(The ICTG class is held in Q3.) The University of Aizu provides a UNIX-based computer and networking system (AINS) to students on campus. Most lectures are designed to take place within this computing environment. In this course, students first learn how to use the computing environment at the University of Aizu. They then acquire more generalized knowledge about computer and network systems, document preparation and management, principles and manners of communication via networks, as well as various tools for programming and data processing. The knowledge gained in this course serves as a foundation for professional activities after graduation from the university. |

As a computer engineering student and a professional in the field, it is essential to understand cultural issues, societal impacts, laws, and ethics related to this domain. Reflecting on past and present situations and considering the future, one must also contemplate one's role and philosophy as an engineer, as well as the ethical challenges and values associated with technology. Serious consideration must be given to the impact on society, and the consequences of introducing technology or products should be predicted. It involves considering whether the products will improve or worsen people's lives and their effects on individuals, groups, and organizations. Additionally, it is crucial to grasp the fundamental legal rights of providers and users of technological products, such as software and hardware, and to understand the ethical values grounded in those rights. Engineers must recognize their responsibilities and consider the potential outcomes of their mistakes. Understanding the limits of technology and one's limitations is crucial, and cultivating a habit of staying informed and continuous self-improvement is necessary. Furthermore, there is a need to heighten awareness about the societal impacts of computers and pay attention to diversity, fairness, inclusion (acceptance by everyone), and accessibility. Engineers are responsible for using their skills and knowledge ethically and professionally to contribute to society. Keywords: Ethical philosophy, professional ethics, intellectual property, privacy and civil liberties, communication, sustainability, history, security policies, laws, computer crimes, diversity, equity, accessibility - (The ICTG class is offered in Q3.) |

In Digital Transformation (DX) environment, how can we realize the DX/IT system that users want, and what technologies are necessary to develop it as planned within a certain period of time and with a given budget. For future employment and research and development (R&D) that utilizes IT technology, we will learn the basics of system development and project management techniques practiced in global/IT companies. We will also learn about the business environment and technology trends including DX and AI, the skills and careers required for DX/IT engineers, globalization, and the reality of failed projects. We will also introduce the qualities (competencies) of engineers used in personnel evaluations at companies. Classes are centered on lectures, but depending on the theme, exercises and assignment reports are also carried out. Since this course is intended for DX/IT-related work and R&D in a Japanese environment, the lecture materials will be written in both English and Japanese, but the lectures will be primarily in Japanese, including examples and exercises. |

*To enroll in this course, students must first register for the Creativity Development Program through the dedicated registration form. Creativity is the ability to generate new and valuable ideas and products. Each person has the talent to innovate, but to demonstrate creativity, one must understand the creative process and supporting methods, and practice them regularly. In this course, beginners of creative activity will work on specially tailored themes to experience and understand the nature of creativity and its process through lectures and practical exercises. Students will work in groups, supporting one another in a collegial atmosphere. In the practical exercises, student groups will work on themes from existing practical problems and propose novel and valuable solutions/ideas. This intensive course is offered for several consecutive days during the summer holidays. Depending on the exercise's theme, the class will be held at an off-campus venue. Attendance on all days is required. Furthermore, capacity is limited depending on the theme and venue. If applicants exceed capacity, lecturers will select students based on their enrollment in related courses, etc. For AY2026, this course is tentatively scheduled to be conducted from Aug. 25 to Aug. 28. The schedule may shift slightly depending on the venue’s requirements and other circumstances. The fixed schedule will be announced by mid-July. |

Classes consist of explanations of the content covered in the Lecture units. Exercises related to the Exercise units will be conducted as appropriate. Depending on the instructor, some exercises may be assigned as post-class study. Exercises may be completed individually or in groups. Subsequently, explanations will be provided regarding experimental objectives, procedures, result organization, discussion methods, and report writing. In the Laboratory sessions, experiments are conducted in groups, and experimental results are compiled. If time permits during class hours, students may begin preparing their experimental reports. ------------------------------ Preparatory Study For Lectures, handouts used in the class are available via the LMS. Students are expected to read the handouts and textbook sections before each class, identifying topics they understand and those they do not. For unclear points, conducting online searches or using tools such as ChatGPT is encouraged to enhance learning effectiveness. For Laboratories, students should read the handouts describing the experimental objectives and procedures, organize what they understand and do not understand, and familiarize themselves with the circuit construction, operation of experimental equipment, and expected measurement outcomes. ------------------------------ Post-class Study For Lectures, students should reread the textbook and handouts explained in class to deepen understanding, especially revisiting topics that were unclear during preparatory study. For Exercises, students should redo problems, particularly those answered incorrectly. For assigned homework exercises, students should solve the problems and check their answers using solutions provided in subsequent classes or on the LMS, repeating exercises as needed to ensure understanding. If end-of-chapter problems related to the lecture content are assigned, students are expected to work on them. For Laboratories, students should organize experimental results and compile reports. If there are doubts regarding experimental results and re-experiments are necessary, students should consult with the instructor. Depending on circumstances, re-experiments may be conducted in subsequent classes, outside class hours, or may not be permitted. Details beyond those described above may be specified in the handouts, and additional instructions or omissions may be announced by the instructor. ------------------------------ Unit StructureUnit 1: DC Circuits *Week 01* Relationship with other courses, grading policy, SI units, dimensional analysis, basic statistical measures *Preparatory note:* Although not mandatory, it is desirable that students have prior knowledge of electromagnetism from high school physics courses.
