Today in the 21st century, the convenience of automobile transportation to human society is enormous, and there can be no society without automobiles. On the other hand, the effects of traffic accidents and social losses, which have increased with the spread of automobiles, are unacceptable problems. In recent years, the interest in safety and security has been increasing worldwide, and the purpose is to deepen the understanding of the field in the wake of traffic safety. One of the features of this course is to acquire practical knowledge such as factory tours of seat belts and child seats, introduction of advanced research, and introduction of international cases. The theme is not limited to traffic safety, but I would like to introduce the corporate management of Takata Corporation, which has grown from a venture to a global company.
The twenty-first century is still the century competing globally for energy. One of our main missions would be to recreate much more clean and efficient new energy systems to sustain the future society, which could also show us a possible scenario for leading modern energy revolution on the earth.
We are now witnessing the emergence of high-performance battery in our society, whose paradigm shift of electricity reservation could bridge and make information and energy united together to finally establish highly-integrated information-energy networks. We could not imagine yet how far this dizzy paradigm shift could bring us, meanwhile, it would certainly impact our society irreversibly to create utterly new artifacts far beyond our current imagination to form pieces of “the future battery society” to come.
We sincerely wish we could envisage this new concepts and a taste of the future through this unique series of lectures.

The Student Built Campus (SBC) project began in Spring 2015 as part of Keio University’s new campus-planning project 'Mirai Sozo Juku (Institute for Designing the Future)' aiming to develop a new residential education and research environment created by the students, faculty members, administrative staff and alumni of SFC. The goal of SBC is to realize a future model of the university campus in a world where various resources, such as knowledge, technology, and people, are integrated. This new network will redefine notions of 'study' and 'education' in the 21st Century. This class adopts the "My Seminar" format, in which two or three alumni are invited as guests, and the students are divided into groups to work on group projects based on themes conceived by the alumni. Students are expected to understand what are SBC and Mirai Sozo Juku pursue, and acquire idea and method of learning and managing new education and projects which can be available by residential education and research happening at the SBC.

I wish I had encountered such a wonderful class sooner.
"The data analysis was so deep that I had a hard time following it. "Data analysis was deep and I had to work hard to keep up with it, but it was definitely the most passionate and interesting class of any SFC course.
"I suffered a lot, but the more I suffered, the more I could see and the more I enjoyed it.
It was the lecture that made me feel I had grown the most since I entered university.
"It fundamentally changed the way I think about data."
"This was the class I was looking forward to the most this semester, and I was very satisfied with the content, which far exceeded my expectations.
"It was one of the most interesting classes this semester. "It was one of the most interesting classes this semester. Both the lectures and the exercises were interesting and useful, and I enjoyed them.
"It was a really tiring class, but I can say with pride that it was the half year that I grew the most.
"This is definitely a course that all students should take as a required data science course in the spring of their freshman year, and I wish this course had been offered earlier.
I wish I had taken this course sooner..." "Thank you for all 14 sessions plus the supplementary lectures. The assignments were difficult, but it was great to hear interesting and White things each time. My attitude toward data has definitely changed.
"Before, I thought it was important to master how to use the tools, but through the class, I realized that it is more important to find out the essential things such as how to understand the problem. It was a very meaningful time and I enjoyed the lecture.
This was the most stimulating course in my three years of university life, and I was able to take it while thinking concretely about making analysis my career. Thank you very much.
"I am sad that this is the end of the class. I am sad that this is the end of the class, I want to take the advanced class. I'm sad that this is the end of the class.
"Although I sometimes slacked off, I feel that my self has become more patient and positive about the assignments throughout the six months. I have never been assigned such a difficult task before, but thanks to the enthusiastic classes given by Mr. Ataka and the other students, I was able to finish the fall semester without giving up, even though I would have given up in the past. Thank you very much.
I can't thank you enough for this class, which has given me a really valuable experience that I can't get at other universities. There are almost no other classes at SFC that have the same level of depth of content as this class, and I can say that this class was by far the most rewarding class I have ever taken. Thank you very much for the whole semester.
"Although I had some experience in data analysis, I was reminded of many things in each lecture.
