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 : Faculty-Specific Program This lecture aims to help freshmen acquire fundamental skills for scientific and engineering expert through basic and topical experiments related to physics, chemistry and scientific measurement which are fundamental for Mechanical Systems Engineering. |

| Assessment/Grading |
|
Part I (16%)： Marks are given based on worksheets collected at the end of each class. Part II (84%)： Learning attitudes: 40%, Experimental activity: 10 %, Oral examination: 10%, Reports and presentation: 40% |
| Message from instructor(s) |
|
We highly recommend that students actively participate in the experiment course. Before conducting each experiment, students must study backgrounds and theories of the experiments by reading the instruction text and other materials. Preparation and clearance for experimental materials after conducting experiments are also required. |
