An enterprise web application hosted on the 3-tier web architecture is also integrated with other servers, such as a standard authentication system, load-balancer, and high-availability feature.

Unlike a typical one-box UNIX/Linux system, an enterprise application hosting environment needs some different skills and techniques to design and implement that.

This SCCP will focus on building and managing a comprehensive web infrastructure, with experience in building and utilizing load-balancing, high availability features, and system orchestration.

In FY2024, we will continue to focus on kubernetes, aiming to acquire knowledge related to the functions used to develop and operate large-scale web applications.

In this project, participants will experience data visualization processing based on images and shape data of asteroids and lunar and planetary bodies obtained so far. They will be guided to familiarize themselves with lunar and planetary exploration. In addition, activities related to the International Space Station Tanpopo will also be conducted in separate groups.
We also collaborates with another course "Venture Experience Workshop no.2, Utilization of Space Remote Sensing Data".

The workshop will consist of the following four parts

< Facility Tour >
Tours of the Tsukuba Space Center, neighboring research institutes, JAXA Sagamihara Campus, and other facilities will be conducted on weekends and holidays, and on days when the entire university is closed, on a one-day basis, upon the request of students enrolled in the course.
This tour for 2024 will be held on the extra day for the Q2 final exam.

< Moon/Planets Gazing Sessions and Lectures >
Students who wish to participate in these events are invited to watch the Moon and planets through the telescope of the observatory on the rooftop of UoA. Teams will also participate in lectures and practical training by external lecturers, as well as events and activities related to lunar and planetary exploration, such as hackathons.

< Lectures and Data Analysis Hands-on Training >
During the semester, students analyze remote sensing data from deep space probes. The content is related to image processing engineering and computer vision, but the course is designed to be accessible to new students.

< Participation in the International Space Station Tanpopo Project >
The TANPOPO Project ( https://www.wakusei.jp/book/pp/2011/2011-2/2011-2-117.pdf ) is a Japanese space mission to expose organic matter / microorganisms to space and collect cosmic dust and microorganisms in the Japanese Experiment Module of the International Space Station (ISS). The International Space Station, as the name suggests, is international, and the activities will be conducted in collaboration with multiple research institutes and universities, including overseas researchers, making it a project-based learning program with significant educational benefits. This is a unique opportunity to be involved in a JAXA space mission. It is possible for students who are interested in space and are enthusiastic about working with their hands.

DEAR STUDENTS is an acronym for Dramatic English Audibly Rendered by Students.

The aim of the SCCP is to recite short snippets of famous English drama, poetry, or other literature in a dramatic manner. In this course, students will imitate the pronunciation and mannerisms of well known renderings.

授業の目的と到達目標
/Objectives and attainment
goals
To this purpose, they will be guided by audio visual material available on the internet such as the following:

1. A rendering of “To be or Not to be”, a famous passage from Shakespeare’s play ‘Hamlet’   https://youtu.be/qYiYd9RcK5M?t=20

2. A rendering of Snowflake from William Baer during the competition ‘Poetry Out Loud’ https://youtu.be/w17JeSC8Oq4?t=5

Another objective of the course is to make students familiar with different English accents, for example by imitating

1) The famous speech by Martin Luther King Jr. https://youtu.be/vP4iY1TtS3s?t=38

2) Rendering of ‘I am in Love with this world’ by Megha Rao https://youtu.be/Q3zpXxnHAP4
and so on.

A few such snippets will be used throughout the course and the renderings will be rehearsed again and again till the students attain good skill in imitating the speeches and action.  We hope that the course will in some manner help students master English and use it to good effect in their personal and professional lives.

Understanding Intercultural Experiences for Engineering Students

The goal of this class is to build an intercultural mindset, the cultural appropriate skills, and leadership skills for understanding the communication-based, cultural, economic, emotional, physical, political, religious, and social aspects of an overseas of community-based intercultural experience.

This is also a multi-disciplinary class where students discuss simple and straightforward questions from overseas, such as "a signal that is shown in green is called a blue light in Japan? to response with an appropriate manner. Emphasis on general methodology and process required to develop personal awareness and resources for successful field experience and guest speakers.

- Second Semester [3rd Quarter / 4th Quarter]
Understanding Regional Innovation for Engineering Students

To be able to create new values for regional innovation using the regions assets is a big need in today’s society. However, only to have the ability to problem solve is simply not enough. What has become important when wanting to create regional innovation is to have the ability to create a creative process in tackling problems.

The goal of this class is for students to be able to create a creative process for regional innovation. In order to do so, students will learn the skillsets, understand the mindsets and gain the motivations towards creating regional innovation. Skillsets are the methods in how we may create new ideas for regional innovation. Mindsets are the ways of thinking when challenging to create regional innovation. Motivations are the ways of feeling the desire to create regional innovation.

