Course overview and goals

This project is a course of study in which students work on specific issues that they have chosen independently, and it is complementary to the coursework based on a systematic curriculum. By carrying out the project, students are expected to improve their specialist skills and acquire comprehensive development skills that are needed in society, such as communication skills necessary for discussion with others, the ability to discover and set new issues and problems, and the ability to lead unresolved problems to a solution.
Students work on a project that they have decided on in consultation with their academic advisor. In this project, students can choose to (a) further deepen their Specific Research, or prepare for their Master's Thesis research, (b) conduct new research in a different laboratory to the one where they conducted their Underdraguate Bachelor's Specific Research, or (c) undertake off-campus learning that contributes to their research, such as internships or studying abroad, with the aim of broadening their research capabilities with an eye to research development from the Master's course onwards. In addition, students will become proficient in research methods such as data acquisition, analysis of acquired data, and reflection on the results, and will also develop the ability to view things from multiple perspectives. Furthermore, students will compile the results they have obtained into reports and give presentations and discussions.

Course description and aims

By the end of this course, the student will be able to:
1) Apply knowledge of electrical and electronic engineering to solve problems related to the field
2) Study the fundamentals of fields other than electrical and electronic engineering independently to solve problems
3) Understand the significance of electrical and electronic engineering problems, judge their influence on society, and solve them
4) Explain concepts logically, discuss them, and put them in writing
5) Work as an independent researcher and have the knowledge and oral competence to present his/her point of view effectively during discussions
