Course schedule
How fantastic if I could trigger an innovation! Everybody may think so. Sorry to say that an innovation is not easy. What are needed for an innovation? Then you might think you would like to concrete a base of your idea, and accelerate and spread its movement to be an innovation. Now there are standards as one of the tools to do those.
Every innovation has a purpose providing some sort of intended value. In order to embody the purpose, you should firstly decide a goal to achieve and people to contribute, and secondly figure out the value providing process to achieve the goal. At last you make sure what standards are needed in the process. You research adaptable standards within published standards, but you could not find those standards. So you will study how to use those standards that might contribute to be an innovation what you intend. However, you cannot do series of these works without background knowledge of standards, and have difficulty to consider alone what you should do. Therefore it is also important to refer to or incorporate opinions of others.
With this in mind, using topics and recent cases as much as possible, lectures would be carried out with introducing standards related to the research themes of students. Lectures set some brief discussion appropriately, so that for each theme of their own / others, you confirm goals and objectives, and could dug out and grasp some required standard, an important standard, a standard that are missing. Through these experiences, you can learn positive attitude to accept advice from others or to provide to others.
