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 : Exploring Tokyo's uneven terrain: Understanding the region and environment from maps of the past and present Description: The places where we live are made up of a variety of topographical features. For example, in the past, topography was an important factor in building castles. For example, topography was an important factor in the construction of castles in the past, and there is a close relationship between topography and the availability of water and rivers, as well as regional development. Valley topography is also important as a habitat for rare species. In the modern era, the development of residential areas has led to major changes in the topography, such as the filling in of valleys. Students will learn about the history and development of the region, as well as water resources and ecosystem management, by exploring the uneven terrain around them and analyzing the unevenness using GIS. |
