Course description and aims
This course forms the three step program of the urban earthquake engineering with Advanced Technical Communication Skills and International Collaboration. This is the last step of this program.
In September of every year, students will go to National Central University (NCU) in Taiwan. Under the supervision of faculty members of NCU and Tokyo Tech, students are divided into groups of several members and do the field work on the urban disaster prevention against earthquake and fire. Then, each group is required to write a report and give a presentation. In the second week, each student of Tokyo Tech is required to give the presentation in the joint symposium between NCU and Tokyo Tech. Each student of Tokyo Tech is also required to submit the paper to NCU in advance.
After the symposium, all of participants from Tokyo Tech will join the site visit in Taiwan to improve the knowledge related to the disaster prevention and the infrastructures development. The period of the internship is around two weeks. Students can improve the practical expertise on the disaster prevention and the ability of international communication and cooperativeness through this international internship.
Student learning outcomes
By this course, each student can enhance the followings:
(1) the knowledge on the earthquake and disaster prevention through the field work.
(2) the ability of international communication and cooperativeness through the collaboration with NCU students.
(3) the ability of international communication through the presentation and discussion in English.
(4) the practical expertise on the disaster prevention through the site visit on the earthquake disasters and the infrastructures development.
