Course Summary

This course, entitled "Exploration of Sports Equipment Development," is a hands-on study of how product development is carried out at the factories of companies that actually develop sports equipment, including not only visits to manufacturing sites but also dialogues and discussions with professional engineers. High performance is required for sports equipment used by top athletes, but safety performance is also essential in sports played by ordinary people. In this class, students learn not only about the scientific evidence that has been accumulated to realize such high performance, but also about how the highly skilled professionals who support this evidence have created product development.
This year, we will focus on Toyama Prefecture, which produces many wood products such as bats, rackets, and ski boards, and textile products such as sportswear, to explore the actual situation of sports equipment development supported by local industries.
