Course description
*See the 2021 syllabus for the class held on 2021.

In this course, students will acquire the elementary knowledge of information and communications engineering through "making things" of both hardware and software. In order to provide detailed guidance, students are divided into two groups by odd / even numbers of their IDs. Students in odd number group take hardware practice classes in the first half seven times, then take software practice classes in the latter half seven times. On the contorary, students in even number group take software practice classes in the first half seven times and take hardware practice classes in the latter half seven times. Furthermore, we provide a place to create friends for freshmen who are not yet familiar with the environment through practices. We also aim to deepen the understanding of the contents of our department's research activities by visiting the laboratories at Toyosu campus.
  In the hardware practice of this course, students actually make a basic circuit and learn knowledge about the parts being used, how to use measurement equipments such as oscilloscope and function generator, how to use the equipment such as power supply and so on. In the final class, students submit a report, and visit laboratories at Toyosu campus.
  In the software practice of this course, students learn the C programming language, and get used to computers and programming through making programs. In practices of programming, students experience programming for elements of information and communications engineering.
Purpose of class
In the hardware practice, through basic electronic circuit fabrication and checking its operation, learn basic knowledge of parts to be used and how to use the equipment such as oscilloscope, function generator, power supply.
In the software practice, the purpose is to get used to computers and programming through making C programs and to learn elementary knowledge about software.
Goals and objectives
  1. it is possible to understand the functions of measuring instruments such as oscilloscopes and handle them correctly.
  2. It is possible to understand the function of parts used in electronic circuits and to use them appropriately.
  3. it is possible to make basic programs such as printing and reading functions, numerical operation, and control programming flow.
  4. It is possible to handle computers.

Evaluation method and criteria
-Twice or more absence is considered to abandonment in each (hardware and software) practice.

-In the hardware practice, fabricated circuit (10%) and the submitted reports (90%) are evaluated. full score is 100points.

It is possible to acquire more than 60 points by executing each experiment without fail , completing the circuit, submitting the report at the last class.

-In the software practice, grade is judged by assignments in each class (60%) and the result of examination (40%).

It is possible to acquire more than 60 points by making basic C language programs learned in this class.

-The average of hardware and software practices is an evaluation points, and passing standard is over 60 points.
Textbooks and reference materials
In the hardware practice, texts (including report assignments) and presentation materials in each class will be uploaded on the Scomb by the day before the class.
Students have to prepare (print (*) and check in advance) and bring them class.
(*) Please check SIC (Scholarly Information Center) webpage (http://www.sic.shibaura-it.ac.jp/indexBOX/print/print_win/index.html) how to use printers from the PCs on the campus. Monochrome print is enough (though the materials are colored).

In the software practice, two text books are used.
