In production and consumption of materials, structural materials are dominant. Technological development in materials industry affects significant positive impacts in broad end uses. A newly developed high-performance materials fulfill higher design requirement, which makes more advanced product design possible. The first half of this class introduces production process of major materials and life cycle perspective on materials, especially structural materials. We discuss interactions amongst materials, finished products, economy, and environment in order to understand roles of materials in industrial metabolism. Global material flows and resource strategy are also introduced to give you a global vision on resources and materials. The latter half of this class introduces high-temperature materials for jet engine or gas turbine in the power plant. The processing and the necessary properties of high-temperature materials will be introduced to understand how they are designed.

4学期に開講された電磁気学の内容を受け、それをもとに物質中の電磁現象について学ぶ。第一の目標を静的な電場、磁場の下での物質の誘電性や磁性の理解とし、第二の目標を電磁波（動的な電磁場）下での物質の応答の理解とする。これらを通して日常的に体験できる電磁気現象や電子機器の仕組みなどを理解するための基礎を身につける。

Statistics and biometrics have emerged as crucial disciplines not only in agricultural sciences but also in various other fields. This significance is primarily attributed to three factors: Firstly, advancements in data measurement techniques have facilitated the collection of extensive and diverse biological and agronomic data that were previously unattainable. Secondly, the evolution of data science methodologies has enabled the integration and modeling of such collected data. Thirdly, the enhancement of computational capabilities has empowered the utilization of these methodologies. These advancements have rendered statistical and biometric methods indispensable for extracting insights from the vast and varied biological and agronomic datasets. Throughout this lecture series, a diverse array of biological and agronomic datasets will serve as illustrative examples to demonstrate various analytical methods. Delivered in a hands-on format, utilizing R, Python, and Matlab, the aim is to equip students with practical analysis skills. The initial portion of the course, spanning the first one-third, will focus primarily on techniques for summarizing, visualizing, and modeling relationships within multivariate datasets. In the subsequent one-third, students will delve into linear models, linear mixed models, local regression, and nonlinear models. Finally, in the last segment, students will explore image analysis, machine learning, and deep learning methods. While the course will cover a broad spectrum of methods, ranging from introductory to advanced levels, the emphasis will be on developing the capability to independently conduct analyses rather than on elaborating on the theoretical underpinnings of the methods.

前半：核酸、アミノ酸、タンパク質に焦点を当て、それらの構造と機能に関する基礎的な概念を学ぶとともに、それらを観察・操作する実験手法の原理について理解を深める。その後、生体物質がどのように作用することで、複雑かつ多様な細胞の機能が発現するのかについて、神経細胞をモデルとして学ぶ。（竹内） 後半：前半の講義をもとに、生体物質によって担われる複雑かつ多様な生命現象として免疫システムを取り上げ、生体物質の同化異化反応が支える個別の細胞機能が、システムとして生体防御あるいは疾患病態を担うしくみを学ぶ。物質レベルから個体レベルへ、幅広い階層を俯瞰することで興味の幅を広げるとともに、最先端の免疫学研究についても学ぶ機会とする。（反町）

生きた細胞や生体の中で起こっている分子レベルの生命現象をリアルタイムで可視化するためのバイオイメージング技術とその関連技術（ゲノム編集技術や生命現象の光操作技術など）について大要を講ずる． [A compendium of bio-imaging technologies to visualize molecular processes in living cells and organisms and related technologies (e.g. genome editing and optical manipulation of biological processes) will be given.]

地球外物質に注目し，太陽系の起源と進化に関する物質科学の基礎と最先端を理解する． Lectures on the origin and early evolution of the Solar System through analysis of pristine extraterrestrial materials, laboratory experiments, and Solar System exploration and on basic physical chemistry and material science.

エネルギー物質について学び、その特性を理解することにより、エネルギー物質および発火・爆発危険性物質の安全な取扱方法を身につける。

広く産学官にわたってグローバルに活躍するために必要な「俯瞰力」を養成することを目指す。物質科学の各分野について最先端の知識を修得し、自分の専門分野と周辺分野がどのように関連するか、あるいはし得るか、について深く考察するために、第一線で活躍する講師の方々にその分野の最前線を概観していただく。さらに、それらの講義を通して異分野間のコミュニケーションを円滑に進めるための具体的方法論を学ぶ。 This survey course is designed to enable students to develop the broad perspective that is required of global leaders working in and across industry, academia, and government. Students will gain knowledge and insight on advancements in each field of materials science research, given by leading researchers working on the frontline in those fields. This will allow students to consider how peripheral fields are related to their own area of expertise, and to consider the potential for forging bridges between related fields in the future. In addition, students will learn specific methodologies designed to facilitate smooth communication among different disciplines.
