Teaching Method

Outline:

In recent years, many large disasters have been occurring. A learner studies disasters regarding earthquakes, rivers, and coastal and these countermeasures.

Style:

In the first quarter, you will learn about countermeasures against earthquake disasters, geological disasters, and volcanic disasters, including basic matters such as the mechanism of earthquakes.
In the second quarter of this class, students learn countermeasures against disasters regarding water: flood flow, inundation flow, debris flow, tsunamis, and high tides.
(The learning time: 30 hours, The self-study time: 60 hours)
