Course description
[Purpose]
 Understand social and corporate issues, and study and propose solutions through Project-Based Learning (PBL). Students will acquire the ability to explore issues on their own, interview potential customers or users, analyze, and propose business plans for solutions based on scientific thinking. Students will also gain a practical understanding that this series of steps is common to research proposals based on social needs and is an important basic element of both research and business.
 In particular, we will strive to make proposals that make the most of our respective expertise and research capabilities, and search for points of contact with society where our own research values and research fields can make a contribution.
Furthermore, based on teamwork, leadership and team management skills will be strengthened.

[Overview]
 Each team gathers information on social and corporate issues prepared by the program or the students themselves, including interviews with partner companies, parties involved in the issue, targets (customers), etc., to extract, explore, analyze, and understand the issues. In addition, students will devise a business plan based on new technology as a method for proposing solutions, and learn the steps for building such a plan in a practical manner. In this course, students will receive guidance from industry mentors.

 *This course will be held in conjunction with Introduction to Global Excellence Leader I.
