Artificial intelligence may have a great impact on society in the future. In order to understand capabilities and limits of artificial intelligence, it is necessary to understand computers as its foundation.
In the first half of this course, we learn fundamental knowledge of practical usage of computers and networks in SFC. In the second half, we learn programming skills which are necessary to take advantage of computers.
After this course, you will be able to learn advanced programming skills in Fundamentals of Information Technology 2.
This course is mainly focused on Structural Biology to aim in the understanding of the biological significances of "structure" in molecules.
During the first half (1-7th time), you will learn how to insert a recombinant gene into a plasmid vector and analyze its gene expression in the bacteria Escherichia coli. During the last half (8-14th time), you will learn how to culture human cells, transfect plasmids, and edit the human genome using the CRISPR/Cas9 system.
Design maintaining nature capital and conserving ecosystem service is necessary for sustainable development in urban and rural areas and natural reserve. The design with nature using ecosystem services wisely is called ecological design. In the class, students study ecological design concepts, spatial planning, natural and living materials for design, nature restoration, and monitoring methods through a whole process of a project. Students should understand natural processes and basic concepts and methods of ecological design in the class. There will be lectures, including guest ones, fieldwork, and group work. Also, there should be some reports during and after class.
There is common difficulties and challenge in design of artifact today.Product design, Architecture design and Environmental design have to be situated in a context logicaly with both intuitive sense and rational methodology to creat it . By investigationg and about relationship between design and information technologies from many aspects, this subject will become more scientific and promising.
Espacially, when a media to connect reality and design is sifting towards data repreesentation, it became possible to be computationally processed, shared, and simulated. We start taking advantages of very compricated status of geometry with an algorithmto adapt functional requirements of different environmental factors such as structure, sound, heat, light energy etc .

Students learn the relationship between human life and the environment in urban areas. Environmental problems have become more severe in the history. Notably, the population in urban areas increased dramatically, and urban environmental problems had to be resolved in many ways after industrial evolution. Open space and urban greenery have played a significant role in human life. At the end of the class, students consider sustainable urban living in the future.
The purpose of this course is to consider the problems of contemporary society from the perspective of the humanities. Before we optimistically assume that the world of globalization is a world connected by a single set of values, we must begin by asking the question: do people really understand each other? For people to communicate with each other, words are needed, but can these words function as a transparent and colorless tool? And when we talk about "people" and "people", do they really communicate with the same values? With these questions in mind, this course will examine the meaning of "language" and "people" from the perspectives of philosophy, literature, history, and art, before turning to actual events.
This lecture aims to understand the basis of Islamic teachings.

When we examine different regions, it is important to understand their culture. The broad concept of culture includes elements such as among others history, religion, language and art. Furthermore we can also say that in its core this concept also merges with the idea of community. This lecture will be conducted jointly by professors of the German and French sections. Although to a certain extent we can not avoid focusing on Germany and France, the goal of this lecture is to approach the true nature of “Europe” especially through the investigation of its western parts. While experiencing ups and downs, Europe has advanced towards unification. In this sense, Europe is getting closer to becoming a region that has overcome borders. At the same time national borders do not
always coincide with linguistic and cultural borders. Furthermore European states are often marked by different regional identities inside their national borders. Investigating this diverse Europe will have a great importance in the 21st century.
This lecture is aimed at students with little prior knowledge about the European Union. After an overview of European integration from the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC, 1951) to today’s European Union, the EU’s main institutions and political stakeholders will be examined. How are the European commission, the European Council, the European Parliament or the European Court of Justice set up? What are their powers and competences, and what is the process of creating European policies and laws? The lecture will then address the workings of the European Union considering specific policy fields like foreign policy, security policy or agriculture policy, as well as the handling of specific problem situations like the financial crisis or the refugee crisis, before finally looking at various options for future developments.
