Graduation Thesis 2

Students acquire the ability to resolve technical issues by recognizing the role of electrical and robotics in domestic and international society accurately, understanding the technological needs of today's society, and reflecting these to the manufacturing.
Specifically, students acquire the ability to understand society's needs and discover issues on their own interest through highly specialized and international issues in the fields of electrical engineering and robotics.
In addition, by experiencing the entire process from design to production and evaluation, and collaborating with overseas students as necessary, students develop their design abilities, inquisitiveness, and global abilities.
Under the instruction of the supervisor, students will set a theme of issues and experience solving that problem.

Students will deepen their specialized knowledge regarding their own research topic, improve the basic behavioral skills necessary to proceed with research, and develop abilities that will lead to graduation research 3 and 4.

1. Be able to grasp the needs of domestic and international society.
2. Be able to discover issues on their own that meet the needs of domestic and international society and set these as specific themes.
3. Through conceptual design and subsequent detailed design, students can explain the process of technical solutions, including manufacturing and evaluation, and solve problems.
4. Be able to design and document electrical engineering and robotics technologies and engineer ethics.

Under the instruction of the supervisor, the stundents set a theme of issue, experience solving the problem, and present what you have learned at the final presentation. The evaluation is determined by averaging the evaluation scores of multiple professors.
A score of 60 or above is required to pass the course.

Space Electric Propulsion Research

Space utilization and services have been expanding, and electrical engineering is playing an important role in developing space transportation and energy systems. In this laboratory activity, students conduct researches on space electric propulsion and space energy conversion engineering. More specific research themes are as follows:
1. Electric propulsion: Electric propulsion is one type of rocket propulsion systems that uses electric energy in space. In this theme, students work on the development of electric propulsion systems, improvement of thruster performance, and elucidation of internal physics.
2. Space environment utilization: The space environment exhibits various characteristics such as atmospheric gas, geomagnetic field, and solar wind plasma in addition to solar energy. In this theme, students develop technologies using the space environment for new possibilities of space missions and transportation systems.
3. Plasma engineering: Plasma is a keyword in electric propulsion research. Students work on experiments and numerical simulations for understanding of plasma physics and development of new plasma devices.

Follow the instructions of the supervisor in each laboratory.

It is desirable that the content is connected to graduation research 3 and 4, and that most of the requirements for graduation are met.
