Research guidance is made at each laboratory afterward. The contents vary with laboratory and theme; however, the key stages, such as themes decision and mid-term presentation, are conducted generally with the contents listed below.
1. Deciding research theme, planning of research, and starting  research
Decide a research theme with advice from his/her supervisor, and make a research plan. In addition, participate in the weekly seminar and experiments in the laboratory and take tutorial from the supervisor for better understanding of the theme.
From those experiences, enable students to conduct his/her own research.
Students collect materials and literature related to the theme to understand the background of the research, and read articles in English in turns to develop reading comprehensive skills of professional articles and literature in English.
2. Mid-term presentation
Students individually make presentation of the purpose, proposal, and progress of the research. It is required that the contents and speech are considered to be easy understanding for the audience, and prepare for answering question accurately.
Improve the research contents and quality based on the questions asked and advices given.
3. Writing graduation thesis
Student write a graduation thesis based on his/her research results. Students are expected to write the thesis logically how the research result (data) lead to the conclusion and the importance and validity of the results.
4. Final Presentation
Students make a final presentation of his/her research results.
As same as the mid-term presentation, to make the essential points of the research clear and to be easy understanding for the audience, the resume, slides and speech should be considered carefully, and students are required to prepare for questions to answer accurately.
