ENGR 365 Global Engineering and Technology<\/h3>\n

co-offered with HIST 308 Explorations of Regional History: Japan<\/h3>\n

Japan, 2023<\/h3>\n

ENGR 365 Japan 2023 was led by Dr. Yanjun Yan<\/a>. HIST 308 was led by Dr. Gael Graham. Both ENGR 365 Japan and HIST 308 courses were offered as a combo class. Read the WCU news article about this trip here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next year in summer 2024<\/strong>, Dr. Yan and Dr. Graham will lead students to visit Bulgaria<\/strong><\/a>. Bulgaria is the oldest country in Europe (with a civilization on its land about seven thousand years ago) and the biggest rose oil exporter in the world, while hosting many global and local companies that adapt to the local culture and markets. The students will experience all flavors of history, religions, ideals, craftsmanship, and engineering practices.<\/p>\n

If you want to visit Japan in a WCU cohort<\/strong>, you may consider the JPN 493 course<\/strong> led by Dr. Ono<\/strong> (yono@wcu.edu<\/a> McKee 128A) and\u00a0 Mrs. Li<\/strong> (yli@wcu.edu<\/a>) and earn 3 WCU credits, or the BA 304 and MKT 407 course combo<\/strong> led by Dr. Rader<\/strong> (email him at srader@wcu.edu<\/a> or visit him in FOB 2B) and earn 6 WCU credits. Many of the JPN 493 students will have taken some Japanese language course (and they can come to your aid when needed), but it is not required for you to have any prior knowledge in the Japanese language to join JPN 493. What is required in JPN 493 is your curiosity to experience Japanese culture with an open mind and heart. Similarly, BA 304 and MKT 407 are open to all WCU students, and you can talk with Dr. Rader to see if those courses are what you are interested in.<\/p>\n

The three trips to Japan in 2023 (Yan and Graham leading this ENGR\/HIST trip, Rader and Kotomi Rader leading the MKT\/BA trip, Ono and Nanaka Okamura leading the JPN trip) were in close collaboration during the trip planning phase, and we sincerely appreciate such collaboration and support system.<\/p>\n

The Sanja Festival (\u4e09\u793e\u796d, Sanja Matsuri) is an annual festival in the Asakusa<\/a> district that usually takes place over the third full weekend in May. It is held in celebration of the three founders of Sensoji Temple<\/a>, who are enshrined in Asakusa Shrine next door to the temple. Nearly two million people visit Asakusa over the three days of the festival, making it one of Tokyo<\/a>‘s most popular festivals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Akihabara (\u79cb\u8449\u539f), also called Akiba after a former local shrine<\/a>, is a district in central Tokyo<\/a> that is famous for its many electronics shops. In more recent years, Akihabara has gained recognition as the center of Japan’s otaku (diehard fan) culture, and many shops and establishments devoted to anime and manga<\/a> are now dispersed among the electronic stores in the district. On Sundays, Chuo Dori, the main street through the district, is closed to car traffic from 13:00 to 18:00 (until 17:00 from October through March).<\/p>\n
