Graduation Thesis 2

nishikawa hiroyuki
Course description
Students are required to acquire knowledge on the advancement and the depth of various areas of electrical engineering and related fields. Students will perform research in the laboratories to find issues and solutions in their areas of interest under the supervision of professors. This course requires more than 150 hours of research in the laboratories with a consistent approach to the thesis topics.
Purpose of class
Based on the knowledge of electrical engineering, students gain ability to actively pursue their studies on the topics and acquire deeper understanding of the thesis.
Goals and objectives
  1. To demonstrate the ablity to find issues in a given research project and to make a plan to solve the problems in an independent way.
  2. To demonstrate the ablity to carry out the study to achieve goals in the plan without delay.
  3. To demonstrate the ablity to obtain the results of study and to evaluate the achivements.
  4. To demonstrate the ablity to setup the next goals based on the discussion on obtained results.
  5. To demonstrate the ablity to write documents including issues, plans, and research outcomes in the forms of a report with figures and tables.
  6. To demonstrate the ablity to make oral presenrtation of issues, plans, and research outcomes.
