Yes, we know that working with cables and electricity can be somewhat intimidating. Especially if, like me, you’ve at some point suffered the consequences of touching a wire thinking it was disconnected from the power source.
But putting aside those bad experiences, it’s essential to understand the disciplines that deal with the management and creation of electronic devices, as well as the design of electrical systems that bring electricity into our homes.
This is where electrical and electronic engineering come into play, two crucial disciplines in the construction of the modern and technologically advanced world we live in.
These branches of engineering are the foundation of many of the conveniences and technological advancements we enjoy today.
If you don’t want to get an electric shock when changing the light bulb in your kitchen or if you’re curious about everything electronic and electrical, I have excellent news for you.
The Tokyo Institute of Technology, known as Tokyo Tech, has launched an exciting free course aimed at providing a solid understanding of electrical and electronic engineering.
This course is not only an opportunity for those interested in these fields of engineering, but it also offers a glimpse into the technological future and the innovations that lie ahead.
The course begins with an immersion in the fundamentals of electrical and electronic engineering. Students will explore topics ranging from solar cells and batteries to portable mobile phones and applications developed by Japanese companies, including high-speed railways.
Additionally, they will have exclusive access to advanced research conducted in high-tech laboratories in Japan.
Course instructors have industry experience in Japan. Moreover, course materials, including slides, quizzes, and final reports, are provided. It is designed for anyone interested in electrical and electronic engineering but will be especially beneficial for engineering and electronics students.
A high school-level knowledge of mathematics, physics, and chemistry is recommended to fully benefit from the course. Furthermore, a computer with a stable internet connection is required to access the content.
The program, with an estimated duration of 4 weeks, will cover topics such as:
- Electromagnetic Applications
- Electronic Materials
- Electronic Devices
- Wireless Communication
Accessing this valuable course is straightforward, and best of all, it’s free. You just need to visit the edX website, where the Tokyo Tech course is hosted, at this link and log in or create an account if you don’t have one.
Participants are expected to dedicate 2 to 3 hours of study per week to complete the course.
Don’t miss the opportunity to learn about electrical and electronic engineering with the course offered by Tokyo Tech.
