Course overview and goals
This course mainly focuses on thinking and communication skills that are necessary for creation of innovation. Discussion among students of the energy course with different backgrounds helps to promote diverse perspectives necessary for creation of innovation in research. Through this course, students are expected to develop a clear understanding of their research topics and its relation with global society. Specifically, each student develops a research initiative for energy innovation and perform a poster presentation at the end of the course. Through discussion with students and professors from different fields, students are expected to develop skills necessary to logically construct and present their own understanding of research. This course helps students to develop effective communication and intellectual exchanges of research topics.
