The class aims to provide the basic understanding of the Earth’s atmosphere and ocean. By omitting equations as much as possible, the history of the atmosphere and ocean, mechanism on wind and rain, will be introduced. Using the basic understanding, environmental issues such as global warming, air pollution, and heat island will be discussed in the class.

This class teaches software engineering through the implementation of algorithms. Students should know basic computer science (OS, algorithms, etc.) and basic programming skills in C / C ++. Students are expected to take my "Algorithm Science" course or have completed it and have equivalent skills.

Also, the syllabus is written in English, but it is mostly technical terms. If you do not understand English at least as well as the syllabus, I recommend that you do not take the course.

This is the training course to enhance your research ability to understand and strengthen our neural communication between the brain and body, related to various functions such as thinking, feeling, learning, sensing, and moving. You will learn various methodologies such as neurophysiological wave recordings (EEG and/or EMG), neural stimulations (TMS, tDCS, tACS), neural imaging (fMRI), and computational neuroscience, and consider how to apply them for your own research.

In this semester, we will have this class online by using Zoom.

“Advanced Biosciences” seminars (Tomita, Naito, Kuroda, Kanai, Soga, Arakawa, Suzuki, Tsujimoto, and Hirayama) are operated along with “Systems Biology Project” for graduate students. All members, including faculty members, graduate students, and undergraduate students are involved in research projects.
In the first semester when you join the "Advanced Biosciences" seminars (Kenkyukai), you should take "SEMINAR B (1) Masaru Tomita."

We conduct ecological research on the organisms living in the Antarctic and the Arctic ecosystems which are currently under the pressure of environmental changes.

Design has changed and expanded its role over time. The role of esthetics, giving form and colour. The role of process improvement, such as research, prototyping and communication. The role of strategy, business model building and vision definition. ......

These changes and expansions of roles have generally been developed as techniques by design professionals. On the other hand, as some people say "design is too important to be kept only for designers", nowadays design has also started to be used as a tool open to the general public and applied to creating and improving government services, social movements and the construction of autonomous ecosystems.

Until now, design has mainly played a problem-solving role in order to create what society needs. But can't design be used to create small things that have meaning for an individual, even if they are not necessarily needed by society at the moment?

We are all born with much creativity. However, as we grow up, many of us put invisible shackles on it, thinking that it is a talent of a few. What can design do to help us break these shackles and reclaim our inherit ability?

Context design is an approach to design that focuses on "narratives" or "weak contexts" of individuals and their interpretations. It allows each individual who comes into contact with the design to create his or her own "story". In other words, it is a creative activity and a method of "weaving together" in which the writer intends for the reader's independent involvement and multiple interpretations to emerge. The result is a creative activity in which the writer intends for the reader to become a writer and the consumer to become an expressionist.

本講座は、建築文化の理解を通じ、物事を多面的かつ柔軟にとらえる視点・視座・視野を身に着け、社会で活躍する人材を育成することを目指している。

担当教員の、雑誌編集や地域振興に実業で取り組んだ実体験を織り交ぜながら行う講義、またファッション・建築といった分野の第一線で活躍するゲスト講師を招いての講義に特徴がある。このことにより単なる知識・教養を身に着けるにとどまらない、より実践的な考え方・方法論を学ぶことができる。履修者には、各事象を自分のこととしてとらえ積極的に授業に参加する姿勢が求められる。

本講座は、次の考えの元構成されている。

・「建築」（Architecture）とは、単なる建物（Building）を超えた次元で成立している。

・その「建築」は、芸術性はもちろんのこと、経済・政治・法律など様々な制約のうえに成り立っており、重要な文化の構成要素であると同時に、社会的な存在である。

・ゆえに「建築」は時代的・社会的な背景や先人の思想等を読み取ることができるメディア（媒体）である。各建築の存在意義を検証し、そこから未来の社会の姿・あり方を構想する。

以上の視点から、毎回テーマに添った講義を行い、建築を通じて社会・文化を学び、問題意識を養い、既存の価値基準に囚われない自由な感覚・発想力を養う。

Imagine you have an ant in your hand. The ant does not know you are moving forward, nor you can crush it anytime. The ant is us human beings living on the Earth's surface. This course provides an introduction to learning how the Earth's dynamics works from the point of view of solid earth science. You will briefly learn the history of the Earth and its creations, and the consequent change in the environment. You will also learn the mechanism of an earthquake, a tsunami, and a volcanic eruption. You will feel the difference between time and space scales from your everyday life. (You can learn about fluid earth science in the class "Earth System B" held by Dr. Y. Miyamoto.)

This subject is a descriptive one. Explains in photos, animation and drawings the basics of both mechanical and materials engineering. No mathematical complications will be included. This subject is beneficial to all students especially those who are studying issues not related to engineering but will work in future in an Engineering Firm be it a maker or sellers of machinery or materials. Even those who may not work in such an environment, this subject will be helpful for them in their daily life when dealing with machines and materials.

This subject is complementary to other existing courses that tackle issues related to design. Thus students across all three faculties and the graduate schools will find this course applicable to them. Since SFC aims to prepare students to engage all kind of issues related to the society, Ergonomics will be a good addition to the knowledge of the graduates.

Tabletop! Advanced Discussion using Role-Playing Games (Online)

This class will engage students in Role-Playing (i.e., Tabletop Role-playing games (RPGs)) to learn about and experience different kinds of advanced interactions in English. This class is designed to create a rich, task-based approach to language learning where students must use their reading, speaking, and listening skills to (a) negotiate and cooperate with their fellow players to complete specific tasks in story-based games, (b) explore the role of language and identity, and (c) critically evaluate strategies necessary for the completion of those tasks.


This class is designed for improving fluency/pragmatic skills, and requires a high degree of conversation, listening, and creativity.

This class will be held entirely online, though if conditions permit we may hold occasional classes on campus.

This course is designed for those who are in the lower intermediate level of Japanese or who have completed the Japanese Intensive Elementary 2.
Students will practice reading, writing, listening, and speaking while studying grammar, vocabulary, and kanji. They will also study to be able to use Japanese well by making presentations, writing essays, and reviewing grammar.

Japan is currently facing the problem of a shrinking society characterised by the low birthrate, the ageing, the declining population and the change of household structures. The new challenges arising from the climate change cannot be also overlooked. In this lecture, we will focus on Germany, which faces similar challenges to Japan. In contrast to the UK and France, where there was a concentration of urbanisation in London and Paris, the urbanisation has been progressed in Germany by maintaining a polycentric structure, and the cities are now developing an urban planning programme in collaboration with the federal and state governments in order to ensure the future development potential of the city. The aim of this lecture is to clarify the characteristics of German cities using this programme as a guide, and to gain implications for regional revitalisation in Japan.

Wie denken junge Deutsche? Was koennen wir ihnen ueber die japanische Gesellschaft mitteilen? Was moechten wir ueber Deutschland wissen?
In diesem Seminar sprechen wir ueber gesellschaftliche Trends in Japan und Deutschland, wie immer gemeinsam mit einer Partnergruppe an der Martin Luther-Universitaet in Halle. In "gemischten" Kleingruppen (SFC-Halle) werden per Video-Chat Themen zur Praesentation vorbereitet. Bei der Aufbereitung der Themen werden wir die Instrumente Medienanalyse, Umfragen und Interviews nutzen. Die Ergebnisse werden dann im Plenum besprochen und bei jeder Videokonferenz vorgestellt.
Arbeitssprachen sind Deutsch und Japanisch.
