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 "What can you see from satellite images?" It has been 50 years since the development of satellite remote sensing technology for observing the earth from space. After understanding the basic principles of satellite remote sensing, while looking back on the history of earth observation technology, we discuss what we can understand on the images of the earth's surface observed by various sensors for various problems that occur in the region and on a global scale. |
