Course overview and goals
“Independent research project S” is for third-year students who aim for early graduation. The research topic is decided in consultation with the supervisor. Students deepen their understanding of the research topic and formulate their research plan by reviewing literature and discussing it with their supervisor and others. Students will acquire the ability to see things from multiple perspectives and research methods through research activities. In the final, students summarize and present the results and have a chance to obtain clues for deepening the research through discussions with others.
“Independent research project S” is the core of education in the laboratory. Students are expected to acquire the comprehensive skills needed in society, such as finding and setting issues and problems, problem-solving, and specialized knowledge.
Course description and aims
Students will acquire the following abilities:
1) Ability to apply specialized knowledge in the field of applied chemistry to problem-solving
2) Ability to independently learn the basics of specialized fields other than applied chemistry and apply them to problem-solving
3) Ability to understand the position of unsolved problems in the field of applied chemistry in society,
judge the impact of solving the problems on society, and work to solve them
4) Ability to provide logical explanations, develop arguments, summarize in writing, and give clear presentations
5) Ability to have the awareness of being an independent researcher and the knowledge and explanations necessary to communicate in discussions with others
