Assigned Department Objectives

学習・教育到達度目標 B-1 （社会が要求している問題を見出せる。）

学習・教育到達度目標 B-4 （情報技術に関する知識を利活用できる。）

学習・教育到達度目標 C-1 （科学技術論文を作成できる。）

学習・教育到達度目標 E-3 （技術的構想や創造的思考を卒業研究としてまとめられる。）

Teaching Method

Outline:

In the process of promoting their research themes, students will acquire the practical skills to solve given problems and issues by applying and utilizing the specialized knowledge they have acquired up to the fourth grade, with the goal of enhancing their cultivation as engineers who can contribute to society.

Style:

1. the student is the main actor in the graduation research. Students should take the initiative in working on their research projects.
2. When conducting research, students must enter the results of the day's research in the research logbook.
3. Even if the research hours (including contact hours) exceed the minimum hours required for JABEE accreditation, the research must be conducted during the graduation research hours specified for class time.
4. failure to submit a preliminary draft or graduation thesis, or failure to make a presentation, will result in failure of the graduation research.
【300 class hours】

Notice:

We expect students to plan their own research projects, work independently and continuously, and carry out their research.
