Purpose of class
Students will develop the ability to explain concepts clearly and accurately to others. To increase their motivation to learn electronic engineering, they will build and measure textbook circuits to deepen their understanding. Furthermore, they will also work on data manipulation and control through programming.
Course description
Learning up to high school has primarily involved passive learning, such as listening to teachers’ lectures and memorizing important points or how to solve exercises. In contrast, in university-level learning, an active approach is essential, including finding open-ended topics whose answers are not given, conducting literature reviews and reflecting on experimental results, and presenting one’s own ideas in an organized manner. It also involves engaging with peers with diverse intellectual interests, expressing one’s own ideas, listening to and understanding others’ words, and collaborating to consolidate ideas.

In the lectures for the Introduction to Electronic Engineering Course, students develop the ability to communicate and summarize their ideas by shifting from instructor-led classes to self-directed learning. This approach also involves examining fundamental physical phenomena related to electronic engineering.
Goals and objectives
  1. Students will understand the appropriate learning attitudes for university-level education and, with a vision for their future, be able to establish what they should learn during their time at university.
  2. Students will be able to analyze and report on fundamental physical phenomena related to electronics engineering within a given time frame.
  3. Students will be able to clearly communicate their opinions to others and provide accurate responses to questions from their peers in an easily understandable manner.

Evaluation method and criteria
Attendance in lectures is a prerequisite. Students will be evaluated based on their engagement with assignments (40%, corresponding to ’Goals and Objectives’ 1 and 2), reports (40%, corresponding to ’Goals and Objectives’ 2), and group discussions (20%, corresponding to ’Goals and Objectives’ 3). Achievement of the goals is deemed to be reached with a score of 60% or higher.
Students will earn a score of 60% if they answer report questions appropriately and actively engage in discussions.
