Course description

To enhance expertise and experience by engaging in discussions and actions with relevant parties with a view to applying the findings obtained through lectures and practical training at the WISE Program and research in the laboratory to real-world situations in Japan and abroad, or to social implementation of research (e.g., connection to commercialization and technology diffusion). Specifically, the students will identify issue in the field related to their own research and examine from a broad perspective the research, technologies, and other methods that will lead to solutions, as well as deepen their understanding of the field through exchanges of opinions with those involved in the field and those with practical experience where these methods are applied, and trial implementations. The program will also develop the ability to communicate with stakeholders and to implement solutions. By gaining practical skills and work experience as engineers and researchers in Japan and abroad, the participants will gain confidence in their ability to apply their knowledge in diverse environments and cultivate the flexibility to respond flexibly. In addition, the participants will recognize how their research fields are (or could be) utilized in the field, and utilize them to build their visions. This course allows students to apply for credits based on their own activities. Students may apply for credit (transfer) for this course if they have their own activities, courses in their own majors, or courses taken in other majors that provide the course content, study hours, targeted achievement standards, and acquired competencies of this course. You may also take advantage of opportunities to present at academic conferences. For details, please refer to the "Guidelines for Credit (Transfer) Application," which will be provided separately.

Expected Learning

To integrate specialized knowledge, research results, etc. learned in graduate school with practical experience, and to clarify a sense of purpose for specialized knowledge and research. Specific goals to be achieved are as follows 　1. The students will be able to clarify issues in the application, implementation, and development of knowledge and explore the seeds of research, based on examples of how the knowledge and technologies they have learned through their studies and research have been used in real-world settings in Japan and overseas, or how their research has been implemented in society. 　2. To raise awareness of safety and environmental concerns in domestic and international settings, and to take a pro-research stance on research ethics, morals, and responsibility. 　3. Gain experience in discovering research needs in the real world. 　4. In research and the realization of an ideal society, the student will understand the stakeholders surrounding the subject matter, and acquire communication, negotiation, and etiquette skills with these stakeholders of various cultures, generations, etc.