"Thank you for the very intensive lectures! What is data-driven? What is data-driven and why is it necessary? I enjoyed learning analysis and problem solving in a practical manner, as both input and output were carried out, from the lectures that focused on the big picture, such as "What is data-driven? I will keep this way of thinking in mind and do my best to get ahead in my 20s.
Thank you for the fun classes. I thought we were just going to do data analysis, but it was very fruitful to hear about the theory that I didn't know before. I would like to make use of it in the future." "I was able to learn a deeper layer of knowledge that does not end with the use of tools.
As executives of non-profit and for-profit organizations think about the organization's medium- to long-term strategy, the department that develops the strategy, under the direction of the executives, collects and analyzes the information. For example, in the case of marketing(demand-side data) research, executives may order the marketing department to conduct street research to determine the preferences of the target audience, and the analysis works to uncover the cause-and-effect relationship. In the late 1990s, the explosive spread of information technology made it possible for individuals to use IT to search and collect information, and organizations could easily accumulate a wide variety of information about their customers as data, such as their purchase history. With further advances in information technology in the 2010s, we have been able to keep large amounts of data at a large scale. The infrastructure is being developed to analyze, extract new knowledge and create value. In recent years, these large amounts of data are referred to as big data. One of the optimal statistical analysis, correlation analysis, which investigates the relationship between two factors, has been used in some cases to make decisions. In addition, in May 2013, the government announced the “Creation of the World’s Most Advanced IT Nation” declaration as the new IT strategy of the second Abe cabinet regarding open data, which declares the public data held by the government will be provided to the people in a form that can be used for secondary purposes, and aims to realize the creation of new businesses and innovation through public-private cooperation by interconnecting it with data held by companies. Further use of these data is changing the social systems of markets, organizations, citizens and governments. In this course, in order to develop human resources that can respond to the above social systems, we aim to integrate IT, analytics, and design in order to nurture human resources that will lead to the development of data scientists who can conduct research on architects who handle big data and understand information strategies that include systems.
Whether you are starting a business or joining a company, it is essential to have a skin-deep understanding of data-driven analysis, problem solving, and data utilization in the future.
This course is designed for those who have a basic background in analytical thinking and data literacy (assuming that they have already digested the contents of Data Driven Basics), but do not have much experience in data analysis and data utilization. Through this course, we aim to help them acquire the basic data literacy and the ability to think with data in order to survive in modern society.
In this course, students will learn the basics of machine learning by adjusting their own data.
This is based on the content covered in the "Emergency of Data Driven Society and Strategy" (Hereinafter referred to as the "Basic Course" )(There is no excuse for not knowing the contents of the Basic Course. It is strongly recommended that students take Basic Course.)
This is not a course to train experts in information science and big data processing.
-Natural Language Processing
-Image Processing
-Machine Learning
-Data infrastructure construction
-Real-time processing, etc.
★Intended Audience
- Rather than information science geeks, people who really want to make a difference in the world through analysis and data utilization.
- People who want to understand how data and analytics are useful in this world and want to acquire the basic skills to do so.
- People who want to learn firsthand about the relationship between problem solving, decision making and analysis.
People who have tried various types of analysis in the past, but do not understand the points that create value.
★(Reference) Comments from past students (excerpt)
- Thank you very much. Thank you very much for the whole year. It was the best class.
- It was a great class. "Mr. Ataka's giver's attitude had a huge human impact on me, more than the content of the class. The deep insightful feedback on what we were thinking was the best thing that ever happened to me as a student. Thank you very much. Not only me, but I am sure many other students were ignited by the lecture.
- I learned how to live as a businessman from his various talks. I learned a lot about how to be a businessman from his various talks, and I feel I had a great time experiencing how to be a professional.
- I am convinced that the ICT industry will create wealth.
- Since I started the course last semester, it has definitely been the hardest course I have taken in my three years of college. The weekly assignments were really tough and often took me until midnight. However, looking back on it now, I think that the experience of struggling with my own hands became my flesh and blood, and I have learned a lot from it. I'm really sad to see it end, because the data-driven class has been indispensable to me for the past year.
- Thank you for the year! I would like to see this class made into a book or video! Please consider it.
