Course description and aims

Learn about literacy in mechanical engineering.
(1) Research ethics, engineer ethics, information ethics, and career planning
(2) Technical Documentation, Health and Safety
(3) Practical training in electrical engineering, machining practice, and understanding of a mechanical system

Student learning outcomes

Through this course, students will acquire the following abilities.
(1) Acquire research ethics, engineering ethics, and information ethics.
(2) To be able to make accurate technical documents.
(3) Acquire basic skills in mechanical engineering.
(a) To be able to implement electronic circuits by soldering, etc., and to fabricate basic control circuits using a microcomputer.
(b) To be able to perform basic operations such as names and usage of basic tools.
(c) Understand the internal structure of mechanical systems.

Keywords

Electric circuit, control technology, mounting technology, mechatronics, processing technology, power transmission.

Competencies that will be developed

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

Class flow

After the guidance, students will be divided into groups to work on three topics. Practical training will be the main part of the course. Students are required to submit a report for each theme.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend a certain length of time outside of class on preparation and review (including for assignments), as specified by the Tokyo Institute of Technology Rules on Undergraduate Learning (東京工業大学学修規程) and the Tokyo Institute of Technology Rules on Graduate Learning (東京工業大学大学院学修規程), for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.

Textbook(s)

Not specified. (The lecture materials will be distributed at beginning of this course or can be downloaded on the web site of T2SCHOLA.)

Reference books, course materials, etc.

Assessment criteria and methods

Evaluation of understanding will be based on the student's work during class time and on weekly reports. Comprehension will be evaluated based on the students' practical work, the results of that work, and reports and submissions.
Since this class is mainly consisting of practical training, students are required to attend every class and perform the practical training.

Prerequisites (i.e., required knowledge, skills, courses, etc.)

Students must have successfully completed mechanical engineering literacy (GRD.R101,GRD.R102,GRD.R103, GRD.R104) or have equivalent knowledge.
Due to the limitation of the practical equipment, only students in the mechanical engineering department are allowed to take this course.
