Syllabus
Course overview and goals
The purpose of this experiment is (1) acquiring measurement technologies, understanding the essence of physical and/or social phenomena involved, and the improvement of deep insight, thorough interviews, conduction of experiments, discussion, and making reports. The topics highlighted are (1) environmental physics, (2) environmental policies, (3) nuclear engineering and (4) fluid engineering. All topics are related to environment and energy problems in the framework of transdisciplinary engineering.

Study advice (preparation and review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend a certain length of time outside of class on preparation and review (including for assignments), as specified by the Tokyo Institute of Technology Rules on Undergraduate Learning (東京工業大学学修規程) and the Tokyo Institute of Technology Rules on Graduate Learning (東京工業大学大学院学修規程), for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
