Course description and aims
In this class, lectures will be given from the mechanical engineering point of view.
1. The shape and movement of living organisms, the controlling mechanism
2. Structure and characteristics of sensory organs and brain functions of living organisms
Student learning outcomes
1. You are supposed to explain the shapes and movements of creatures and the mechanisms that control them using mathematics.
2. You are supposed to mention some specific examples of engineering applications that focus on the structure and characteristics of sensory organs and brain functions of living organisms.
This subject corresponds to the acquisition of.
6. Advanced Professional Achievement in Mechanical Engineering
7. Ability to make use of expertise to solve new problems and make creative proposals
Course taught by instructors with work experience
| ✔ Applicable | How instructors' work experience benefits the course |
