Outline and Purpose of the Course A basic understanding of electrical and electronic engineering is required to study and develop mechanical systems, control systems, and sensor systems used in various fields. This lecture aims to teach the basics of electrical and electronic engineering by explaining electrical circuit theory, analog electronic circuits, and digital circuits.
 Electronics technology is diverse and advancing every day, so this half-year course cannot cover everything. However, its careful explanation of the basics will enable students to acquire the ability to learn by themselves when they need to know the latest knowledge. This course also explains relations with vibrational science and control engineering and will help students deepen their understanding of each subject.
 During lectures, demonstrations of electronic circuits using real objects and simulations will be conducted as appropriate.
Course Goals ・Learn the basic theories of electric and electronic engineering and be able to create simple designs.
・Deepen understanding through examples of real-world applications of the theories.
・Acquire the basic abilities to learn independently when the latest knowledge is needed in the future.
・Understand concepts common to vibrational science and control engineering.
Schedule and Contents Students will learn the fundamentals of electrical and electronic engineering and deepen their understanding through examples of applications and sample problems. Actual or simulated demonstrations of electronic circuits will be performed as appropriate.

[Final Examination]
Lecture 15: Feedback, supplemental class details: Based on the results of reports and tests, we will examine topics and supplementary items that require further understanding as a whole class. Questions from students regarding course content will be answered.
Evaluation Methods and Policy Grading method: Grading will be based on each quiz, report, and final exam to assess whether or not students have a solid knowledge of basic theory, basic knowledge, and the ability to learn up-to-date electric and electronic engineering knowledge on their own as necessary rather than merely memorizing knowledge. Grading will be done based on the above considerations, with 40% consisting of usual performance scores (from each quiz) and 60% consisting of exams (reports, final exam). Depending on the prevalence of COVID-19, the final exam may be replaced by a report test.

Grading criteria: Grading criteria and policies are based on the grading criteria and policies described in the Handbook of the Faculty of Agriculture for the applicable year.
Course Requirements None in particular
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) Preview: Each topic should be examined in advance using reference books, etc.

Review: To compensate for the lack of understanding, review the sample problems and exercises in the lecture materials until you can solve them.
   Work to ensure you understand the content learned in lecture using reference books, etc.
   Research the course content on your own, expand your range of knowledge, and deepen your understanding.
Textbooks Textbooks/References Additional materials will be distributed during the lectures.
