Course content

The problems the modern society face go beyond the borders of the areas of specializations. To solve the problems, this class focuses methodologies of systems engineering based around "systematic thinking" to pursue comprehensive and systematic solutions, "systematic methods" to design functions to achieve goals, and "systematic management"to integrate people, knowledge and techniques. These methodologies are learned by lectures and exercises of each items.

Purpose of class

To acquire systematic thinking, systematic methods, and systematic management to solve real-world problem through a project team

Goals and objectives

Can understand way of using systems engineering on own specialized research area.
Can learn systematic process for problem finding, understanding and solving
Can plan and manage project for problem solving or system development
Can design, model and explore problem solutions systematically

Language

Japanese(English accepted)

Evaluation method and criteria

Depending the evaluation of exercise 4 reports (System Thinking, System Management, Drawing patent items, System Methods) and special lecture report. If the report consisted of exercise subject’s content, systematic approach, and consideration, moreover the reason is described through understanding lecture explanation, Those reports will be evaluated as 60%.
