The development of industry is supported by materials, which are involved in all fields of engineering. In a recycling-oriented
ecological society, it is important to learn the fundamentals for more effective selection and processing of materials and
rational design of materials. The class cover a wide range of topics from basic materials to advanced materials, with explanations
in English as necessary. The lecture also explain the relationship between humans, society, and nature from global and historical
viewpoints. This class begins with a quiz on materials in our daily lives, followed by explanations of the basic knowledge,
and a mini-test to check the level of understanding of the lecture content.
As a foundation of materials in a recycling-oriented ecological society, the first half of the class focuses on understanding
the states of solid, liquid, and gas, plasma, and the relationships of these phases as phase diagrams. In particular, regarding
materials in the solid state, the nanoscopic level based on atomic and molecular models, the macroscopic level to discuss
the properties of objects such as structures and products, and the mesoscopic level to control the structure and structure
of solid materials are studied. Several examples are given to help understanding of the framework of materials science. The
second half of the course focuses on applied materials, including 1) mechanical properties of structural materials and their
applications, 2) electrical and optical properties of materials, 3) properties and control of tool and mold materials in manufacturing,
4) thermoelectric properties and hydrogen technology, and 5) safety and security materials, discussing principles, properties,
and application development of materials in relation to the environment.
