Graduation Thesis 2

This course aims to enhance the fundamental knowledge and essential skills required to conduct the research covered in Graduation Thesis 1. Additionally, it aims to enable students to effectively communicate the results obtained from their research activities through oral presentations.

In Graduation Thesis 2, students continue their research activities on specific themes related to mechanical engineering in order to deepen the fundamental knowledge and problem-solving skills acquired in Graduation Thesis 1. In some cases, the same themes from Graduation Thesis 1 may be pursued, while in others, different themes are explored. Students will also develop communication skills to effectively summarize their research findings, both from Graduation Thesis 1 and Graduation Thesis 2, and to convey these results to others through written documents and presentations.

1. Students can communicate their opinion and explanation of the research result etc. Also, they can understand other person’s comments or questions, and discuss with professors and other students.
2. Student can work cooperatively with others in the process of problem solving.
3. Students can understand the background of the problem, clarify the research purpose and focus the research subjects.
4. Students can utilize their expert knowledge, combine the appropriate experiments and analytical methods, and propose how to solve the problem.
5. Students can examine solutions to problems by improving experimental methods, equipment, and programs, and by analyzing the results of experiments and analyses.
6. Students can manage their research plan and perform by the deadline.
   Students acquire the skill for the topics and how to survey the information or the knowledge by using the Internet, etc.. Students have to learn continuously and autonomously.
