The students are assigned to laboratories based on a questionnaire and spend one year trying to reach their goals. The students submit their results as a graduation thesis and also give oral presentations.

Grade evaluation method : The students are evaluated on the achievement of the following educational objectives based on graduate thesis evaluation form provided separately. The students who satisfy the evaluation criteria obtain the credit:
1. Submitted graduation thesis
2. Oral presentation at thesis defence
・Submitted graduation research plan and its presentation
・Submitted midterm report and its abstract
・Submitted graduation research result report
・Submitted report concerned with engineering ethics

Notice:

Precautions on the enrollment :
This course is practical subject and the student need to the redit of this course to complete this school year.

Course advice : The students who go on advanced course may continue to study the same reseach subject.

Attendance advice : It is important that the students choose interest subject and work on a problem positively. The passive
