This international collaborative learning course is designed to develop practical and empathetic communication skills through group work and experiential practices in holistic communication. It focuses on enhancing one's self-awareness, interpersonal communication, and empathy by studying mindfulness, deep listening, and storytelling techniques. 

This course teaches background knowledge in Resource and Environmental Economics as well as the basic principles of Agricultural Economics, Farm Management Science, Remote Sensing and Life Cycle Assessment of Goods.

Widely used in corporate employee training, the Emotional Intelligence Quotient (EQ), which has been developed since 1990, seeks to understand and improve emotional abilities for leadership in organizations and enhances the effectiveness of career design. This course is designed to deepen students' understanding of how to develop their careers in a diversified society and organizations through lectures with guest speakers who have worked different careers. The program is structured as a practical education program for students to internalize through reality-based learning and exercises a series of employment-related events such as recruitment, training, evaluation, compensation, retirement, and post-employment career, which occur in companies and various social organizations.

 

This course teaches fundamental knowledge of manufacturing technologies focusing on mechanical removal processes and MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System).

Machining is denoted as a series of material-working processes which enable the manufacturing of industrial products having various shapes and functions. The fundamentals of four typical material-removal machining methods are introduced: cutting, grinding, polishing and non-traditional machining. The course emphasizes new technologies which can improve the accuracy, quality, and function of the products.

This course teaches basic knowledge of the structure and functions of computers. Starting with the history of computers, the course explains the mechanisms of how they work and their future.  The course covers the representation of numbers; Boolean algerbra; combinatorial circuits; sequential circuits; computer architecutre; arithmetic, control, and memory systems; high performance computing; compilers; I/O and operating systems, and computer networks. 

When an elastic body is subjected to a load, it deforms and causes stresses. This course explains the basis of continuum mechanics called elasticity, which treats these phenomena mathematically and where deformation is assumed to be infinitesimal.

Course Prerequisites: It is assumed that class participants have fundamental knowledge in "Mechanics of Materials" and "Mathematics."

This course covers the concepts and analytical methods of basic mechanisms to achieve desired mechanical motions.  By the end of this course, students are expected to understand the basic concept of planning and designing of mechanical systems. 

This course provides opportunities to learn about the basics of Japanese society through its foreign language education system. The class develops a comparative view of the education/learning system and its practice between Japan and other countries/regions. 

This course explores the characteristics of manufacturing technologies to acquire basic knowledge for designing and planning implements. The course covers an introduction to material processing; creation of materials; forming processes; machining and finishing processes; joining processes, and surface treatment and modification processes.
