Course description
This course aims to acquire knowledge and skills in geology and mineralogy in relation to material science. With an awareness of the relationship between the earth's environment and humankind, students are asked to practice instrumental analysis, polishing and microstructural observation, and obtaining and analyzing published data on metals, alloys, and minerals used as raw materials and materials, and also learn how to analyze and visualize data using computers, and write and submit experimental reports. Students will also learn how to communicate their knowledge and experience to others through the analysis and visualization of data using computers, and the writing and submission of experimental reports.
Purpose of class
Acquire basic experimental techniques and reporting skills in the Environmental Materials Engineering course. Understand the relationship between materials and the environment from a geoscientific and materials science perspective through experiments using techniques such as microstructural observation, smelting, characterization, and analysis of metals, minerals, and rocks as the main subjects.
Goals and objectives
  1. Students will be able to acquire and practice the basic knowledge and skills of experiments in geology and mineralogy.
  2. Students are aware of the hazards and environmental impact of experiments and are able to act with consideration for the environment and safety.
  3. Students will be able to acquire and practice the principles, theory and techniques of various measurement and testing methods.
  4. Students will understand how to use computers to organize data and compile reports, and will be able to compile actual reports.
