Academics (Index)
Here are the classes I took during my study abroad. Unfortunately, I disposed
many notes and textbooks so I cannot provide much information about those particular
subjects, but I tried hard to recall.
Abbreviations used in subjects
In most of the subjects you study uses abbreviations on its subject. For
example, English class uses ENGL, and Mathematics uses MATH. This becomes handy
for many engineering classes since Aerospace Engineering (20 characters) becomes
to AE (only 2 characters)
- AE - Aerospace Engineering
- ME - Mechanical Engineering
- CHEM - Chemistry
- MATH - Mathematics
- PHYS - Physics
- ENGL - English
- ECON - Economics
- KSS - Kinesiology and Science, fancy name for PE.
- PE - Physical Education (Later changed to KSS, Kinesiology and Science)
- IE or IEN - Industrial Engineering
IELC (Intensive English Language Center)
When I was in the English school, there were six different levels. The
classes are renamed after I graduate and I am not sure why they call them. The way
how I describe it is my personal (Japanese) standard.
- Pre-Intermediate - Very simple class, below
high school grad level
- Intermediate I - High school grad level
- Intermediate II - somewhere in the middle
between Japanese high school and Japanese college English skill
- Advanced I - Japanese college English skill
- Advanced II - Japanese college student who
does well in English
- Pre-Academic - Senior in college, graduate
level in English. I only know one Japanese who started from here.
Undergraduate (Bachelor of Science, Mechanical Engineering)
My major was in Mechanical Engineering, there are some changes since I
graduated but I am not familiar with those changes.
Graduate School (Master of Science, Aerospace Engineering)
I do not believe there will be more changes coming but these are the classes
I took during the course of study.
- AE 424 - Aerodynamics Theory
- AE 527 - Numerical Method in Engineering
- AE 653 - Composite Materials Technologies
- AE 722 - Finite Element Analysis I
- AE 731 - Theory of Elasticity
- AE 733 - Advanced Mechanics of Materials
- AE 737 - Mechanics of Damage Tolerance
- AE 777 - Vibration Analysis
- AE 822 - Finite Element Analysis II
- AE 878 - Master of Science Directed Project
- MATH 757 - Partial Differential Equation for Engineers
- MATH 758 - Complex and Vector Analysis for Engineers
