Course overview and goals

This course pursues researching, discussing, summarizing, and making presentation for the special research topics permitted by the student’s academic supervisor.
By pursuing course, the students can acquire the basic ability as a researcher and an engineer; such as survey and analysis of previous works, data collection, method for analysis and evaluation, capacity of understanding, creativity, ability of design, ability to find issues, ability to solve the issues, language skill, ability to make thesis, discussion method, and presentation method.
The two most important education methods in the graduate course are the coursework and the laboratory-based education, an individual guidance for the researching. This research seminar is a core course in the laboratory-based education and students are required to increase their power of specialty and power of execution, actively and spontaneously through their research.
