Course Description
This course is designed for students with no Japanese learning background. Students develop essential foundation of Japanese literacy in order to be able to engage in social events and situations in an appropriate manner, while drawing on their background knowledge in their first language. Students are introduced to the two sets of Japanese syllabaries (hiragana and katakana) and around 60 kanji characters. Students develop communication skills required to deal with initial social encounters (self-introduction and greetings), exchanging information on everyday life routines and surroundings, and activities in which they are likely to engage in establishing a new life in a foreign country (e.g. shopping, finding ways). Students also develop skills to enable them to get by in everyday life in Japan. In addition, students will develop intercultural understanding through identification of common Japanese rituals and routines, reflecting on their own culture and comparing between them.

Course Description
In the 1920s, China was likened to a sleeping lion - one whose roar would shake the world when it awoke. This prediction has already proved true more than once. Why was China ever said to be "asleep"? How did a whole nation awaken, to what, and with what results? This course traces the forces of nationalism and revolution through China's tumultuous twentieth century. We focus upon making sense, in Chinese terms, of events that outsiders have found baffling.

Course Description
This course is a group research project focusing on a specific topic chosen from a list of approved topics selected by the participating faculty coordinators prior to the commencement of the program. Data collection and research activities are carried out as a group throughout the duration of the program, with the final research report completed independently. The research reports are submitted individually, with students presenting their research in their groups within a seminar structure. The project topic can come from any of the themes delivered throughout the program and will be developed based on factors such as faculty and local expertise, equipment availability, and ethical considerations. This project represents an outstanding opportunity for students to develop real-world research skills and practical solutions for challenging problems.

Course Description
This course focuses on the principles governing the state of motion or rest of bodies under the influence of applied force and torque, according to classical mechanics. The course covers the fundamental principles of the kinematics and kinetics of systems of particles, rigid bodies, planar mechanisms, three-dimensional mechanisms, covering topics including kinematics in various coordinate systems, Newton's laws of motion, work and energy principles, impulse and momentum (linear and angular), gyroscopic motion and vibration. Students develop skills in analyzing and modeling dynamical systems, using both analytical methods and computer-based solutions using MATLAB. Students gain experience in approximating the dynamic behavior of real systems in engineering applications and an appreciation and understanding of the effect of approximations in the development and design of systems in real-world engineering tasks.
