1.
Outline
Students will study recent accomplishments, issues and design technology in mechanical engineering. Students will solve some typical design problems that mechanical engineers typically have to solve in actual daily operations. Students should find the guidance and data for solving the design problems in the textbook to present their own grounds to solve the problems. Furthermore, students will solve equations which they have introduced by themselves using their calculators, and will double-check their results using alternative solutions just like in the actual design processes. Through this series of lectures, students will acquire abilities to find, to analyze and to solve problems and technical communication skills. These technical abilities and skills are essential for students who wish to become expert engineers or researchers in this field. Students will be able to acquire the knowledge, skills, abilities and attitudes described in the diploma policy DP2 and DP3.
2.
Objectives
The goal of this course is to acquire the applicable skills necessary for you as a mechanical engineer in years to come. You will learn how to solve technical problems in research, development, design, manufacturing, operation, maintenance and other technical jobs of productions in mechanical engineering fields, using dynamics, mathematics and all mechanical engineering related sciences. At the same time, students will understand how mechanical engineering answers to the engineering demands on site of productions through actual examples. Students will also acquire the basic design skills they will need in their future jobs.
3.
Grading Policy
Exercises will be graded and sample answers will be presented.
Grade points are evaluated using equally weighted exercise total point and final exam point.
4.
Textbook and Reference
Textbook: Practical handbook of Mechanical Engineering, Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers
5.
Requirements (Assignments)
Students should prepare each lecture in advance and review each lecture and exercise. Every preparation needs at least two hours and every review needs at least one hour.
Students need to bring their own textbook and calculator for each exercise and final exam.

6.
Note
Students can see the text book and own handwritten note books during each excise and final exam.
