Outline of lecture

Current huge and complicated social environments or issues are increasing the importance to consider things as 窶徭ystems窶� with a broader perspective. Simple summation of the best elements is not always the best one. This course aims to introduce basic concepts of an interdisciplinary framework to enable the realization of successful systems. In the latter part of the course, you will experience practical system design, prototyping, proposal writing, and its management in a team project.
