Advanced Science and Innovative Engineering1
The purpose of the course is to develop human resources that can utilize latest scientific findings in developing new technologies
and engineers that have ability to bridge various scientific fields and work in different cultural environments.
This course aims at introducing students to the current scientific and engineering developments in the fields of new materials for energy, environment, and health. Teachers in this course will promote cross-countries mutual understanding by engaging students into group discussions on technological challenges with students of different nationalities.
In AY2026, this course will be provided by four professors. Professors Yamamoto (Classes 1,2,3,4), Miryala (Classes 5,6,7), Mele (Classes 8,9,10), and Rzeznicka (Classes 11,12,13,14).
Note that Classes 1, 2, 3, and 4 will be held at Ohmiya Room 2205 on 14 and 21 April. The students should attend on-site because there are no online classes. Others will be held online. The zoom links will be provided before the classes.
