1.
Outline
Outline;
Understanding the environment surrounding human beings is deepened by study of the history of environmental problems, nature of the Earth, air pollution and acid rain, water pollution and pollutants, global warming, chemical materials related to the environment, resources (energy, water, and food) related to the environment and environmental management. Secondly, students will announce their opinions through presentations for their own subjects, listen opinions and comments of others and discuss the subject with all. Their abilities of presentation and discussion should improve by these attempts. Also, another purpose of this course is to learn countermeasures for local and global environmental problems. Students perform a group work and the class will open in the outdoor when the weather is fine. Students will acquire the knowledge, skill and behavior for DP1 to DP6.

Objectives
Objectives;
The local and global environments are vital to the survival of human beings. The efforts to control the Global Warming and to preserve the human living environment have been carried out in all research fields in the world in this 21st century of "Century of Environment".
The objectives of this course are to motivate the mind to think about local and global environment by studying about the environment in general, and to acquire the knowledge for addressing various environmental technologies by learning in detail about countermeasure for global warming and about the relationship between environment and energy.
Furthermore, the abilities for talking and listening are nurtured in presentations, discussions and group work.

Grading Policy
Your final grade will be calculated according to the following process : Evaluation of Presentation and Discussion(30%) and The Term-end examination(70%). And students are required to attend classes over 2/3 of total classes in this course, in order to take part in the term-end examination.
