At the end of this course, students will be able to:
(1) Recognize the social problems, idendifying tasks to be solved proactively.
(2) Understand the developing state-of-the-art science and technology, and get the skill sets for applying the science and technology knowledge to solve the social problems.
(3) Propose ideas for applying the state-of-the-art science and technology to create innovation.
