, numeric optimization, graph theory, and biological information processing, as well as network and computer techniques that provide the computation environment. Moreover, students choose a topic from image, speech, and text processing, and run a preliminary experiment using a deep neural network on a TSUBAME super-computer or a cloud computer. The first half of this lecture explains deep learning with its connection to various academic areas and computer techniques. The latter half is an exercise where students train and evaluate a deep neural network of their choice.
