Class Objectives
/Class Outline
The objective of this class is to improve the comprehensive ability required for professional engineers by completing a particular research project which needs broad and high-level knowledge obtained from disciplinary education and education in liberal arts. 
Class Schedule Each student will join a research group and work for a research project.

After a student joins a research laboratory, the supervisor(s) provides guidance to the student in each laboratory. Although the research activities include different contents and depend on the laboratories, students generally can receive research guidance and advices from the supervisor(s) with respect to definition of research topic, planning of research work, writing thesis, mid-term/final presentation, and so on.

1. Definition of research topic, making research plan and beginning research works
Students define the particular research topic and make the research plan under the advice of supervisor(s). They are expected to cultivate themselves by participating in the weekly seminar and the experiments at their laboratories and by receiving individual advices from their supervisors. This enables students to conduct their research works by their own hands.
Meanwhile, students are also requested to collect and review the related research papers previously published in order to understand the background of their topic well. Moreover, reading English papers relevant to their research fields, students can improve their reading skill for them.

2. Mid-term presentation
Students provide the oral presentation on objectives and plans of the research project and the progress of it. They should devise the contents and speech in their presentations to have the audience understand their presentation contents, and they have to prepare to correctly answer the questions from the audience. Furthermore, paying attention to the questions and comments in their presentations, students improve their research projects.

3. Writing thesis
Students write their own graduation thesis based on the results obtained through the research project. There, they should write coherent texts which explain how they could derive the conclusions obtained from the obtained results (or data) and specify the significance and validity of the conclusions.

4. Final presentation
Students defend their graduation thesis in a final oral presentation. They should devise their abstracts for the handouts and the contents and speech in presentation to help the audience understand the essential contents of research results easily and well. They are also required to precisely response to the questions from the audience. 
Text/Reference
Books,etc.
Supervisors instruct the references and textbooks relevant to particular research theme.
Students are required to read over and understand them well to conduct their research project.
