Design is undergoing a revolution. Technology is empowering more people to create and disseminate designs, and professionals and enthusiasts are using it to share their work with the world. Open design is changing everything from furniture to how designers make a living.
"Open design" was defined as design whose makers allowed its free distribution and documentation and permitted modifications and derivations of it. More than a decade later, open design with Digital Fabrication (3D Printing, Laser cutting, so on) is developing actively and constitutes an influential trend in the world of design.
I'll give you a lecture series of how open design has been working in the circumstances of COVID-19. And I'll give you a basic exercise of 3D-Modelling (Tinkercad, fusion360, OpenScad, blender) to create 3D-printed face-shield/face-mask.
Sociology of Deviance.
Each society defines right behaviours and some others to prohibit.
These prohibited behaviours are judged by the community as "deviant".
But this "deviant conducts" are depending on society and period of time.
So how we can define "deviance"? How we can define "normality"?
This course will answer to these questions.
In this course, we are is to look at various issues in Korean society surrounding words such as "equality", "social justice". Starting with various analysis of the actual reality of Korean society, we will take a quick look at how we can explain it academically. In particular, using Korean society as an concrete example, we will have an opportunity to think about what position we can take on various kinds of inequality.
In this content course we will deal with media in their cultural context, e.g. films, newspapers, music, literature, etc.
We will both think about how the media are connected to their cultural environment and try to recognize differences between media in Japan and Germany in relation to the national culture.
When designing the content of the course, the various interests of the course participants can be taken into account. At the end of the semester, all course participants should give presentations on a topic of their choice that is related to the course topic “Media”.
Since there is no final examination, regular attendance and active participation in the course as well as a convincing presentation are the basis for the final grading.
Basic skills in using the German language are required to take part in this course. Course participants should therefore at least have successfully completed the G3 course.
NOTE: Part of the course is held online together with Japanese Studies students at the University of Trier.

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.
This seminar is for students with solid German language abilities (B1-intermediate level or after completing SFC-G5). We will focus on current social developments in German-speaking countries while drawing comparisons with in Japan. Topics will be specified in cooperation with participants.
In this class, we aim to acquire the concept of open design through the development of interactive systems.
Even in the field of interaction design, it is very important to share the way of making, to create through collaboration, and to actively provide feedback in order to encourage more designers and engineers to participate. With this background, this class will develop lectures and workshops in cooperation with WebDINO Japan, which leads the dissemination and exploitation of open source system concepts.
Specifically, this year we will deepen our learning about interaction design and open design by putting in practice the development of embedded hardware with the theme of the future of IoT (Internet of Things) as the theme.
Sketchpad, developed by Ivan Sutherland in 1963, is a pioneer of CG/CAD systems that revolutionized the way computers interact with humans. With the technological development of computers, CG/CAD has become not only a medium for visualizing physical simulations of light, rigid bodies, and fluids in the real world, but has also invented unique expressions in games, art, and movies in the virtual world. This lecture will focus on the mathematical understanding of 2D/3D CG/CAD and its practical application with general-purpose algorithms, taking into account such advanced applications.
An overview of human computer interaction and problems of current interest. Topics include: history of HCI, human factors, designing HCI experiments. As a practice in this class, it is required to develop your own prototype of PUI(perceptual UI) / TUI(tangible UI) system, and demonstrate it for a user experiment at the finale.
This course consists of lectures, guest speaker lectures, and group work.

