[Topic]
The Great East Japan Earthquake and the subsequent nuclear disaster significantly altered public consciousness regarding the environment, energy, and science and technology. Previously, environmental discourse was primarily framed by social and institutional measures—such as domestic regulatory frameworks (originating from efforts to combat the seven major types of pollution) and international treaties—alongside optimistic expectations for scientific and technological advancements. Today, however, we must critically engage with a growing skepticism toward these fields. This course explores:
(1) Environmental laws and regulations, including the ISO 14001 standard.
(2) The inherent contradictions and complexities of environmental issues.
(3) A comprehensive analysis of energy consumption, resources, and energy-related technologies, including fundamental principles of thermodynamics.
[Goals]
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
(1) Analyze environmental issues and improvement practices—from both resource and energy perspectives—through a critical scientific and technological lens.
(2) Apply this knowledge to real-world scenarios, such as evaluating clean energy cycles (e.g., solar-to-hydrogen conversion), to envision and propose solutions for energy-efficient, carbon-neutral societies.

[ Preparation and review outside class ]
- The lecture slides will be made available for review. Please utilize them as a resource for independent study.
- You will encounter numerous environmental issues in your daily life. We encourage you to analyze these issues through the lenses of science, technology, and engineering. Deepen your understanding by actively researching your areas of interest.
- Approach information from mass media and online sources with critical skepticism. Do not accept reports at face value; instead, verify their accuracy and evaluate their reliability. In an era of misinformation, developing the ability to distinguish authentic facts is essential to prevent the spread of inaccuracies.

[ Instructor's Message: A Shift in Environmental Thinking ]
In this course, we will explore environmental issues by balancing scientific and technological advancements with their critical social dimensions. We live in an era where we must carefully weigh how we utilize technology and energy, recognizing the limits of blind faith in scientific progress. Prioritizing short-term, "cheap" solutions often leads to significant, long-term costs that burden not only ourselves but also others, society, and the planet.
The central challenge of the 21st century is how to overcome the "bubble mentality"—the habit of inflating the value of low-quality solutions—and how to identify what truly holds value. We are entering an era where we must face the consequences of past selfishness, both our own and that of others. To what extent can science and technology address these accumulated burdens?
I hope this course provides you with the opportunity to critically examine environmental technologies in your daily life and consider what truly constitutes a sustainable future.

[ Course Overview and Scope ]
This course focuses on scientific and engineering approaches while integrating relevant topics from the humanities, such as environmental regulations and ISO standards. In the technical component, we will examine environmental issues by applying fundamental concepts essential to information and engineering, specifically physics, semiconductor engineering, and thermodynamics. Through this analysis, students will gain a practical and theoretical understanding of core thermodynamic concepts, such as entropy and enthalpy.
