Undergraduate Thesis Research 4

　　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 4, as the culmination of the research activities cultivated through Research 1–3, students will practically address problem-solving within their major field and related specific areas from a holistic and interdisciplinary viewpoint. Students are expected to maintain an ethical perspective as professionals contributing to society, remain conscious of their social responsibilities, and produce a research paper (including design) that is clear and accessible to third parties.

　　In Undergraduate Thesis Research 4, students will engage in practical problem-solving based on holistic and interdisciplinary perspectives. Furthermore, the course aims to improve comprehensive communication skills to ensure that research outcomes are conveyed accurately, reliably, and attractively.

1. [Problem Solving and Verification of Social Contribution]
   Address identified research tasks using specialized knowledge and techniques in science and engineering, and reflect on how the results contribute to the realization of a sustainable society or the advancement of science and technology.
2. [Integration of Information and Scholarly/Technical Evaluation]
   Systematically organize and integrate the information collected thus far, and logically explain the objective significance and utility of their research findings in comparison with existing knowledge.
3. [Planned Execution Based on Systems Thinking]
   Maintain an overview of the entire research process, address progress or unexpected challenges appropriately using systems thinking, and proactively advance and complete the research activities according to the plan.
4. [Logical Information Dissemination and Communication]
   Summarize research results into a graduation thesis (including design) that is accurately described with a logical structure, and communicate their ideas to others clearly and effectively during presentations and Q＆A sessions.
5. [Autonomous Career Development Based on Professional Ethics]
   Conduct research with integrity and high ethical standards as an engineer or researcher, proactively link their four-year learning outcomes with their future career paths, and act independently with a strong commitment to social contribution.

Grades will be determined based on a weighting of the following criteria:
① Problem Solving and Verification of Social Contribution (20%)
② Integration of Information and Scholarly/Technical Evaluation (20%)
③ Planned Execution Based on Systems Thinking (20%)
④ Logical Information Dissemination and Communication (20%)
⑤ Autonomous Career Development Based on Professional Ethics (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.
