Class flow
First, the instructor will present the course of development of the electricity business with the aid of diagrams and images. Then, he will explain what kind of legal regulations govern the electricity business. Further, he will explain the technical standards related to electric equipment, which has been called the constitution for electricity engineers. Finally, he will explain the operation of electrically powered equipment, management in practice, and the energy situation in Japan. A test to check attainment level will be given for the last half of the last day. Note that there is NO guided tour in this year.
