Purpose of class
Through the introduction of the research in each laboratory, students will obtain an overview of the research fields within the Computer Science and Engineering Course.
Through the “Pre-Seminar for Graduation Research”, students will study the research areas that they find interesting, preparing themselves for the graduation research.
Course description
This course serves as an introduction to graduation research beginning in the third year. It consists of two components: the introduction of the research in each laboratory within the Computer Science and Engineering Course, and the “Pre-Seminar for Graduation Research.” In the Pre-Seminar sessions, students attend lectures, exercises, experiments, or investigative assignments related to each instructor’s area of expertise, research themes, or the foundational fields that support them.
After attending the research introduction sessions from all instructors, each student selects four Pre-Seminar sessions of personal interest and completes the assigned tasks. These sessions provide an opportunity to learn about graduation research themes and the atmosphere of each laboratory.
Goals and objectives
  1. Students will be exposed to a wide range of research themes and will be able to explain the field of the computer science and engineering.
  2. They will learn how to independently investigate research topics of interest.
  3. They will understand the content of the graduation research and be able to conduct a preliminary study for the research.
