Course description
Objective
"Standard" is everywhere in everyday life. For example, the size of the core of the toilet paper, the shape of the USB connector, the keyboard layout of the personal computer, etc. In addition, many standards are applied, from materials and equipment used in research to equipment used in factories. Standards provide us with convenience in many ways. Good use of these standards not only enables you to perform a variety of tasks efficiently, but also to achieve high performance. The purpose of this lecture is to understand the role of standards and to learn how to use them.
Outline of lecture
In this course, students will understand the importance and necessity of standards and learn how to use them through thought experiments in which they commercialize the results of their research themes while referring to the lecture content. Specifically, the items listed in the following Expected Learning are considered step by step in thought experiments. The results of these considerations are accumulated and finally completed as a report. At each step of this course, students give a three-minute presentation on their thinking for thought experiments and exchange opinions with other students.

Expected Learning
Each student should be able to understand the necessity and importance of the following, understand the existence of related standards, and consider necessary and important standards in order to finish the products and services assumed in the thought experiment to the user's request and to enable the user to use them safely.
1. Awareness of the value delivered and of the object delivering that value
2. Consideration of the existence and response of various risks
3. Understanding the processes involved and identifying areas of value and risk
In addition, to be able to understand the necessity and effectiveness of reflecting and utilizing the awareness and learning from the opinions of others in one's own consideration.
