Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

This lecture is an omnibus format by six faculty teachers and introduces the latest research topics in Materials and Chemical Engineering as an example.

Course schedule/Required learning

  Course schedule Required learning
Class 1 Hydrogen society and systematic material design for energy applications Learn a new energy society and how to design and develop matrials for energy applications such as fuel cells and water electrolysis.
Class 2 Synthesis of bifunctional molecules in vivo Consider the advantage of synthesizing functional molecules in vivo. What do we have to think in our mind in making molecules in vivo, in comparison with that in flask?
Class 3 Relationships between structures and properties of polymer materials Understand the relationships between structures and physical properties of widely used polymer materials (plastics).
Class 4 Fuel cells and their constituent materials Learn the structure of automotive fuel cells and their constituent materials, and understand the importance of material research.
Class 5 Organic electronics and organic materials Learn fundamental characteristics and applications of organic electronics.
Class 6 Development of inorganic materials using supercomputers Understand current development of inorganic materials using state-of-the-art supercomputers, alongside "materials informatics", which is a new paradigm of materials science that deploys theoretical calculation and artificial intelligence technology.
Class 7 The end of term examination
