Course Objectives

Learning purposes:
In this class, individual students plan, survey, and procure materials for specific tasks by making use of their imaginative ability, use their imagination to solve the problems, and improve their presentation ability in the presentation of the summary. This subject fulfills the final requirements for graduation.

Course Objectives:
1. Understand the principles of problem solving in complex problems, understand the background of research, technological trends, and understand the purpose of research. (A-1, A-3, C-2, G-1)
2. Students will grasp the current situation and purpose of their research, set problems within the gap, make a research plan, develop problem setting ability and conceptual ability to systematically collect necessary materials, and tackle complex engineering problems. (D-1, E-1, E-3, G-1)
3. Based on the plan, you can put your creativity into concrete experiments and analysis. ICT can be used for basic information gathering and information dissemination. (C-2, D-1, E-1, E-3)
◎4. Develop presentation and communication skills by compiling and presenting research results in a report. Smooth communication can be achieved by using effective means (C-2, D-1, F-1).

Style:

Course method :
Conduct research activities independently under the guidance of the faculty member in charge. It is also related to research in the advanced course, and special consideration is given to the place of assignment to the laboratory for students who go on to the advanced course. In addition, foreign literartures will be read in each research laboratory as appropriate.

Notice:

Precautions on the enrollment :
This course is mainly for practical skills, students must take this class (no more than one-third of the required number of class hours missed) in order to complete the course of the academic year. In addition, since it is a subject that includes independent learning outside of class hours and 9 hours are set for 6 hours a week, independent learning time outside of hours is required.
　
Course advice :
It is important to be inquisitive and proactive.

Foundational subjects :
All subjects studied so far

Related subjects :
All subjects
Attendance advice :
Conduct research activities independently under the guidance of the faculty member in charge.
