DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND INFORMATION SCIENCE
| Introduction and scope |
| |
The
worsening of the global environment, such as the climate change and the
pollution of water and the atmosphere, is one of the most important problems
that should be solved in this century. The purpose of the department is to
provide better understanding of the cultural and scientific aspects of current
environmental issues and a practical knowledge of collecting and analyzing
physical, chemical and biological data on the natural environment for
environmental assessment. Emphasis is put on studying the basic sciences, which
are the core subjects of environmental science, and fundamentals of information
science. |
Structure of the Course Curriculum
|
| |
The course subjects are categorized into three
fields: (1) fundamentals, (2) environmental science and (3) information
science. The course includes lectures, exercises, laboratory experiments and
field work. In the first year, students are able to take any fundamental
subjects from both the Departments of Human Culture and Environment and
Information Science. In the fourth year students are required to participate in
one of research projects planned by professors of the department and to write a
graduation thesis about the research work.
