Electrical engineering is not just about electricity, but is a comprehensive and applied discipline that is closely connected to various fields such as electric energy, communication, control, semiconductor, electrophysics, computer, and biomedical. Electrical technology is essential in modern society and can be applied to many industries, and graduates of the Department of Electrical Engineering...

Just as giraffes evolved longer necks to give them an advantage in survival, so too did evolution and natural selection give rise to Homo sapiens. However, we are now using science to create ourselves, and to cross the boundary between biology and humanity through intelligent design, including genetic manipulation, cyborg engineering, and non-organic engineering. This suggests the possibility of...

Anti-prostitution laws have limitations in that they shadow the sex trade, making it difficult for sex workers to obtain legal protection, reinforcing negative social perceptions, and causing economic harm. The solution is to legalize or decriminalize the sex trade so that sex workers have legal rights, human rights, and economic security.   In 2015, when prostitution was legalized in...

  We often think of Murphy’s Law when we experience minor bad luck, like missing a shuttle bus or getting in the wrong line. However, this comes from the illusion that we feel unfortunate when in fact it’s a natural phenomenon that has a probabilistic and scientific explanation. In addition, negative events are recognized by the brain as important information and remembered for a...

Programming languages are the tools that allow computers to communicate with humans, and they come in two flavors: compilers and interpreters. A compiler converts an entire program into machine language at once, but the downside is that it can’t be executed in its entirety if there are errors. Interpreters, on the other hand, interpret line by line and provide immediate feedback, which is...

Advances in cyborg engineering open up new possibilities by combining the human body with inorganic materials, but they also pose the risk of a loss of personal identity. In particular, the connection between the brain and the computer could lead to a loss of identity as personal memories are mixed with those of others. These changes could disrupt the human mindset and sense of self, eventually...

This article explains the different ways to cure a hangover in a drinking culture and the science behind them. To reduce the health effects of drinking and avoid disrupting your daily routine, it’s important to utilize hangover remedies such as bean sprout soup, which is rich in asparaginic acid to help break down acetaldehyde, honey water to energize the liver, hogwash drinks from...

Humans have long interpreted nature and society through the question “Why?” – first through religion and mythology to understand natural phenomena, and later through philosophy and science to take a more logical and systematic approach. Research shows that the left brain drives interpretation and language, creating logic to convince ourselves in the face of contradictions. In this process...

Steve Jobs’ innovative products have come to symbolize technological determinism because of the market response, but in reality they evolved in response to the times and consumer demand. The first smartphone, IBM’s Simon, was rejected because society wasn’t ready for it, but the iPhone met social demands and the mood of the times, leading to public enthusiasm. Even accidental...
