Purpose of class
Students will conduct advanced research in information and communication systems engineering at the master’s level, compile their research outcomes, and develop the skills necessary to write and present academic papers at conferences, as well as to respond effectively to questions regarding their work.
Course content
This research activity focuses on information and communication systems to complete the master’s course research. The main research topics include mobile computing, mobile networks, communication quality, ubiquitous computing, artificial intelligence, and biomedical engineering. Students will learn how to find their research topics, extract problems to be solved, investigate related research, propose solutions to problems, evaluate proposed solutions, summarize their research, and write their master’s thesis.
Goals and objectives
  1. Students can discover their own specialized issues with an inquisitive mind in response to social needs, and carry out everything from planning to problem solving.
  2. Students can create technical materials and reports, and effectively present and discuss them.
  3. Students can enhance their inquisitiveness by independently selecting subjects and working on them continuously.
  4. Students can formulate a plan for a subject that they have independently selected, manage the progress, and revise the plan as necessary to accomplish the task.
