3rd/4th Semester

Safety and Security Managements for Engineer

In this course, we will examine “why accidents occur,” by reviewing specific, real-world cases. Particularly, in the case of mechanical engineering related incidents, it is often the case that they involve rotating parts and machinery, thus increasing the probability of accidents where operators’ limbs, etc., get pulled into said machinery. In a worst-case scenario, such incidents can result in immediate loss of life (even as the machine itself is left unscathed)! Unfortunately, while it is impossible to completely eliminate the occurrence of such accidents, it is however possible to reduce the frequency with which they occur. In this course, students will learn the importance of methods used to mitigate such risks, such as meticulous worksite organization and arrangement, hazard prediction, and finger pointing and calling methods, etc. Additionally, students will also get to experience engine disassembly/assembly and robotic operation, in order to deepen their awareness on workplace safety.

Programming 1

For present day technology, almost all products now contain embedded computers, and they operate based on instructions provided by computer programs. In this course, students will study C programming, one of the most representative programming languages, and by understanding the syntax used, students will aim to become capable of independently and freely coding their own programs. During the lectures, we will focus on the fundamental concepts of programming. Students with the motivation to study further will be able to learn how to instantaneously perform highly complex calculations through programming, in lieu of using such means as calculators or Excel.

Differential Equations

In the natural world, there exist many types of phenomena that vary in proportion to such factors as time and acceleration. The mathematical means of representing such variation is referred to as “differentiation,” and the formulas that include such differentiation terms are collectively referred to as “differential equations.” Consequently, by solving such differential equations, it becomes possible to explain a large part of the natural phenomena observed in the physical world. In this lecture series course, students will be provided with an explanation of the fundamental concepts of ordinary differential equations, how to mathematically solve first-order and second-order differentiation problems, as well as how such formulas are applied in the field of engineering. By also participating in practicum activities, students will further deepen their knowledge, and the course will be structured so that they can gain problem solving skills and the capacity to apply such mathematical knowledge.
