Course Contents/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome

The aim of this course provides an opportunity for sophomore level students to have an intensive laboratory experience on the basic science and technology (S&T) in order to open the door to the next cutting-edge S&T.
All students take the mini-lecture concerning experiment safety guidelines, how to write a laboratory notebook & an experimental report, the conceptual framework & analytical skills etc. and then perform the experiment to submit an experimental report until the next week. Students in the spring semester perform the experiment on A-B-C themes (or students in the fall semester perform the experiment on A-B-D themes) from among the following themes. All students must perform the experiment with each of the 12 issues to submit the experimental reports and discuss them. All students are required to write 12 laboratory reports.

 A. Advanced Mechanics Experiment. 
     1. Analog operating circuits.
     2. Transfer of heat.
     3. Measurement of stress and strain.
     4. Experiment in fluid.
     5. Metal cutting works.
 B. Advanced Physics Experiment. 
     1. Interference of sound waves.
     2. Polarization.
     3. Spectroscopy.
     4. Fourier analysis and the synthesis.
     5. Resonance in a circuit.
     6. Michelson interferometer.
     7. Nuclear magnetic resonance.
     8. Neural network.
 C. Advanced Chemistry Experiment. 
     1. Absorption spectrophotometry.
     2. Gas chromatography.
     3. The pH and electrolytic dissociation equilibrium.
     4. Electromotive force and equilibrium constant of a reversible battery.
 D. Advanced Industrial Engineering Experiment. 
     1. Evaluation of control panel on human factors.
     2. Experiment of work flow system.
     3. Computation complexity.
     4. Business decision problem.
     5. Graphical data analysis.
     6. Experiment on geometric probability.
