Practice on Design Project 7

YAMAMOTO Sota
Course description
Use data to understand the structure of society and clarify issues. Students will be able to consider how the identified problems can be solved using engineering technology and formulate a project. We will conduct trials and simulations for implementation, discover issues in project implementation, and implement countermeasures.
Each quarter will cover a different topic.
1Q: Accidents and Disasters (Special lecture: Dr. Yasuhiro Matsui, National Traffic Safety and Environment Laboratory. Also scheduled to visit “Human and Automobile Technology Exhibition” (May))
2Q: Healthcare/Medical (Special lecture: Professor Misato Nihei, the University of Tokyo. Also scheduled to visit “Healthcare/Medical Device Development” (June))
3Q: Logistics, people flow, transportation (Special lecture by Professor Gen Fukuda of Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology. Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology's "Shioji Maru" boarding training is scheduled to be held all day on October 31st (during the Shibaura-sai festival))
Purpose of class
To get an understanding of the structure of society and be able to discover issues that will lead to project planning.
Goals and objectives
  1. To be able to consider, devise, and carry out the research necessary to propose solutions to social problems through engineering technology.
  2. To be able to propose and present an appropriate engineering technology development project based on various research results.
  3. To be able to appropriately evaluate the proposed project from an engineering perspective.
