Course description and aims
In this course, students will learn about Japanese experiences and situation of energy and environment, specifically Japanese energy policy and waste management. Lectures will be provided by faculties within and outside of our university, regarding to technological and socio-economic aspects. The goal of this course is to learn about Japanese efforts on management in energy and environment and to make presentation compared with students' home countries, through the classes and one time facility visit in power sector and in local government.
Student learning outcomes
The students can
- understand the Japanese efforts on energy and environmental management
- make a proposal to policy makers in their home countries by comparing with the Japanese efforts.
Keywords
廃棄物、エネルギーと環境技術、社会経済・政策
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
In the first four classes, we will focus on waste management and Japanese energy strategy, both technology and policy, then go to site visit to understand actual activities by both a private company in power sector and a local government in waste treatment. Finally students make presentations on the policy suggestions to their own countries, comparing with the Japanese efforts.
