In Physics I, mechanical engineering students will learn about the fundamental concepts of vibration, wave phenomena, and
thermodynamics. In the first half of the course, students will study thermodynamics through the basic principles of energy
conservation and entropy conservation using ideal gases. Additionally, they will learn the principles of heat engines and
heat pumps (such as air conditioners and refrigerators) as applications of thermodynamics. In the second half, students will
expand on the vibration phenomena learned in General Mechanics I to multiple degree-of-freedom systems, and will also learn
about wave phenomena such as string vibrations, sound waves, and light waves.
【Course Format】This course will be conducted through a flipped classroom format. Students will watch the lecture videos before class, and in class, they will review the material, work on exercises, engage in independent learning, and participate in demonstrations and group work. During the group work sessions, students will create a textbook in the first half of the course and, in the second half, they will each create a lecture video (like a YouTuber!) on their own.

To understand the basic concepts and laws of thermodynamics and wave phenomena in order to enable them to be applied to engineering.
- Students can understand basic ideas and laws of wave motions, and one can apply them to the concrete issues.
- Students can understand natures and behaviors of light as wave, and one can apply them to the concrete issues.
- Students can understand basic ideas and laws of thermal dynamics, and one can apply them to the concrete issues.
