Outline (in English)

Course Outline
The main themes of the course are "Science, Technology and Society" and "Science, Technology and Human Beings" to enable students to see a sustainable future. Specifically, each student will set an issue (question) from the perspective of "human beings," "environment," and "science and technology," and conduct literature research and subscriptions, make presentations, plan workshops, and write end-of-year reports, with the aim of cultivating the ability to discover issues (the ability to question), think logically (the ability to think in a logical manner), and think critically (the ability to think appropriately). Themes will be based on "human beings," "environment," and "science and technology," but students will be free to choose their own themes based on their own interests. There will also be opportunities to expand practical experiences for the future, such as the "Challenge Debriefing Session," where students will report on challenges they have never experienced before, and the "Reading Session," where students will share their reading experiences.

Learning Objectives
Through research activities in which students set their own problems (questions), this class aims to develop (1) problem finding and analysis skills, (2) problem solving skills, (3) logical thinking skills, (4) information management skills, and (5) information transmission skills. Through these activities, students are expected to deepen their consideration of the issues of "science, technology and society" and "science, technology and human beings". By planning and running each workshop, this class also aims to cultivate (5) communication skills, (6) schedule management skills, (7) teamwork skills, (8) facilitation skills, and (9) leadership skills. Through these activities, students are expected to learn attitudes and behaviors to deal with the issues of "science, technology and society" and "science, technology and human beings".


Learning activities outside of classroom
Throughout the course period, please pay attention to the problems brought about by technology based on newspapers, movies, science fiction novels, etc., and consider them as problems that concern you. In addition, please take the time to think about the cases we will discuss in class before and after it, and formulate your own ideas. Before/after each class meeting, students will be expected to spend four hours to understand the course content.
