Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review Since this class is conducted in an omnibus style, it is not necessary to prepare for each lecture. But daily attention to people, society, nature and engineering relationships.

Requirements In principle, English is used in this course. However, in some cases, English and Japanese will be used together when necessary, so as not to disadvantage international students who do not understand Japanese.

Grading Method Evaluation will be based on reports and/or small tests conducted by each lecturer.
