This course provides an overview of the history of Japanese literature from ancient (上代) to pre-modern times. The goal of this class is to understand traditional Japanese literature deeply by examining certain representative works from each period, genre by genre. Students will learn about the background and analyze the content of each work, i.e. Heian Court literature, medieval military literature, pre-modern Chonin (町人) literature, to gain a broad understanding of traditional Japanese society. 

This course introduces students to practical and experimental aspects of user interface design and programming, with the intention of demystifying the digital products we use in everyday life. Students will learn the fundamental principles of user interface design; use UI Design software such as Figma to make interactive prototypes, and write basic HTML/CSS/Javascript to create web interfaces. In addition to creating conventional user interface designs, students will be challenged to create interfaces that have conceptual and non-traditional outcomes that speak to their personal interests and motivations. In response to a partial history of User Interface design, students will be compelled to situate their work in the context of the development of Human Computer Interaction for art and design. This context will be given via in-class lectures, hands-on exercises, guest lectures, and a workshop.  

This course provides an overview of the field of marine drug discovery and development and is designed to meet the needs of oceanographers, biologists and chemists interested in this topic. This course focuses on the entire process of drug discovery and development which necessitates the expertise of many disciplines such as marine natural product chemistry, biology, organic and medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, toxicology, and basic and clinical medicine. In addition, basic skills in the discovery of marine drug hits will be practiced in the lab.  

This course introduces basic and advanced mathematics used in engineering to develop an awareness and an appreciation of the role of mathematics in engineering. This course deals with mathematical principles, methods, and modeling.

The goal of this course is to develop the ability to use advanced Japanese constructions and expressions through reading articles helpful in understanding Japan and Japanese people. Students will extensively learn sentences and vocabulary used in academic material, and thus develop the ability to read scholarly Japanese writing accurately and at sufficient speed. Furthermore, students will deepen their understanding of Japan and the Japanese people as a part of their liberal arts education. 

This course introduces thermodynamics in materials. It covers phase equilibrium, calculation of heat capacitance, and the relation between free energy and phase diagram. 

This course provides an overview of major subfields in linguistics, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, and historical linguistics. By the end of the course, students are expected to better understand key issues, methodologies, and data involved in modern linguistic theories, and how linguists approach the study of human language.
