This practicum aims to help students acquire the following competencies required to work as internationally active engineers
in environments where the common language is not Japanese:
･The ability to communicate information and opinions to others
･The ability to understand information and opinions expressed by others
･The ability to solve problems related to electronic engineering
These abilities will be developed through an advanced, problem‑solving practicum conducted together with international students at overseas universities.
･The ability to communicate information and opinions to others
･The ability to understand information and opinions expressed by others
･The ability to solve problems related to electronic engineering
These abilities will be developed through an advanced, problem‑solving practicum conducted together with international students at overseas universities.
In this practicum, students will cultivate essential qualities required of international engineers through the development
and control of a line‑tracing robot, and participation in an advanced problem‑solving practicum conducted with international
students at overseas partner universities.
These qualities include: the ability to communicate information and opinions to others, the ability to understand information and opinions expressed by others, and the ability to solve advanced problems in electronic engineering.
The practicum period will be approximately two weeks. Prior to participation, students must build a line‑tracing robot and implement control so that it can complete the assigned course. Practicum sessions (1)–(10) in the course schedule focus on functional enhancements of the line‑tracing robot to develop advanced problem‑solving skills. On the final day, students will give presentations on the outcomes of the advanced problem‑solving practicum.
During the practicum period, students must keep a daily practicum journal, and after completion, must submit a final report summarizing what they have learned and experienced.
