＜概要/Course Content Summary＞
Infrastructures are the foundation of any kind of human activities by providing protections to human and social resources from disasters and providing means to distribute goods, materials, energy, people, information, etc., such as any kind of resources used in the human society. Thus, knowing how these infrastructures are designed provides a very important viewpoint to make further study on resource management for non-engineering students.
The aim of this course is to construct the foundation for non-engineering students to make further study on resource management with some of the way of thinking of engineers. As a basic level course, this course puts more emphasis on to understand the logics and basic methodologies required for planning and designing of infrastructures, rather than obtaining individual knowledge. The weapons engineers are using for this purpose are mathematics, physics, and statistics. Therefore, basics of these subjects will be also taught in the class. Also, this course puts more value on actually solving problems, rather than just memorizing formulae, for students to obtain some of the way of thinking of engineers. As a course for non-engineering students, subjects taught and problems provided in the class will be very basic ones. However, students will find that some of actual problems can be solved, up to certain level, only with those simple weapons. There are so many types of infrastructural works in the world, but due to the limitation of instructor's knowledge and experience, this course will concentrate on energy supply, water supply, and disaster prevention works.
＜到達目標/Goals,Aims＞
This course will provide very basic knowledge to understand the engineering procedure when engineers design some of infrastructural works. The goal of this course is, therefore, to make students to find some of the engineers' way of thinking through actually solving problems, rather than to make them to become able to deliver the right answer in individual calculations.
