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.

学生の意見等からの気づきChanges following student comments
Topics that required more attention have been expanded. Compared with previous years, some topics have been renewed as new lecturers join the present course.
This is an Open-Global Course, and therefore, students from other campuses different from Koganei are also welcome to enroll. Considering the timetable difference from different campuses, appropriate adjustments will be arranged.
学生が準備すべき機器他Equipment student needs to prepare
For online classes, computers with audiovisual capabilities and internet access are required. Some, if not most materials can be downloaded prior or during class via the Hoppii system.
