Course description and aims
This course focuses on planning and designing urban/transportation infrastructure. It covers the fundamental skills of presentation explaining significance and reasonableness of the projects, design of infrastructures, and logical evaluation of the projects considering various stakeholders and elements.
This course consists of lectures and group work. In group work, each group deals with a topic about 1. urban expressway, 2. railway network, 3. transportation hub, 4. airports, 5. disaster management, and 6. tourist city. Each group creates planning alternatives, conducts evaluation of alternatives, and finally designs urban/transportation infrastructure. Students report their achievements by mid-term/final presentations, reports, and deliverables.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Have an understanding of fundamental skills of project management.
2) Produce a report of the projects which includes logical explanation and evaluation based on findings.
3) Have skills of identifying issues of a project and proposing alternatives.
4) Have an understanding of logical evaluation of the projects considering various stakeholders and elements.
5) Acquire the oral competence necessary to make presentations in Japanese, articulate views/ideas/findings, etc., and debate effectively.
