Goal : Educating mechatronics engineer



Related discipline

• 1. Electrical and Electronic・・・Peripheral device and its interface

circuit, Sensor interface, Actuator drive circuit, filter circuit

• 2. Computer and Information technology・・・

micro processor, digital circuit design, programming etc

• 3. Automatic Control ・・・Feedback Control, PLC, Digital Signal

Processing

• 4. Mechanical Engineering・・・Mechanics, Kinematics, Machine

Element, Material Mechanics, etc

Key Concept

１．Pedagogy for engineering/technology education would transferred based on applying integration of knowledge and hands on skill ２．Tutoring & Lab is organically connected with step up teaching material. （PBL（Problem Based Learning/Project Based) ） ３．Shared goal by student and educator （Also sub-goal is cleared by them.）
