Course description

For working towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the UN in 2015, it is essential to pursue interdisciplinary research and collaboration between agricultural sciences and engineering. In this lecture course, students gain knowledge on research contributing to achieving SDGs and engage in group work with fellow students from different disciplines to propose a way in which how they would integrate their expertise and approach the problems for SDGs. This course aims to encourage students to recognize the significance of interdisciplinary research, the diversity of research development, and generation of novel findings. Additionally, students are encouraged to think what sort of skills are required in tackling such problems and conducting interdisciplinary research, and find motivation for their studies and research activities in the third and fourth years. This lecture course is included in Global Integrated Studies of the Liberal Arts and Fundamental Studies, and offers students opportunities to apply and integrate their knowledge and skills obtained in the foundation courses during their first two years in the university.

Expected Learning

1. Students are expected to learn the importance of interdisciplinary research and to be able to describe specifically what techniques and knowledge from different disciplines are integrated. 2. Through the activity to make a research proposal with students from different faculties, students are expected to become able to explain specific contributions from different disciplines and the novel effect produced by the integration. Competency development: Leadership and coordination, Innovative thinking, Communication, Mission-oriented research and problem solving
