Prerequisites (i.e., required knowledge, skills, courses, etc.)

This course is limited to the IGP(A)-PED students because of the limitation of the number of students we can accept for the site visit(s). We can accept some visiting students (confirmation in advance is needed), but no regular students who are not IGP(A)-PED students. If you're not an IGP(A)-PED student, but have joined Special Education Program for Environmental Designers (環境デザイン特別専門学修プログラム), you can take this course.
