Outline and Purpose of the Course This course provides various kinds of engineering issues related to the water environment in English, which cover fundamental knowledge, the latest technologies and regional application examples. These lectures, English presentations by students, and discussions enhance English capability and internationality of students.
The course is conducted in simultaneous distance-learning from Kyoto University, or from remote lecture stations in University of Malaya, and Tsinghua University of China. For the distance-learning, a hybrid system is used, which consists of prerecorded lecture VIDEO, VCS (Video conference system) and SS (slide sharing system).
Course Goals Each student is requested to give a short presentation in English in the end of the course. The students will understand the present circumstance of environments in the world, and the students may improve their English skill and international senses through these lectures, presentations, and discussions.