Not only will the class have lectures on methods to create regional innovation but also have fieldwork practices, idea creation workshops and guest talks from leading regional innovators that will nurture the skillsets, mindsets and motivations.

Have you ever been interested in AI but wondered how to program it or how to run it? In this SCCP, you will learn how to generate and run AI models using Google's Colaboratory, which is used around the world. Google Colaboratory is easy for anyone to generate AI models without spending a lot of money. The AI models will be generated using TensorFlow, which is also used around the world. The generated AI models will be deployed on a microcontroller board called Raspberry Pi to perform image recognition using a camera.
At the beginning of the project, we will use Google Colaboratory to generate an image classification model that determines whether a model car is going straight, right, or left in response to an image captured by a camera (you can generate the model just by pushing buttons on Google Colaboratory). Next, you will learn the basics of Python (a programming language), deep learning (a class of AI), and the Raspberry Pi. After that, you will drive the model car automatically on a specified course. Finally, you will present the results using slides.

A Korean popular culture took place in East Asia from the 2000s onward.
In Japan, it was triggered by the broadcast of the Korean drama "Winter Sonata" from around 2003.
The trend was not limited to TV dramas, but also affected movies, music, idols, cuisine, language, literature, and many other areas.
We have more opportunities to come into contact with Korean IT, culture and language, and we wanted to experience them at the University of Aizu, which is why we planned this project.

A large-scale integration (LSI) is an important device for our life. Recently, among various types of LSIs, an FPGA SoC which is composed of a programmable hardware “FPGA” and many components such as processors, memories, etc. is used in various applications. To utilize FPGA SoC, skills about “software (SW)/hardware (HW) cooperative design” is indispensable. From this viewpoint, this SCCP aims to learn such SW/HW cooperative design using AMD-Xilinx's Zynq as one typical example of the FPGA SoC. The goal of this SCCP is to implement a tiny PC on the Zynq.
授業の目的と到達目標
/Objectives and attainment
goals
The purpose and goal of this project is as follows.

1. The Basis of FPGA SoC
At first, we will learn the basic knowledge about FPGA SoC and its design methodology.

2. The Basis of Hardware Description Language (HDL)
Then we will learn a programming language for the HW design called “Verilog-HDL” through implementing a simple example circuits on the FPGA SoC.

3. The Basis of SW/HW Cooperative Design
The next step is to learn how to control HW by SW (in this case, C program). In this way, we will experience the SW/HW cooperative design.

4. Implementation of Tiny PC on FPGA SoC
As the goal of this SCCP, we implement a tiny PC on the FPGA SoC and verify its function such as image processing and its display.

Through the exercises, I hope you will master the basic skills as a hardware engineer.

授業の概要

Although debugging and testing are important to avoid bugs in a program to check it working correctly, this alone does not guarantee that the program will work 100% correctly. Proving the correctness of a behavior of the program, we can perfectly guarantee that the program works correctly with respect to the behavior you have proved.  Also, the principles of operation of AI, robots, algorithms, etc. are given by mathematical theories, whose proofs are necessary to make these theories without error. Therefore, proofs are useful not only for solving pure mathematical problems, but also for assuring the correctness of programs and for developing the necessary theories for computers.
Recently, a proof support system has become available that allows users to express the properties of programs or various mathematical theories on a computer, and to prove them with the assistance of a computer. This has opened the way for error-free proofs with the help of computers, instead of paper-and-pencil proofs, which are prone to errors.
In this project, students will learn how to prove properties of programs and theories about computers using Coq, a formal proof management system. Note that most of the proof methods used are enough to be learned in high school (mainly mathematical induction).
授業の目的と到達目標
/Objectives and attainment
goals
The students who participated in this project are able to
・learn how to express problems by Coq.
・learn how to proceed with proofs by Coq.
・master the proof techniques by Coq necessary for proving programs and theories.
授業スケジュール
/Class schedule
This project will run for a full year throughout the first and second semesters.
First, students will learn the basics of propositional logic and predicate logic, which are fundamental to proofs.
Next, students will learn how to prove the properties of programs and mathematical problems using Coq by referring to literature on Coq. The instructor will mainly give lectures, but there may be cases in which students prepare in advance and explain to other students.
Finally, each student will set an assignment and define and prove that assignment using Coq with the advice from the instructor. Afterwards, students will present how they defined and proved the issue using Coq.
Exercises will be set as appropriate, and the students should solve them by the assigned date. Solutions are reviewed after the students have submitted their solutions. If nobody could solve the problem, all the participants discuss and consider the problem.
