COURSE DETAIL
This six-week summer course provides individual research training through the experience of belonging to a specific laboratory at Tohoku University. Students are assigned to a laboratory research group with Japanese and international students under the supervision of Tohoku University faculty. They participate in various group activities, including seminars, for the purpose of training in research methods and developing teamwork skills. The specific topic studied depends on the instructor in charge of the laboratory to which each student is assigned. The methods of assessment vary with the student's project and laboratory instructor. Students submit an abstract concerning the results of their individual research each semester and present the results near the end of this program.
COURSE DETAIL
This course provides knowledge and experience in project form under strict deadlines. The students design and manufacture a complete car concept in the form of a formula car, where the entire process from initiation, feasibility study, planning, implementation and closure is treated. This course deals with the implementation and closure of inherited problems from Formula Student 1 - Initiation, Pre-Study and Design. In the course, students shoulder all the roles of a project group and through the course gain skills in applying knowledge from previous courses such as mechanics, electrical engineering, programming, solid mechanics, construction technology, manufacturing methods, and vehicle technology. Admission requirements include completion of a minimum of 100 credits within relevant programs and MVKP05 Formula Student 1 - Initiation, Pre-study and Design.
COURSE DETAIL
This course serves as a starting point to develop an engineer’s ability to select a material based on cost and performance, understand limitations and how properties change in service and the ability to critically assess new materials for a given application. Furthermore, this course provides an introduction to materials engineering and materials science. It also introduces the primary classes of materials, and to develop an understanding of types of interatomic, crystal, and molecular bonding in engineering materials and their influence on mechanical properties. Students develop an understanding of the modes of failure for different classes of materials. This course introduces brittle fracture, and to develop an understanding of the ways in which a flaw within a material can influence its response to loading.
COURSE DETAIL
Electricity consumption in the world is increasing, both in terms of quantity and as a proportion of total energy consumption. Wind power has the potential to make a major contribution to the electricity generation and this with very low CO2 emissions.
The course covers wind turbine design and operation as well as of atmospheric flows and the wind’s interaction with the turbines and their surroundings. The course describes the operation of the wind power plants, aero- and structural dynamics and control. Furthermore, special attention is paid to wind and wind measurements and, more comprehensively, electrical, political, economic and environmental aspects.
COURSE DETAIL
This course acquires knowledge and skills about the principles, methods, and tools used in industry in the development of complex product systems. The course develops beyond one's own engineering discipline, to understand holistically a product development project, including the system-technical and economic perspectives over the product's entire life cycle, the project risks and technical risks, as well as a basic understanding of socio-technical systems – for example a product and its users, or a technical development organization.
COURSE DETAIL
The course is an introduction to manufacturing processes, ranging from machining operations to production quality control and production cost analysis, according to requirements of the Smart Manufacturing. The course provides an overview of systems and methods to monitor the machining operations and control the production quality by in- and post-process measurements. Part of the course is focused on introduction to the development of data acquisition and monitoring systems based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques and their implementation in manufacturing processes in academy and industry environments. The course is given as lectures with computer exercises and laboratory sessions and a task to train the student to elaborate on the material presented in the lectures. A project gives the student an opportunity to independently solve a problem for automatized process monitoring and production control. Assumed prior knowledge: MMT012/MMTF20 Production and Manufacturing Methods or MMTA05 Production Systems or MMTF01 Production and FKM015/FKMA01 Materials Engineering, Basic Course.
