| 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. 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 : Faculty-Specific Program Courses in high schools are designed to make science lectures separately; physics, chemistry, biology, and archeology. In Universities, interdisciplinary studies of those fields are necessary to learn science. This course is designed for you to experience topics of science by conducting experiments, which cover diverse fields including physics, chemistry, biology, informatics, security, and environments. You learn how to develop your specialties with broad views through performing the experiments by own thoughts. |
| Expected Learning |
|
We expect you all to learn to (1) To understand the autonomous learning in the University, and be able to design individual's academic life at University from broad perspectives. (2) Understand principles of the experiments. (3) Appropriately conduct the experiments from comprehension of purposes and methods of the experiments. (4) Analyze experimental data and make reasonable conclusions. (5) Lead scientific discussion from the experimental results. (6) Write your reports of the above items. Competency Development： Initiative and Autonomy, Leadership and Facilitation, Knowledge Creation, Presentation Skills, Mission-Oriented Research and Problem Solving, Academic Ethics |
| Course schedule |

Part I : Common Introductory Program 1. About the University (I) Talks from the President, the Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture, and the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering. 2. Our Initiative for Society (First half) Global warming and emission of green house gas. Our effort in reducing CO2 emission. (Second half) TUAT Plastic 5R Campus-Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Renewable, Research. Our teaching and research activities in finding the solutions and educating future generations. 3. Studying at the University (First half) Differences between studying at high school and studying at university. Designing your academic life at the University from broad perspectives, with a systematic approach in mind in taking lectures and studying abroad. (Second half) Identity development and academic life: Challenges experienced in adolescence. 4. Research ethics Code of conduct for research integrity, and scientific misconducts. Falsification, fabrication, and plagiarism are discussed. 5. Campus tour to visit the University's facilities Students visit the Nature and Science Museum of the University and other facilities. Part II : Faculty-Specific Program #6- Experiments Nucleophilic substitution reaction for Alkyl halides Environmental analysis ~Inorganic qualitative analysis~ Fabrication of plastic cell Thin-layer chromatography DNA analysis and Electrophoresis Scientific criminal investigation ~Synthesis of fluorophore and observation of luminescence behavior~ Oxidation-reduction titration of vitamin C Synthesis of acetanilide Research workshop |
| 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 :Students entering this class are assumed to have a prior experimental knowledge of high-school level. |
| Required Text(s) and Materials |
|
Part I :Handouts and exercise materials are provided during the class Part II :The experimental textbook will be available at the University Co-op Store. |

| Assessment/Grading |
|
Part I (16%)：Marks are given based on worksheets collected at the end of each class. Part II (84%)：Total evaluation of "attitude for experiments", "homework", and "reports". Details will be explained at the orientation. |
| Message from instructor(s) |
| Experiment course is integrated course of science. The registered students should understand backgrounds and theories of each experiment by reading the textbook and other supplementary materials beforehand, participate in the experiments, and submit reports of the corresponding experiments. Please do not attend the classes aimlessly. Your active participation is expected. |
