This course involves the way to acquire meaningful data from the real world as a tool of problem finding and solving. The data source ranges from the space, e.g. environment monitoring, objects around us, which play critical role cyber physical systems, to human as the stakeholder of a problem. Different data sources require different ways to extract data from them, and the correct way must be used to acquire meaningful data. This course overviews social surveys using questionnaire technique, environment monitoring using state-of-art sensing technologies, and data analysis/presentation skills that are common to all the different projects.
This course aims at giving a wider view to the Japanese Prefectural/Local Government for graduate students. Succeeding two classes are paired, one is for giving a lecture, and other is for reading assignments. Since it is rare to find literatures on the Japanese prefectural/local government written in non-Japanese languages, I will use those written in Japanese. Students who take this course should be prepared to read around 30 pages of readings written in Japanese every other week. You can write a term paper either in English or Japanese. Also, you are expected to write a one-page essay on the reading assignments before 7PM, the prior day of the course, and send me by e-mail or through SOL.
Fieldwork is a way to learn about society and culture. Therefore, its practical meaning as a technique is essential. Still, it is also closely related to how to look at things to define problems for oneself and communication to interpret and express the results of research and analysis. In this lecture, students will learn the basic methods and attitudes of "fieldwork" through courses and practical assignments. Each student (or group) will set a theme and conduct fieldwork throughout the semester. Students are required to go outside the campus, walk around the city, take photos and videos, and first of all, see with their own eyes and feel with their bodies.
This class provides the knowledge and the methodology of the qualitative research, where you will understand the basic process of the social research through the actual small-scale qualitative survey. It is more important to understand how to see things happening in our society than to understand the technique.
The main objective of this course is to exercise development of web applications based on a framework Ruby on Rails where we use a script programming language Ruby which is becoming popular recently. First, we will learn the language specification and programming techniques of Ruby. Next, we will learn how to use Ruby on Rails, and then make our own practical applications.
This course will examine the Japanese governance system and policymaking process focusing on
①Duality of government and the ruling party
②Relationship between the Prime Minister's Office and the ministries
③Relationship between the politicians and bureaucrats
④Public function played by the private sector and local residents(New Public Commons)
We would like deepen discussions and each graduate student's research mobilizing various resources of the society including market,
government and the New Public Commons.
Learning programming by the C language that is used for constructing operating systems and other software. This course requires basic knowledge of a programming, but doesn't require any C language knowledge. You are required to install compiling and development environment of C language. For Mac OS, XCODE can be installed as part of OS. For Windows, free software package such as "cygwin" can be installed for this lecture.

This lecture introduces the functions of UNIX operating system. UNIX is common and basic operating system of Linux, MacOS and many servicer side operating systems. Understanding the UNIX operating system helps for current computer system. The functions of the operating system are File System, Device I/O, Process management, Memory management, Inter Process Communications, Signaling/Interrupt handling and Network functions (includes TCP/IP protocol stack).
In this lecture, understanding those operating system functions by writing system programs in language C.
This course will look at the economic features and business model evolution of information communication technology (ICT) industry. We will examine through various case studies the survival strategy of ICT operators facing ever-increasing market competition and in conjunction understand global market movements and government-business relationships.
In this class, professors in charge of management, organization, and neighboring fields give omnibus-style classes.
The main aim of each course is to explain each specialized field and tell the students what kind of stance approach they are taking to research that field.
This class is suitable for a wide range of reviews of management, organization and neighboring fields.
In this course, we will work on impression management, a core skill in graphic design. We will mobilize our physicality and senses to challenge communication design, mainly using letters as a motif.
The class format is "workshop + small lecture", aiming to acquire not "knowledge" but "wisdom". The workshop will focus on production and review of works. There will be a lot of work done outside of class. There will also be a review of each other's works by the students (we are considering how to respond to COVID-19). In this way, we will repeat the process of "thinking, creating, seeing, and noticing", and aim to develop the ability to objectively perceive information transmission and manipulate the impressions conveyed.
In addition, we welcome the use of "analog methods" in our work. (This often results in powerful expressions, discoveries, and effects.)
In this class, students will learn the theory and techniques of "observation," "sketching," and "drawing." These are the skills needed for design.
The design includes the actions of finding (observing) problems, devising (interpreting) solutions, and materializing (expressing). Hand-drawn sketches include these actions.
Today, sensing, modeling, and rendering technologies using digital devices have advanced and become widespread. But it is crucial to practice observing and expressing with the body in real space to master digital technology.
This lesson is an introductory lesson for beginners who want to move into some design area, and it is intended for those who have no experience in sketching or drawing. Students will learn the process and theory of observing a landscape, thinking about its form, structure, meaning, and expressing it in pictures and figures.
This class is also related to the course offered in the fall semester with the same title. Both have the same aim of observation and expression, but the faculty member in charge is different, and the viewpoints of theory and the tools are different. Taking both courses together is recommended.
The goal of this class is to teach the basics of electronic construction to beginners using Arduino microcontroller board/development environment, and to acquire the skills to give shape to their ideas.
With the spread of machine tools and programming tools for personal fabrication, it has become possible for individuals to develop products similar to those of manufacturers.
In addition, hardware prototyping plays an important role not only in product development but also in the progress of various projects in the areas of design and expression.
Through the actual creation of a work of art, students will have the experience of designing their own circuits from an idea and creating a working prototype. The aim is not to explain the basic theory of analog/digital circuits, but to learn the basic skills of manufacturing using electronic circuits.
This class is an environmental design practice studio that integrates architecture, urban design, and landscape architecture.
Architecture is necessary for people to live. Architecture is an artificial work, but human life is deeply related to nature in many ways. Human beings are a part of nature, and getting close to nature is a basic human desire. On the other hand, nature sometimes shows a life-threatening appearance. The fundamental role of architecture is to protect human life from the harsh aspects of nature, and at the same time, enjoy the blessings of nature and enjoy it from the bottom of our hearts.
Students will draw a new landscape image of the subject region by presenting a design for a given theme or the found problem after analyzing the region's situation with open data and information technology. Students are expected to understand the environmental strategy that builds the relationship between nature and human beings and acquire skills.
This studio is intended for students who are in the beginning stages of architectural design.
Students will analyze masterpieces of modern architecture and design a house on a real site using the analysis method.
We have so many programming languages in the world. In this course, we investigate common concepts behind various programming languages. Our main goal is to gain the fundamental knowledge of computer science such as formal grammar, data types, programming paradigms, etc. through the concepts found in programming languages. Note that we focus on theoretical understanding, not practical skills of programming.
The Web is an indispensable foundation for providing information on the Internet. In this course, we will introduce Web technologies: Web page description languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, Web server inclusing handling form interaction, foundation technologies such as XML and RDF.
