In starting the four-year study in the Department of Applied Chemistry, this class will give you notes on taking courses,
the history of Shibaura Institute of Technology, how to write scientific sentences, and an overview of the Department of Materials
Engineering, which constitutes the same department group as the Department of Applied Chemistry. You can also get information
on how to use the library, the infirmary, the student / faculty / staff health counseling room, and other facilities and support
systems that will be needed in future university life.
In this class, we will tackle "unanswered" issues given by senior members of society working in companies, conduct surveys, discuss within the group, summarize the results, and present them (project-based learning, PBL). Through this activity, we will strengthen the basic interpersonal skills and problem-finding / problem-solving abilities necessary for team activities, learn the meaning of "working", and set future goals. And you will finally clarify what you should study and learn at university to achieve that goal.
By the end of this class, we aim to create an image and a plan of university life for the next four years.
