Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:
General or Specialized : Specialized

Field of learning : Experiment and practice

Foundational academic disciplines : Engineering/Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Information Engineering

Relationship with Educational Objectives :This class is equivalent to "(4) Develop multi-disciplinary ability".

Relationship with JABEE programs :The main goals of learning / education in this class are "(E)Development of research skills, E-1", also "A-3, C-1, C-2, D-1, D-2, D-3, E-2,
E-3, F-1, F-2, G-1, G-2, " and "H-1" is involved. In this class, students are expected to acquire the following design skills: conceptual ability, problem-setting ability, ability to recognize problems from the viewpoint of public health and safety, culture, economy, environment, ethics, etc., ability to find solutions under the constraints arising from these problems, ability to express the conceptualized ideas in diagrams, sentences, formulas, programs, etc., and ability to plan and implement continuously. In this course, students will be involved in developing the ability to find solutions under constraints arising from these problems, the ability to express their concepts in diagrams, sentences, formulas, programs, etc., and the ability to plan and implement continuously. In addition, students are required to attend a lecture on engineering ethics.

Course outline :This class is designed to cultivate the ability to discover problems and solve problems independently by working on distinctive research topics, and to deepen knowledge and acquire research and development skills. The results of the research will be submitted as a summary of the interim presentation, and if necessary, external presentations will be made at academic conferences.
Style:
Course method : Students are expected to carry out research activities independently under the guidance of their supervisor. In the course of their efforts, the instructors provide guidance and advice on how to conduct engineering research, write scientific and technical papers, and make presentations and discussions as appropriate.

Grade evaluation method : The supervisor will evaluate according to the conditions indicated in the lesson plan.
In particular, the theme presentation will be evaluated as professional ability (10%), and the off-campus practical training report will be evaluated as cross-disciplinary ability (10%). In addition, the preparation for the midterm presentation (outline, preliminary draft) and the report on the lecture on engineering ethics will be evaluated as professional competence (70%), and the report on the fieldwork will be evaluated as cross-disciplinary competence (10%). In the evaluation, the level of achievement will be evaluated for each item of (A) and (C) to (H) of the educational program, and the student will pass if the total evaluation score is 60% or more. If the evaluation score does not reach the passing score, guidance will be given and re-evaluation may be conducted.
Notice:
Precautions on the enrollment : This is a class that requires study outside of class hours. A total of 45 hours of study is required per credit, including both class time and study outside class time. Follow the instructions of the instructor regarding study outside of class hours. And as part of the special research, majors are required to conduct practical training at private companies outside the university (off-campus training). 30 hours of off-campus training is aimed at deepening knowledge and improving research skills so as not to be separated from real-world technology.

Course advice : This subject is the most important main subject in the major. Therefore, students are expected to take the initiative in all aspects and do their best. In addition, in the second year, when students receive a bachelor's degree from the National Institution for Academic Degrees and University Evaluation (NIAD), they are required to submit a "Master's Course Plan" and a "Summary of the Results of the Master's Course". In addition to the above, it is necessary for the students to proceed with their research activities keeping in mind that the contents of the special research will be the basis for all of these. In addition, students are required to submit a research record at the end of the first and second semesters.

Foundational subjects : All subjects

Related subjects : General subjects to be studied in the major

Attendance advice : This subject is the most important main subject in the major. Therefore, students are expected to take the initiative in all aspects and do their best. In addition, in the second year, when students receive a bachelor's degree from the National Institution for Academic Degrees and University Evaluation (NIAD), they are required to submit a "Master's Course Plan" and a "Summary of the Results of the Master's Course".
