Course description

Students improve their specialties and practical experiences by applying their knowledge obtained through lectures and training in the WISE Program and research activities to the real spots in the society or the sites of social implementation of research outcome (such as commercialization or connection to the technology extension, etc.) in Japan and overseas. More specifically, students should identify the problems at sites, examine the techniques for solving those problems, gather the necessary specialized knowledge and related information from adjacent domains, and acquire practical skills in teamwork and in communication with stakeholders for problem solving. By building up practical abilities and experience as engineers and researchers, students gain confidence to exhibit their real abilities while making use of the knowledge they have each learned, and this engenders flexibility enabling response suited to the situation. In addition, by recognizing how the findings they have developed in their own research are used on-site, students learn things like vision to help spark innovation. Students are allowed to apply for credits (transferring) to this course based on their own activities. When students took the equivalent courses in their or other departments, or when students conducted activities equivalent to this course, in terms of contents, hours, and desired goals and competencies, they may apply for credit transferring to this course. For details, please refer to the Credit Transfer Application Guidelines provided separately.
