[Content **Language**] In this course, we will explore various links between emotion and communication; the effects of communicating or withholding emotion; how communication is used to influence one's own and others' emotions; and how our own and other cultures communicate about emotion. Moreover, we will explore emotion related to artificial intelligence in virtual humans. The science of emotion is critical to our understanding of human behavior and emerging fields such as affective computing and human robot communication. This course introduces major approaches to emotion and addresses topics that may include perception, communication, individual differences, development, affective computing, and dynamics of facial and vocal expression. |

The primary objective is to learn to analyse emotional messages of all types, especially examples of face-to-face interaction, in terms of theories and issues related to communication and emotion.

| 授業の概要 ／Course outline |
Effective communication in business and engineering is essential. As part of this writing and design through group communication course, we will use communication skill games with Legos to improve communication within your team, and help you write design documents. Lego will help us learn something in a new way. We will learn about the use of Legos for engineering team-based communication, collaborative product development, planning and design, analysis and execution. For class assignments, we will design innovative products with Legos, write and speak about the design in English, and work towards group analysis and peer-review. |
| 授業の目的と到達目標 ／Objectives and attainment goals |
As a team, we will talk about what happened? What worked well? What didn’t work so well? What about the team communication? Could we use Lego elements to learn about another topic? Could we use a “toy” to learn about history, science, art or math? Could we design a futuristic product with Legos? We will design products, focus on developing feasibility reports on product design, prepare recommendations and constructive criticism (product reviews) for improvement, and make digital storytelling-based presentations about the designed product. We will look forward to achieving multiple goals during the semester. o Reflect on the use of Legos for team communication and collaborative design. o Analyse specific audiences and rhetorical, informational, demonstrative and other situations in the design of Lego products. o Apply the principles of information and product design to the creation of systems and task-oriented user experience and satisfaction. o Develop writing skills with focus on content organisation, formatting, layout, grammar, and purpose. o Develop oral skills through multiple oral presentations and peer-reviews. |
