Course description and aims
The old concept of "monozukuri" is changing drastically with the fusion of digital technologies such as DX and ICT. What should "manufacturing" be in the future super-smart society, and what issues should be solved? In this course, we will invite expert engineers from several manufacturing companies as lecturers, and provide lectures on issues in each manufacturing field related to digital technology and AI applications. Furthermore, we will give lectures on actual examples of approaches and implementations in each company.
Student learning outcomes
Develop the ability to think in their own way about what manufacturing should be in a super-smart society, and to draw a roadmap to get there with their own original ideas, making the most of their own specialized fields. Furthermore, students will be able to propose solutions to social issues by using such kind of manufacturing technology.
