Course description
Material science, one of the important sciences that supports the development of industries, is an important study involved in all fields of engineering. Corresponding to remarkable progress, basic knowledge for selection of more effective materials and rational design is environmentally and historically important. In this lecture including quiz and mini-test, we would explain the familiar examples from the basics of materials to advanced materials in Japanese/English.
Purpose of class
To understand the state of solid-liquid-gas plasma as the basis of material science and the relationship between the phases as a state diagram. Regarding solid state materials in particular, to learn for the microscopic world based on atomic and molecular images and the framework of material science through example. In the latter part, material applications are introduced as follows;
1) material mechanical properties and their applications,
2) electrical and optical properties of materials,
3) characteristics of tool and mold material in manufacturing,
4) thermoelectric characteristics and hydrogen technology,
5) Learn the link between principle and characteristics - application development for safe.
Goals and objectives
  1. To understand the structure of substance and the physical property in Japanese/English.
  2. To understand the fundamentals of thermodynamics and the relationship between each phenomenon change and heat in matter in Japanese/English.
  3. To understand the basis of the mechanical properties for materials in Japanese/English.
  4. To understand the functions of optoelectrical properties for materials in Japanese/English.
Language
Japanese(English accepted)
