Japan's construction production system is expected to undergo major changes in the future, and students will gain a deeper
understanding of three key concepts that are likely to become even more important: "ordering method," "facility management,"
and "public-private partnerships" through case studies and discussions. This course is positioned as an internship-related
subject in that students will learn and think for themselves about the meaning of these concepts that they will likely encounter
in their future work. It is deeply related to internships, and aims to improve students' ability to adapt to construction
work after graduation.
