This course explores the reconstruction efforts in coastal Fukushima following the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, Tsunami, and Nuclear Accident. It emphasizes the roles of local communities and emerging industries. Through field visits to Futaba Town in Fukushima, the class analyzes the impacts of the disaster; understands reconstruction challenges, and develops multidisciplinary problem-solving skills. The course foster empathy, equipping international and domestic students to learn together and addressing town-building challenges from a global perspective.

This course explores screenwriting as a tool for cultural storytelling.

This course discusses the basic theories and analysis methods for electromagnetic fields in vacuum and dielectric/magnetic media: Maxwell's equations, plane wave and its reflection/transmission, dielectric/magnetic media and their boundary conditions, etc. It also explores the basic principles and analysis methods for electromagnetic induction and radiation: Faraday's law, radiation from electric dipole, etc. 

This course explains the basics of semiconductor devices and electronic circuits. It also studies the fundamentals of transistor amplifier circuits for alternating current and digital circuits for logic operations.

This course combines foundational machine learning concepts with hands-on competitive challenges, preparing students to become effective data scientists in collaborative international environments. The class will be assigned to mixed teams of international and domestic students, tackling real-world datasets through Kaggle-style competitions. 

This course covers fundamental concepts for ensuring nuclear safety; the roles of regulatory authorities, and issues related to the Fukushima incident. It emphasizes the technical essentials of nuclear safety regulation, including the roles of nuclear regulatory administration and safety research; deterministic safety assessment; probabilistic safety assessment, and risk quantification. 

This course focuses on utilizing a computer to master mathematical skills. Starting with the basic usage of Octave (or MATLAB), the class instructs on how one can solve various mathematical problems by writing and executing simple programs.