In the lecture by the guest speaker, we invite venture entrepreneurs and practitioners who are closely related to Keio University to learn the actual situation of entrepreneurship. In group work, team building is carried out, problems are discovered, problem solving goals are set, and business plans for solving problems are created and give a presentation.
This course is a donation course by Sojitz Corporation and Keio Innovation Initiative Inc. The sponsor and Mentor Mita-kai (Entrepreneur Support Alumni Association) will support this course and give the advice to students.
In particular, it is subject to get the teacher's license of junior high school social studies.
Therefore, it will "Teacher Training Registration" already finished person to, or after the next fiscal year to those who are planning the "teacher-training course registration" with the main target. However, even if you do not wish a particular teaching profession at the moment, if you would like to discuss the Japanese history from the pedagogical point of view, it does not have this limitation.
Instead of an overview of the whole era (primitive-modern) of Japanese history, it will be handled mainly centered on modern history. Especially through the reading of such letters and autobiography of Yukichi Fukuzawa, it is scheduled to try the discussion of the late 19th century Japan. Through them, we hope to be a chance to think about the history studies and history education.
Classes will centered on the lecture format, but also make appropriate tasks such as reading comprehension of the original historical materials. There are also several times report. For more information we'll explain at the time of the first round of classes.
This class addresses the design and creation of multimedia knowledge bases (image, video, music and text knowledge-bases), data mining and semantic associative processing. The most important objective of this lecture is to develop knowledge and skills for designing and creating multimedia knowledge-bases and multimedia systems with experimental practice. It is essential to study how to analyze, store, retrieve and integrate media data (image, video, music and text) in a knowledge-base system environment. An actual knowledge-base system is used to create experimental multimedia knowledge-bases and applied it to WWW system environments. We also design a meta-level multimedia system with data mining processes for new-multimedia creation.
This lecture offers students to learn the basic concept and the latest development of Geographic Information Systems, Remote Sensing and Global Navigation Systems for the Digital Earth Initiatives.
This is a practical course focused on digital design that is grounded in the particular culture of SFC. With the ongoing progress in digital communication media in architecture and urbanism, programmable 3D data has become a comprehensive tool for sharing ideas. Consequently it has a strong impact on the design, construction and utilization of the ideas. It is used in many ways, including the visualization of complex topology and geometry, the simulation of environmental factors, the materialization of unique shapes and tectonics through digital fabrication, navigation of the vast design space that comes from algorithmic design methodology, adaptation to dynamic environments, and the interaction with human behavior through digital sensing technology.The objective of this studio is firstly to realize the practical potential of computational design methods using these technologies. Secondly it is to build a concrete skill set through a hands-on working method.
In this class, students are expected to study about basic statistics by analyzing data empirically. Basic techniques such as data collection, statistical analysis and presentation are introduced.
Lectures include (1) description of data such as average, variance and correlation, (2) basics of probability theories such as population and samples, stochastic distributions and sample distributions, and (3) statistical models such as regression analysis and analysis of variance.
Lecturers might change contents of syllabus.
Theories of international relations are discussed.
"I want to write books, that I would like to read myself." Wolfgang Herrndorf (1965-2013) published his novel "Tschick" in 2010. The novel received numerous rewards and quickly became a bestseller, also internationally. It tells the story of Maik, a 14-year-old high school boy and his now school mate Andrej who embark on an adventurous trip together. The humorous text is full of unexpected surprises. It is a mixture between adolescence novel, road novel and hero story and addresses contemporary issues like multiculturalism, exclusion/inclusion or mobbing, and shows what growing up, friendship or love means for young people of today. In this seminar, we will read extracts of the novel and explain the social context. We will also watch parts of the film version, and learn about the author Wolfgang Herrndorf.
Purpose of Course:

The course will also involve seminars to be supervised by guest professors.
In light of the advent of DNA sequencing technologies, genomic analysis of microbes is “democratized” to the level where “anyone” can sequence “anywhere”. Portable nanopore sequencing device that enables extreme long reads without the need for large initial investment especially contributed to this accessibility. Therefore, it is now economically feasible to sequence the entire genome instead of a single amplified gene to answer certain questions. In this workshop, we train students to go through the entire process of 1. Long DNA extraction and purification, 2. Nanopore sequencing, 3. Bioinformatics of genome assembly and annotation, and 4. Writing Genome Report paper for submission to international archives.
For more than half a century now, a genome has been a blueprint for the mystery of life. The genome has been treated as one of the primary information in molecular biology. Several technological innovations have drastically reduced the amount of effort spent on determining the genome sequences. Then, "how to use it" has become more important than observing a string of letters. At the same time, however, people have been faced with the difficulty of truly understanding the information written in the genome sequence. The genome is a blueprint, describing all the information that governs the phenomena of life. However, a great deal of further experimentation and verification is required to understand the life systems generated by the interaction of genomic elements. A separate understanding of genome information cannot help us to know the interlocking biological phenomena. This course is designed to provide a systematic introduction to the origins of genomics, the principles of genome designing biology, designable parameters, and usage of the genome. Furthermore, we will discuss and consider the issues that need to addressed to realize the genome designing biology.
Recent drastic technological innovation in measurement and analysis of biological system is leading life science to big data science at molecular level. While a lot of questions have been solved and abundance of practical applications have been developed, some classic and fundamental questions are left behind, for example why ATP, what is the initial energy source of biological system, how mitochondria has evolved,etc. We will focus on some biological singularities and seek to understand the path to them.
The rapid economic development of postwar Korea, called “compressed modernity,” was realized in the state-led development economic system from the 1960s. South Korea, a typical developing country, has undergone a dynamic transformation after the development era of the 1960s and 1970s, the June 1987 Declaration of Democracy, the 1997 IMF Economic Crisis, and the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. However, the government-led economic system, which was effective during that period, has lost its expiration date. The opening of the domestic market and the transition to a high-wage nation have fundamentally changed the basic framework of the Korean economy, and the impact of globalization is accelerating such movements.
Global companies from South Korea, such as Samsung Electronics, Hyundai Motor, and POSCO, are active on the world stage, while they are fiercely competing with companies in developed and developing countries.
Then, what kind of transformation has Korean society undergone during that time? It is a historical fact that South Korea has become a very prosperous country, driven by the rapid growth of the chaebol, and the economic level has risen significantly overall. It can also be considered that it has achieved the rank of developed countries. However, domestic economic disparities are widening, and there is considerable friction and conflict between groups that can feel affluence and those who do not, forming a background for political conflict.
In this lecture, we will examine how Korean society, led by chaebols, is changing amid historical environmental changes.
