Educational Programs
Digital Green-innovation (DGI) Program
What is the DGI program?
An educational program that study an interdisciplinary research integrating information science, bioloscience, and materials science in NAIST.
All students can choose this program.
CDG faculty surpport to select subjects for each student.
What subjects are included in the DGI program?
Subjects that:
- include wide range of academic disciplines (even if social science.)
- practice DX (Digital Transformation)
- develop human resources with an entrepreneurial spirit
- collaborate with various companies and ventures
What kind of students select the DGI program?
Students who:
- try to study interdisciplinary research
- gain knowledge in various research fields
- want to become entrepreneurs
- Immediately make use their research skills in the workforce
Interdisciplinary Subjects
Subjects that provide easy-to-understand explanations of content that even students in other fields should know.
Interdisciplinary Subjects Provided by Bioscience
Human Body Structure, Function and Diseases
This class provides an overview of the structure and function of the human body and the origins of disease, which are their failures.
Applying Chemistry to Society
For students interested in health and environmental issues, this class provides an overview of the chemical approach to understand the environment surrounding living organisms, including humans.
Cell Biology by the Number
This class provides an overview of methods for quantitatively representing organisms and their environment in order to scientifically capture organisms, including humans, using a variety of techniques.?
Interdisciplinary Subjects Provided by Information Science
Advanced Digital Technologies
This class will explain the most advanced digital technologies that can be used to solve social problems, such as IoT, AI, computer graphics, and VR/AR, so that students without studied information science can understand what they can and cannot do.
Programming for Digital Green Technology
This practise will learn the basics of Python3, a general-purpose programming language, and establish a foundation for independent study. The goal is to learn the basics of programming in a fun way through programming contests and other activities while utilizing online video learning.
Data Processing for Digital Green Technology
In the first half, students will learn the basics of data analysis methods using Microsoft Excel, and in the second half, they will learn data analysis, statistical tests, and visualization methods using Python3. Also, students will also learn the rudiments of image processing methods using deep learning.
Interdisciplinary Subjects Provided by Material Science
Biomaterials Chemistry
The objective of the class is to deepen students' understanding of the chemical properties of various biologically relevant materials, such as biologically relevant molecules and their hybrid molecules, as well as molecules that exhibit biocompatibility.
Semiconductor Materials
To outline the methods of quantitatively representing living organisms and the environment in order to scientifically capture living organisms, including humans, with various technologies.
Social Science Subjects
Social science subjects that provide knowledge that is important to know when working on social implementation of science and technology to solve social issues such as the SDGs.
Marketing for Social Change I・II
In order to solve global social issues such as achieving SDGs and bioeconomy, it is necessary to quantitatively analyze economic activities from various perspectives. This subject will provide an overview of social marketing incorporating the perspective of behavioral economics.
Markets and the Environment I・II
In order to solve global social issues such as achieving SDGs and bioeconomy, it is necessary to quantitatively analyze economic activities from various perspectives. This subject will provide an overview of ICT-based two-sided markets (platforms) and environmental and natural resource economics.
Ethical, Legal and Social Implications of Green Innovation
In order to solve global social issues such as achieving the SDGs and the bioeconomy, it is necessary to address the ethical, legal, and social implications known as ELSI and the various regulations that accompany them. This class will provide an overview of these realities and issues taken from a broad perspective.
Perspectives on Governing Emerging Technologies
In order to solve global social issues such as achieving the SDGs and the bioeconomy, it is necessary to utilize cutting-edge digital and green technologies and implement them in society. This?subject?will outline the relationship between science and technology and economic activities viewed from a broad perspective.
Innovation Subjects
Subjects that aim to solve social implications such as the SDGs and to obtain cultivate basic skills such as the way of thinking to create innovations.
Fundamentals of Innovation (Cross X Cross)
Aiming to develop human resources who can "push forward toward difficulties without faltering by involving/collaborating with others who have different skills and personalities," which is necessary to realize innovation.
Advanced Lecture on Creation of Innovation I-V (GEIOT)
This subject aims to develop the entrepreneurial mindset, know-how, and problem-solving skills necessary to commercialize advanced science and technology, which will lead to the creation of innovations.
Co-creation of Global Innovation
International and Japanese students in biological science and fusion programs (participants must be able to communicate in English-only classes) will be divided into global groups of several people to virtually explore entrepreneurship.
Development of Bioscience into Industry
The class will provide by eight researchers belong to companies and ventures in food, pharmaceutical, trading, manufacturing, chemical and so on, to discuss the current status and future prospects of research and development in companies. They will introduce collaboration with academia and difference in the research characteristics between commercial companies and academia.
Project-Based Learning (PBL) Subjects
Subjects in which various type of students work in teams to discover and solve to the emerging issues.
Digital Green-innovation PBL I ・II
In FY2022, Each student selected two tasks from the follows:
1. Digital transformation (DX) of our research
2. Sensing Devices in Drones
3. Biopolymers as Food Additives
4. A New Way of Farming
