| Course description |
|
This lecture contains a class by a teacher with experiences of work abroad in an institute. A process of establishment of international environmental monitoring programs and mathematical science dealing with environmental modelling will be lectured. A teacher who has practical experience outside academia teaches this class. Dr Takada and Dr Tarao worked at Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) as a part-time specialist and a member of investigation teams. A part of his course is based on his experience at JICA. |
| Expected Learning |
|
Students are expected to, 1. acquire mathematical sense indispensable to understand and solve environmental problems, Corresponding criteria in the Diploma Policy. See the Curriculum maps. https://www.tuat.ac.jp/campuslife_career/campuslife/policy/ |
| Course schedule |
|
TAKADA - Environmental problems associated with single-use plastic. - Marine plastic pollution - Sustainable management of plastic wastes TARAO Students must work on textbook exercises prior to the class. Answeres are checked, and discussions are done during the class. Namely, without preparation for the class, you cannot keep up with the class. |
| Prerequisites |
|
TARAO - Prior to each class, participants read some sections of the textbook which are assigned and work on exercises of each section. - Students must join the discussion. - University beginner level mathematics (differential equations and linear algebra.) is indispensable. |
| Required Text(s) and Materials |
| TARAO: John Harte "Consider a Spherical Cow -A Course in Environmental Problem Solving", University Science Books, 1988 |
| References |
| Prepare based on the necessity. |
| Assessment/Grading |
|
Reports and exercises evaluate grading. Takada: Reports, 50% Tarao: Exercises, 50% |
| Message from instructor(s) |
| - The questioning mind is indispensable. Students must not follow uncritically what teachers and textbooks say, but critical thinking and attitude are required. |
