Course description
In the past, graduate school education aimed to develop individual research abilities, but in order to solve various social problems, it is not only the research abilities of individuals who specialize in their own specialties, but also the ability to work in teams of multidisciplinary personnel. Originality is required in project-based learning (PBL) in graduate school education, and in PBL at BASE, by incorporating the philosophy of integrating agriculture and engineering, which are the strengths and characteristics of BASE, and the diversity of research into PBL, While aiming to develop human resources in the sciences who can independently and cooperatively tackle global issues such as energy, the environment, and food, we are conscious that students will be able to engage in research and study at the graduate school with an independent and active attitude. The purpose is to promote habituation of thinking and behavior.

PBL is carried out as follows.
1) Team building
2) Organizing project issues (understanding the current situation, setting goals)
3) Analysis of issues (collection, organization and analysis of information)
4) Thinking about solutions (planning, way of thinking, verification of ideas)
5) Results presentation (presentation, review)
In order to acquire these individual techniques, three lectures and exercises will be held.

Learn the methods and ideas that are considered necessary for implementing PBL through classroom lectures and practical training.

Class code: ginc4jn
Expected Learning
It is necessary for the students to acquire the methods and ways of thinking that are considered necessary for implementing PBL.

Corresponding criteria in the Diploma Policy:
See the Curriculum maps for BASE.
Course schedule
Through lectures (lectures) and exercises (group work), students acquire the knowledge and techniques that form the basis of Problem-Solving Seminars II and III, which will be offered in the 3rd semester. In principle, it will be held in the 3rd and 4th periods on Fridays (April 7th to June 2nd)
