Technology of Environment & Energy

MORI, Kazutoshi
  Elective  2 credits
【Master's program・1st semester】

1.
Outline
In this course, students will learn that the natural purification capacity of the Earth which was thought as infinite has been lost by the human rich life and the expansion of our economic activity to understand the current status of the environment for human to survive. And the finite reserves of fossil fuel, which has contributed to the development of civilization and which plays a big role in influencing the Global Environment, are understood by learning the energy which has supported our life and economic activity.
Next, we take a detailed look at renewable energy, namely solar, wind and so on which can contribute to the human's living environment and to the creation of advanced and intellectual future civilization. We shall also discuss the characteristics of atomic energy. We, moreover, see the convenience of automobile which is the product of modern civilization.
Finally, we think about social and technical measures for realization of the future low carbon society.
To improve their presentation skills, each student will give a presentation about a environment-related subject which is selected by the students, and group discussions for the presentation will be held with participants in this course.
Students can acquire the knowledge, skill and behavior for DP1 to DP6 by this lecture.
2.
Objectives
This course deals with Destruction of Local and Global Environments at the hand of human beings and the crisis of survival of the human race. We will also talk about problems of modern civilization created by mankind. Countermeasure through engineering will be explored as a way for the human race to survive.
Objectives of this course are to understand and learn about renewable energy (new energy) as a way of improving our environmental footprint, especially about the resources and energy contributing to human activities.
Additional objectives of this lecture are to acquire knowledge regarding management of environmental technology and to plan and create the image of the future society system with automobile for realizing the low carbon society.

3.
Grading Policy
Evaluation will be carried out by sum total of the result(40%) of a exercise & report and the result(60%) of presentation and discussion in the lecture.
Students will get the feedback of the evaluation for their report on this lecture by comments and explanation.

Textbook and Reference
Text:『Base of new energy for low environmental burden』 Terushige Fujii et al; Morikita Publishing Co.,Ltd.
Reference:『Science of Environment』 Katsuzo Yamaguchi et al; BAIFUKAN Co.,Ltd.
5.
Requirements (Assignments)
The need for being aware of environment and energy and to have a general knowledge of them is great.
Students must prepare for these lectures at home about 3 hours and pay attention to the phenomena and information related to environment and resources in the world.
Nurture students' own idea and behavior through the preparation of presentation and discussion.
6.
Note
Not only to improve understanding and proposal potential, but also communication and presentation skills will be acquired through this lecture.
