授業の概要と目的(何を学ぶか)Outline and objectives
This course gives a multidisciplinary overview of Bioscience and Applied Chemistry, and how they contribute to a progressive yet sustainable society. Faculty members of three departments: Frontier Bioscience, Chemical Science and Technology, and Clinical Plant Science, will present in an easy-to-understand manner how their respective fields are contributing to the improvement of both humankind and nature.
到達目標Goal
The foremost goal of this course is to get the enrolled student acquainted with an introductory course delivered in English that demands active participation. In addition, through this course, the student will acquire a basic knowledge of Bioscience and Applied Chemistry, emphasizing the importance of coexistence between human beings and the environment, the crucial role of improving, expanding and renewing resources, in order to create a sustainable society for future generations.

7:Going from Linear to Circular.
Evolution of human society. The need for a sustainable development.
8:The many footprints of human development (AT)
What are they, and why it is so important to know what your values are. Is global warming real?
9:Exploitation of natural resources.
Production, consumption and pollution. Waste management. Recycle.
10:Genetically-modified organisms (GMO) (TA)
What are they? Concerns and safety. The Importance of being discriminating.
11:Solar energy and photovoltaic cells (HO)
In this lecture, basic principles of solar cells are studied. The new semiconductor materials for photovoltaic applications and the recent progress of the research on next-generation photovoltaics are surveyed.
12:Chemical Science and Technology (KT)
Materials chemistry based on 2D materials towards a sustainable society.
13:Clinical Plant Science(1)(YH)
Biological characteristics of fungi.
14:Clinical Plant Science(2)(KO)

授業時間外の学習(準備学習・復習・宿題等)Work to be done outside of class (preparation, etc.)
【本授業の準備・復習等の授業時間外学習は、4時間を標準とする】
Students are expected to review class materials. Further study on each topic is encouraged. Full participation of students as discussions is encouraged and will be graded.
テキスト(教科書)Textbooks
Due to the nature of emerging technologies and the multidisciplinary nature of the course, no textbook in particular is necessary, but important reference materials are listed below.
Hand-outs will be distributed for each class, or made available in advance through the supporting system Hoppii.
参考書References
Although not a textbook,
"Life in the Universe", by Sagan, C., Gould, S.J., Minsky, M. & Weinberg, S. Scientific American, 1984
"Gaia: A New Look at Life on Earth", by James Lovelock (Oxford Landmark Science, 2016), is recommended, since it covers several topics presented in class.
"The Circular Economy", by Walter R. Stahel, Taylor and Francis Group, 2019.
"Human Scale Development" (1989) Manfred Max-Neef et al. Development Dialogue.
Other references for further study will be introduced in each class, and can be downloaded from the supporting system Hoppii.
成績評価の方法と基準Grading criteria
Grading will be assessed on the student's performance in each class, based on reports, active participation, presentations, and discussion.
学生の意見等からの気づきChanges following student comments
Topics that required more attention have been expanded. The syllabus has been updated for 2021.
This is an Open-Global Course, and therefore, students from other campuses different from Koganei are also welcome to enroll. However, since class periods might differ according to the campus, some adjustments can be arranged.
Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, this course has been implemented since the year 2020 for real-time online delivery that allows attendance of students even from overseas locations. The same applies for the current year 2021. Should conditions permit, in addition to the online format, in-person classes can also be implemented in a hybrid format.
学生が準備すべき機器他Equipment student needs to prepare
Laptop computers should be brought to class when needed. Some, if not most materials can be downloaded prior or during class.
