Every river related issues have something to do with what you learn now !! 〜 Urawa & Urawa Daiichi Joshi High School students’ visit to the University of Tokyo 〜March 27, 2014

620

[Outline]

This program was organized by one laboratory named River Environment and Engineering Laboratory that belongs to Department of Civil Engineering, School of Engineering, the University of Tokyo. Our mission to be performed was as follows.

1. Inform that the school of Engineering is tackling broad topics by using diverse techniques, but there are still many topics even in one of many laboratories of one department in school of engineering.
2. Inform that subjects they learned in the high school are not for examinations, but are essential to solve the real world problems by integrating the knowledge.
3. Make students join experiment, discussion and field excursion as well as classroom lectures. Moreover, make them observe the practical business.
4. Make students interest international issues as well as domestic ones.
5. Make students understand that there are more answers to solve the real world problems.

In order to perform these missions, we created 10 hours program in which students can understand river related issues by referring the subjects taught in the high school.

『すべての高校科目は河川の実問題に通ず』

埼玉県立浦和高校・浦和第一女子高校向け高大連携講座
東京大学社会基盤学科訪問企画 河川工学編

【概要】
今回の企画は,東京大学工学系研究科社会基盤学専攻に所属する河川/流域環境研究室という一研究室で担当した.今回の我々に与えられたミッションは,

1.非常に幅広いテーマを様々なアプローチで扱う工学部の中の,一学科,一研究室を取り出してみても,扱っている範囲もアプローチも実に多様だということを伝える.
2.高校で習っている科目は試験のためだけではなく,これらの知識をすべて組み合わせることで実社会の問題解決にも役立つことを伝える.
3.座学だけでなく,実験,議論,現地調査に参加できるプログラムとし,実務の現場にも触れさせる.
4.日本国内にとどまらず,国際問題にも関心が持てるようなプログラムとする.
5.実際に起こっている問題に対する答えは必ずしも一つではないことを理解させる.
であった.

これらのミッションに答えるべく,高校科目と対応させつつ河川について学べるおよそ10時間のプログラムを実施した.以下,その概要について報告する
