| Course description |
|
This course aims to develop minds for knowledge creation and autonomous learning, and is designed as an introductory course for the Liberal Arts and Fundamental Studies. Students will experience different styles of lectures and classes depending on the contents. It consists of two parts. Part I : Common Introductory Program In this program that is common to all first-year students, students will learn about our university and think how they would pursue their academic life here. The university history and TUAT principals are described as well as our research activities, with the aim of encouraging students to engage in university study and to understanding the importance of designing their individual university life. Part II : What does heating, we do repeatedly every day, cause in the process ? It seems to be related to temperature, thermal capacity (specific heat), molecular motions, and chemical reactions. However, do we fully understand the basic physics and chemistry in heating processes ? In this class, every student will survey information and data on a given subject related to heating, and will give presentation to other students to express one's opinion obtained in the survey. |
| Expected Learning |
|
1) To understand the autonomous learning in the University, and be able to design individual's academic life at University from broad perspectives. 2) Improvement of ability for students to obtain necessary knowledge, information and data for their own subjects via active learning. Progress of presentation skill for students will be also expected. Competency Development： Initiative and Autonomy, Leadership and Facilitation, Knowledge Creation, Presentation Skills, Mission-Oriented Research and Problem Solving, Academic Ethics |

Talks from the President, the Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture, and the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering. 2. About the University (II) Talks from the Heads of the Departments. 3. Studying at the University Differences between studying at high school and studying at university. Designing your academic life at the University from broad perspectives. Questioning minds that lead you to the depth of academic study and research 4. Energy-saving and Safety in university life Global warming and emission of green house gas. Our effort in reducing CO2 emission. Risk management in laboratories. Your action to ensure own and others' safety. Risks of harmful chemicals and proper ways of their disposal. 5. Research ethics Code of conduct for research integrity, and scientific misconducts. Falsification, fabrication, and plagiarism are discussed. Part II : Specipic subjects related to heating such as below will be discussed via presentation by individual students. 6. Why a microwave oven can heat up water and foods ? 7. How water molecules moves dependending on temperature ? 8. What is burning ? 9. What happen in power stations ? 10. What is a Seebeck effect ? 11. What is a Pertier effect ? 12. What happens in the denaturation processes of proteins ? 13. Why IH heaters work ? 14. How to describe the thermal conductivitiy ? 15. Summary |
| Prerequisites |
|
Part I : In addition to 10 hours you spend in the class, you are recommended to review the classes spending the standard amount of time as specified by the University for each class, to plan out the courses to take and design how you would pursue your academic activities ahead. Part II : Preparation for presentation is necessary on a specipic subject related to heating. |
