Mechanical System Design Exercise II
(Compulsory Elective Course in the Department of Engineering and Applied Sciences)The electrical and electronic engineering course offers three semesters of experimental classes focusing on subjects that involve hardware. By performing actual experiments, students deepen their understanding, which is difficult to acquire through classroom lessons alone, such as the confirmation of basic physical laws and the operating characteristics of devices of different sizes, from semiconductor elements to power equipment. In Mechanical System Design Exercise II, students will learn the following subjects: (1) amplifier circuits using transistors, (2) basic characteristics of AC circuits, (3) semiconductor devices, (4) transformers, and (5) three- phase induction motors. While conducting experiments in groups of three to four people, students learn how to cooperate with other team members and develop a sense of responsibility such that they do not leave things to others.It is important that students carry out experiments themselves.1 : Two students are measuring the characteristics of a transformer. 2 : Three students are measuring the characteristics of a semiconductor device. instructions to groups at the experiment table.

Experiments & Exercises in Physics II
(Compulsory Elective Course in the Department of Engineering and Applied Sciences)Students will conduct exercises and experiments keeping in mind the topics of lectures on physics, especially quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics. Based on the curriculum policy of the department, students will acquire a deep understanding of basic physics and mathematics, acquire knowledge that can be applied to materials, devices, energy, etc., and develop the ability to create new functions and innovative improvements to existing technologies.-

Mechanical System Design Exercise II
(Compulsory Elective Course in the Department of Engineering and Applied Sciences)This course provides third-year students with an opportunity to experience and learn design and drafting methods, which are important in the field of mechanical engineering. The targets of design include the selective compliance assembly robot arm (SCARA), gear pumps, and single-cylinder gasoline engines. Students themselves perform design calculations in accordance with the mechanics of materials, mechanical dynamics, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, etc., which they have studied in their second year. On the basis of the results of design calculations, modeling is performed using a 3D CAD (Computer-Aided Design) system. Eventually, by creating 2D drawings from modeling data, students develop the ability to understand and describe design information necessary for production.-
By making full use of knowledge of the mechanics of materials and thermodynamics acquired in their classes, students perform design calculations for a single-cylinder gasoline engine.

Electric Engineering Lab. I
(Compulsory Elective Course in the Department of Engineering and Applied Sciences)In this course, students will experience and learn the fundamentals of electrical and electronic engineering. This course is necessary to acquire a systematic understanding of electrical and electronic engineering and serves as the foundation for more advanced laboratory courses. Specific experimental topics are “measurement errors and their handling,” “circuit theorems,” “introduction to microcomputer control programming,” “electrostatic field,” “characteristics of magnetic materials and electromagnetic induction,” and “AC circuits and transient phenomena.” Through this course, students will learn how to perform experiments, handle equipment, process data, proceed with the investigation, and write reports. In addition, students will be able to deepen their understanding of the theories and laws learned in lectures by actual confirmation through experiments.-