- I will do my best in the future so that in 5 or 10 years, I will be glad that I drove all the way to SFC to give this lecture.
- In addition to teaching me how to prepare for and handle data, this course gave me the opportunity to think seriously about how I will live my life and what I will accomplish while I am still in my 20's. I am glad that I took this course.
- I've taken all kinds of classes at sfc over the past four years, but I think the data-driven class is one where you can learn as much as you can through trial and error and worry. It has changed the way I look at the world.
- If I hadn't joined sfc and taken this course, I would have never learned so many things. I would like to change the world in an interesting direction so that people will think that I was glad to have lectured at that time.
- I will continue to work hard on my studies and job hunting so that I can build a career in which I can be involved in the field of data handling. I had a really meaningful time here. It was very stimulating every time! I strongly recommend that younger students take this course as well.
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.
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 class is designed as an introduction to Japanese policies in sub-Saharan Africa, and how these policies relate to the Tokyo International Conference on African Development. TICAD has been the centerpiece of Japan's policy in Africa since its inception in 1992.As the Ministry of Foreign Affairs organized TICAD VII 2019, there are many issues to consider in order to realize the goals of increased trade,aid,connection between Japan and Africa under COVID19. Although the results of previous conferences had been constructive, there remains an "information gap" between the policies and intents of the Japanese government and business community, and the response and knowledge of the Japanese citizen as to the recent history, the varied cultures and issues in Africa today. By investigating both large-scale and small scale investment, tourism and educational, in particular agricultural connections and N.G.O. endeavors and the goals and effects of the Japanese policies themselves, the course will explore methods by which the goals of the government's policies in Africa can be made accessible to Japanese society as a whole.
*This course was supposed to be offered as the combination of full-online and SBC academic camp but considering the present situation of COVID19, we have to give up SBC stay. We will be flexible to change the program and if the situation improves we will come back to the program combining SBC academic camp and on-line. Thank you for your understanding.
The course will begin with a short series of introductory lectures on the history of Africa, and the Africa's part in the development of agricultural system along with visits from Japanese nationals who have recently returned from projects in Africa.There are many people from African countires to join training sessions on agricalture in Japan. Especially this semester under COVID19, we persue our susutainable global connection between African Countries and Japan focusing on the cultures, community building, agriculture. So in order to realize our goals everybody should know and experience gateways to Japanese agriculture in our neighborhood. Then you are ready to understand African countries in reality.The course will then focus on some countries: South Africa, Democratic Republic of Congo, and 2 or 3 other countries. Although all the lectures are offered on line, we reorganized class as combination of on-line lectures and Study Camp at SBC + Farm experience on the farm field in Endo Area around SFC campus.The aim of this course is to be interactive and experience-based(agriculture) even courses on Fridays are offered on-line. We will welcome guest speakers both from African countries and from Japan which means you will have many opportunities to meet diversity of people, have active group discussions, make some projects with your friends, realize the projects, have actual fieldwork on the farm, even on-line. As a goal of the course, you persue and make actual project plans for you, the next generation, to become friends and to be sustainable partners for the future.
The purpose of this course is to explore the possibilities of new artistic expression based on big data and artificial intelligence in a society where the Internet is a prerequisite.
Daito Manabe, one of Japan's leading media artists, will be invited as a special guest professor, and through a practical classroom format, we will develop and propose short video works or compositional techniques. The class is mainly a workshop format, focusing on the development of ideas and prototypes in group work, scriptwriting and video production through the application of digital technology.
Students give presentations at each stage of the class, and the professors including Daito Manabe, will review and give feedback. So far, we have focused on the digital technologies such as motion capture, electromyography, electroencephalogram, muscle electrical stimulation, and worked on visualization and signification of the data especially focusing on the machine learning programming.
The professors and invited guest speakers will give lectures on how new digital technologies can be disseminated to the world, as well as the possibility and importance of addressing social issues from the perspective of art.
Economy and labor market of Japan have a lot of problems such as lower productivity than other advanced countries, long working hours, and inadequate diversity in management level. In this context, the objectives of this course are to gain deep understandings on current situation of the Japanese society and challenges and future directions on labor policy, especially on Work Style Reform which the National Government of Japan is tackling.
