Undergraduate Thesis Research 3

　　The objective of Comprehensive Research is to cultivate problem-solving skills by encouraging students to independently identify challenges in society and science toward achieving a sustainable society. Students will engage in research activities that utilize specialized knowledge and techniques in science and engineering from a holistic and interdisciplinary perspective.
　　In Undergraduate Thesis Research 3, students objectively verify their mastery of the foundational research skills acquired in Research 1 and 2. Furthermore, they clearly establish a research theme aimed at solving social issues and advancing science that supports social infrastructure.

　　In Undergraduate Thesis Research 3, under the guidance of a faculty advisor, students formulate research policies, plans, and methodologies tailored to their specific research themes and engage in practical research activities from an interdisciplinary perspective. Students conduct their research activities systematically while sharing progress with their advisor and laboratory members.

1. [Problem Identification and Understanding of Social Significance]
   Cleary define a specific research theme toward the realization of a sustainable society or the advancement of science supporting social infrastructure, and logically explain its academic value and potential for social contribution from a professional and systems perspective.
2. [Ability to Survey and Analyze Existing Research]
   Extensively collect the latest academic papers and advanced technical information related to the research theme, critically analyze the uniqueness and superiority of their own research relative to existing knowledge, and accurately present the theoretical basis of the study.
3. [Formulation of Research Plans and Methodological Selection]
   Highly concretize practical research policies and methods according to research objectives, and proactively execute research activities through discussions with faculty advisors and laboratory members while appropriately modifying plans in response to unexpected challenges or data variations.
4. [Logical Writing and Presentation Skills]
   Construct logical and objective documents (such as interim reports) summarizing research progress and intermediate results. Additionally, deliver persuasive presentations both within and outside the laboratory and further deepen their knowledge through interdisciplinary discussions.
5. [Autonomous Career Development Skills]
   Based on the spirit of ”Practical Science” (Jitsugaku), adhere to high research ethics and autonomously develop research activities with an awareness of being a science and engineering professional who supports society, clearly linking current research activities with their future career paths.

Grades will be determined based on a weighting of the following criteria:
① Problem Identification and Understanding of Social Significance (20%)
② Ability to Survey and Analyze Existing Research (20%)
③ Formulation of Research Plans and Methodological Selection (20%)
④ Logical Writing and Presentation Skills (20%)
⑤ Autonomous Career Development Skills (20%)
Note: A rubric (5-point scale) will be applied to the above five items. A passing grade of “60 points (on a 100-point scale)” will be awarded to students who obtain an average score of 3 or higher across all five items.
