学習・教育到達度目標 D-1 （設計・システム系，情報・論理系，材料・バイオ系，力学系を含む工学の基礎となる学問分野について，自主的かつ継続的に学習できる。）

Teaching Method

Outline:

Polymers can be broadly classified into natural polymers, such as fibers and foods found in nature, and synthetic polymers, such as plastics and films synthesized by humans. In this course, students will learn how the polymers that exist around us are synthesized, as well as their types and properties.

Style:

In addition to lectures based on textbooks and handouts, exercises and experiments will be conducted as needed to deepen understanding.
