Graduation Thesis 2

Students can select the research topics on various fields related to mechanical engineering and work on their themes under the professor. Students will learn how to find, approach and solve problems. Also, students will learn the research papers writing skills. In the process of problem-solving, students should be required creative utilization of basic knowledge acquired by the three years. So in order to take this course, students must have aquired the credit of "graduation thesis 1".
The minimum required studying time for the graduation thesis 1 is 400 minutes per week and the total learning time should be 5600 minutes. Students will decide their study schedules with the professor. Individual meeting and group discussion will hold with the professor. Some project may carry out overseas.

The purpose of this class is to utilize expert knowledge as a mechanical engineer, to independently study solutions for unknown issues. Students should present their obtained results through papers and oral presentations.

1. Students can understand the background of the problem, clarify the research purpose and focus the research subjects.
2. Students can utilize their expert knowledge, combine the appropriate experiments and analytical methods, and propose how to solve the problem.
3. Students can provide solutions and new ideas for the problem by the improvements of experimental method, equipment, computer program, analysis of the results, and etc.
4. Students can manage their research plan and perform by the deadline.
5. Students can communicate their opinion and explanation of the research result etc. Also, they can understand other person's comments or questions, and discuss with professors and other students.
6. Students acquire the skill for the topics and how to survey the information or the knowledge by using the Internet, etc.. Students have to learn continuously and autonomously.
