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 “System Thinking” to pursue comprehensive and systematic solutions, “System Methods” to design functions to achieve goals, and “System Management” to integrate empathy, people, knowledge and techniques. These methodologies are learned by lectures and exercises of each items.

Purpose of class

To acquire systems thinking and systems methods to pursue synthetic solutions, and systems management to empathize with people.

Goals and objectives

Can understand way of using systems engineering beyond the borders of the areas of specializations
Can learn systematic process for problem finding, understanding and solving
Can get empathy people for manage project to problem solving
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, System Management for engineer, 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%.

Feedback on exams, assignments, etc.

ways of feedback	specific contents about "Other"
Feedback in outside of the class (ScombZ, mail, etc.)
