Learn concrete examples and prospects from the fundamental science based on the latest research topics in the field of materials and chemical engineering, mainly focusing on freshmen from the School of Materials and Chemical Engineering. It also aims at acquiring the attitude of study learning by gathering information themselves.
Understand the task assignment of materials and chemical engineering.
Fundamentals and techniques, research themes required for materials and chemical engineering
✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
This lecture is an omnibus format by six faculty teachers and introduces the latest research topics in Materials and Chemical Engineering as an example.
Course schedule | Required learning | |
---|---|---|
Class 1 | Molecular design and synthesis in organic and polymeric materials | Learn the foundation and application to advanced researches of organic and polymeric materials |
Class 2 | Fuel cells and their constituent materials | Learn the structure of automotive fuel cells and their constituent materials, and understand the importance of material research |
Class 3 | Development of inorganic materials using supercomputer | Current development of inorganic materials using state-of-the-art supercomputers will be discussed, alongside "materials informatics", which is a new paradigm of materials science that deploys theoretical calculation and artificial intelligence technology. |
Class 4 | Design of functional polymers for next-generation by spectroscopic approach | Understand the importance of spectroscopic methods to design next-generation functional polymers. |
Class 5 | Catalytic chemical reaction engineering - engineering for energy production and chemical synthesis- | Understand chemical reaction and its reaction rate over solid catalyst. |
Class 6 | Parallel synthesis and high-throughput characterization for accelerating the discovery of novel materials and functionality | Please explain an advantage and a drawback about some of the apparatuses and chemical-engineering techniques developed so far. In addition, please consider what kind of purpose you can use a similar concept in elsewhere. |
