Class participation is crucial because it helps you build self-confidence. Probability statistics and mathematics of differential and integral will be helpful to understand the basic issues.

Grading Method Learning attitudes 25%+ Individual and/or group discussion, Mini test 30%+ Final Examination and/or final report 45%; A passing score is a score of 60% or up.

Practical Experience

Summary of Practical Experience and Class Contents based on it

Message First and most important thing is that the graduate students of science and technology should have their own high professional skills and technologies. This course provides all students a new perspective of technology transfer based upon MOT and Venture Business (MOT-1). In this course, you will learn many successful stories, marketing science and customer service related with technology transfer. I will strongly recommend you because this is one of the useful courses for all graduate students. In addition, etiquette for lecturers, particularly the part-time lecturers is required.

Other The contact information of the VBL office in charge of all courses of Management of Technology (MOT) are (Tel) 082-424-7880 and (Email) vbl@hiroshima-u.ac.jp.

Please fill in the class improvement questionnaire which is carried out on all classes.
Instructors will reflect on your feedback and utilize the information for improving their teaching.
