Graduation Thesis 1

Students learn the cycle of discovering issues related to the civil engineering field and proposing, verifying, and evaluating methodologies for solving those issues. Specifically, students discover problems based on their knowledge of civil engineering and related fields such as mathematics, mechanics, statistics, and sociology, propose methodologies for solving problems, verify the methodologies by constructing experimental equipment and environments and programming, and evaluate the methodologies by verifying accuracy, performance, and conducting questionnaire surveys. We then evaluate the methodology by verifying its accuracy, performance, and questionnaire surveys.

Students discover issues related to the civil engineering field and learn the cycle of proposing, verifying, and evaluating methodologies for solving those issues, thereby developing the abilities required of civil engineers. The abilities to be developed in students are specifically set as “attitude as an engineer,” “problem-solving skills,” “conceptualization and problem-setting skills,” “writing and dialogue skills,” and “self-learning skills.

1. Students understands the background of the subject matter and can explain the significance of the research
2. Students are able to use their expertise, perform appropriate experiments and analyses, and draw conclusions
3. Students are able to organize issues, apply their expertise, and provide solutions to problems.
4. Students are able to produce logical technical writing. Students are able to accurately convey their own opinions while at the same time understanding and appropriately responding to the opinions of others.
5. Students can learn independently and continuously, evaluate the results of their learning, and set the next task based on their evaluation.
6. Students are able to develop a plan to be carried out within a period of time in the implementation of the research and to follow that plan.

Evaluation by supervisor
- Seminar activities (Goal 1: 25% (attitude as an engineer), Goal 2: 10% (problem-solving ability), Goal 3: 10% (creativity, problem-setting ability), Goal 4: 35% (writing ability, dialogue ability), Goal 5: 10% (self-learning ability), Goal 6: 10% (seminar activities))

The above "attitude as an engineer", "problem-solving ability", "creativity, problem-setting ability", "writing ability, dialogue ability", "self-learning ability", and "seminar activities" will be evaluated based on the degree of contribution to the seminar that improves the content of seminar activities, including the implementation of one's own research and experiments, cooperation with other students in experiments, the quantity and quality of idea creation, the quantity and quality of opinions, advice to other students, and the quality of submitted work.
