| Course description |
|
This course aims to develop minds for knowledge creation and autonomous learning, and is designed as an introductory course for the Liberal Arts and Fundamental Studies. Students will experience different styles of lectures and classes depending on the contents. It consists of two parts. Part I : Common Introductory Program In this program that is common to all first-year students, students will learn about our university and think how they would pursue their academic life here. The university history and TUAT principals are described as well as our research activities, with the aim of encouraging students to engage in university study and to understanding the importance of designing their individual university life. Part II : Faculty-Specific Program(Let's introduce genes into plants) In order to improve the variety of crops, in addition to the conventional method of repeating crossing, there are methods using tissue culture and gene transfer technology. How is a genetically modified plant made using that technology, what kind of features are it, what are its advantages and disadvantages? The term genetically modified plants is almost always mentioned in recent biology textbooks. However, few textbooks detail how to actually create them. It is important to look in the literature and on the Internet, but it is better to experience it yourself. So let's actually introduce the gene into the plant. In this seminar, through presentations and discussions on a wide range of topics, such as crop breeding, the potential of plants, dream plants, and food production, through learning and experience related to genetic modification of plants. I will do it. |
