Course Description

In this course, students will work through exercises after a lecture given by the teacher. The contents in this course are basic and important things in the curriculum of Aerospace Engineering Department. Students are required to attend all the classes and to hand in the answer sheets of all exercises.
Students are expected to acquire the knowledge and techniques of DP1 and DP2.

Course Objectives

Important contents to be learned in this course are:
(1) Fundamentals on differentials and integrals, differential equations, and statistics
(2) English exercise: TOEIC questions
(3) Fluid dynamics: non-compressible and compressible
(4) Outline of rocket engineering: basics on rocket engines, design for high reliability
(5) Design of aircraft structures: fracture mode, strength and design of shear joints.
The main objective is that students to acquire basic academic skills and abilities helpful in meeting real-world requirements and in passing various exams for qualifications, graduate schools and employment.
In each content outlined above, the objective is to understand fundamentals and to be able to solve basic problems.

Grading Policy

Grading policy is based on exercise answers submitted at each class (100%). After submission, the answers are explained by the teacher. When a student did not attend a class, he/she should make contact with the teacher and receive instructions for exercise. The grading mark of each class is summed up to the total mark of this course. When the number of attendance and that of answer submission of a student are less than two-thirds of the number of classes, and when the total mark is not in the "pass" range, the student is "not qualified".
