You may request your desired supervisor from the list.
１） COURSE IN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND INFRASTRUCTURE ENGINEERING①

Advanced Lecture on Maximum Utilization Technology of Energy and Resources / Seiyo O, Professor
Fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum have been used in various forms until now inorder to make human social activity productive. From this lecture, it is historically lookedback upon the pollution problems generated in these processes. We have to consider how
to reduce the environmental impact on resource utilization. Various techniques, such as
control, management and treatment and recycling of wastes, efficient use of exhaustible
fossil resources, and conversion processes on renewable energy or biomass refining
technology, etc., will be outlined by an intensive lecture, and the concepts and concrete
applied examples are introduced. It is important for basic knowledge of environmentalsciences.
