Course description
In this course, students will acquire the elementary knowledge of information and communications engineering through "making things" of both hardware and software. Students will also learn law and ethics for treating data through watching movies and making reports on information ethics.
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 period, then take software practice classes in the latter half periods. On the contrary, students in even number group take software practice classes in the first half periods and take hardware practice classes in the latter half periods.
Furthermore, we provide a guidance on mental health care and a briefing session for career development for freshmen, who are not yet familiar with the environment. 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 instruments such as oscilloscope and function generator, how to use the equipment such as power supply and so on.

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 and learn elementary knowledge about software through making C programs and to.
In watching movies and making reports on information ethics, the purpose is to learn law and ethics for treating data.
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.
  5. It is possible to understand law and ethics for treating data and to consider them accurately.

Evaluation method and criteria
- Watching movies on information ethics and submitting reports to the Scomb are prerequisites for acquiring credits.
-Twice or more absence is considered to abandonment in each (hardware and software) practice.
-In the hardware practice, fabricated circuit (10%) , submitted reports (70%) , and examination (20%) 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 for all classes.
-In the software practice, grade is judged by assignments in each class (100%).
It is possible to acquire more than 60 points by making basic C language programs learned in this class.
-Evaluation point is the sum of the hardware score multiplied by 0.47, the software score multiplied by 0.47, and the score of the watching movies on information ethics and making reports on the scomb multiplied by 0.06. Passing standard is over 60 point
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 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.
