Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review Enough preparation and review of each class is necessary because many contents are taught in each class.

Requirements ・As a general rule, the students must attend all classes.
・The students download the PDF of the textbook in advance and check it on your PC.
・This course is useful for the following applied subjects: automatic control, circuit theory, robotics, artificial intelligence, human interaction

Grading Method Grades will be determined based on the extent to which the course objectives have been achieved, and a grade of 60 or more will be considered a passing grade. Grades will be determined based on the content of the submitted reports.

Practical Experience

Summary of Practical Experience and Class Contents based on it

Message When considering the design and operation of engineering systems, knowledge about humans is essential. It is important in any engineering field to be able to understand human characteristics from an engineering perspective and to acquire the ability to apply this knowledge. The aim of this lecture is to achieve this.
