Teaching Method

Outline:

The aim of this course is to develop practical skills for problem solving by integrating engineering knowledge that the students have learned so far and applying it to individual research assignments of their own choice. They will also learn practical techniques for engineering research. Research subjects, unlike exercise questions, do not have answers from the beginning. Learn the fun of studying unknown areas while repeating the trial and error.

Style:

Students will be assigned to each laboratory and receive research guidance from the supervisors.

Notice:

This course's content will amount to 360 hours of study in total. These hours include the learning time guaranteed in classes and the standard self-study time required for pre-study / review, and completing assignment reports. Students should proceed with research voluntarily and proactively based on their knowledge they have gained from previous study. Specifically, each research process should be carried out voluntarily and based on self-judgment, as much as possible, to explore the issues given and think about approach methods until they arrive at an answer.
