| Course description |
| In this course, we will learn how the basic principles of physics we have learned so far relate to the shape, behavior, and function of living things through specific examples. Based on the explanations and specific examples for each theme, each group will discuss other examples and applications, and then each student will write a report and make a presentation. Through these discussions and presentations, students will acquire the "ability to use physics" for understanding phenomena and engineering applications. |
| Expected Learning |
|
1. To be able to consider the shapes, behaviors, and functions of living things based on the basic principles of physics. 2. To be able to "use physics" for understanding phenomena and engineering applications. |
