To satisfy the target properties of adhesives, we had developed a new material design system (weak conditioned combinatorial linear programming (WCCLP) and user friendly software) which is effective and useful to search the combination of a well-balanced material. We have also proposed an algorithm of risk evaluation by the WCCLP to optimize the material supply. In this report, we applied this algorithm to the time-series properties. The algorithm is effective and useful to design and optimization of time-series properties.

To satisfy the target properties of adhesives, we had developed a novel material design system (weak conditioned combinatorial linear programming (WCCLP) and user friendly software) which is effective to search the combination of a well-balanced material. In the actual process of material development, the target properties are not always clear. In such cases, WCCLP is useful to find target properties and optimization of properties. For dimension reduction of properties/formulation matrix, we introduce matrix for judgment and valuation function and algorism. By these methods, we can judge the possibility of dimension reduction.

The number of experiment to find target value is related to the error of the predicted value.

We have developed a workshop “How a Computer Works” Aimed for Intuitive Comprehension and Motivation. In this paper, we describe instructional design of the self-learning materials and the workshop, and assess them. Our instructional objectives are verbal information where students learn technical terms and intellectual skills where the students describe how a computer works with drawing a figure. Our strategies include that the students acquire the verbal information with reading the self-learning materials and that they acquire the intellectual skills by the workshop. We also survey the students to assess their perceptions of the workshop. We received 58 valid responses from among 60 students. The following is a summary of the survey responses: (1) Fifty-four of the 58 (93%) students answered that the workshop was enjoyable. (2) Enjoyment of the workshop seemed to relate to the students’ confidence about achievement of the objectives. We will teach the full-scale course in the fall of 2014 based on this study.
