Teaching Method

Outline:

This course is set up as part of an introduction for an internship and sandwich system. The aim is to gain a sense of practical technology through technical experience in companies or government agencies, etc., and to use the results obtained from technical experience in learning.

Style:

Follow the host company instructor's instructions.

Notice:

Read the Akashi Kosen Graduate Study Internship Guidelines carefully, and closely communicate with the department principal or with the faculty of basic engineering research or special research. During the internship period, students should actively try to acquire technical and other skills, and dress and use language that is appropriate for an intern. The internship period shall be at least 10 working days during the summer holidays, etc. The graduate study internship may include up to 15 hours of preliminary guidance (manner lesson, preliminary research on the host company), debrief sessions, and time for preparing reports, with a total of 90 hours.
If it is determined that conducting the internship at a company or other institution will be difficult due to things like social circumstances, and if it is necessary to provide reasonable consideration for students, the internship will be replaced with research on companies, etc., related to the field of graduate study. In that case, the evaluation will consist of an evaluation by research advisers for students' research on companies, etc. (30%), the research report (30%), and outcomes debrief session results (40%). In the Course Objectives and Aims and the Rubric Evaluation items, the following items should be replaced as follows:
(1) "Experience some of the actual technical activities at the host companies, etc." as "conduct research and study using the specified methods of the companies, etc., of research target and to obtain advice from the members or supervising faculty member of research there."
(2) "Work collaboratively in the assigned workplace" as "contribute to the activities of company of target research."
(3) "What has been learned empirically" as "one's own research result."
