Course Description

This course deals with extensive activities in the laboratory as follows:
・Literature reviewing.
・Setting the research theme appropriately according to the literature reviewing.
・Designing the research project.
・Promoting voluntary and continuous research activities.
・Obtaining techniques and skills to solve the problems.
・Seminars to enhance knowledge necessary for the research activities.
・Summarizing the research results.
・Preparing the presentation of the research results.
Three presentation conferences (progress of the research project, interim, and final) will be held by oral presentation.
The research results will be summarized for a graduation thesis.

This course aims to obtain the following abilities DP2, DP4C, DP4M, and DP4E described in the diploma policies of the department of Information and Electronic Engineering through the extensive activities in the laboratory.

Course Objectives

According to the diploma policies of the department, students will be able to obtain the research process, the research techniques, and voluntary and continuous studying abilities through the extensive activities in the laboratory.
In the presentation conference for the progress of the research project, students will obtain oral presentation techniques and manners of the audience.
In the interim presentation conference, students will obtain oral presentation methods for the research results and manners of the audience.
In the final presentation conference, students will obtain oral presentation techniques for the research results and communication skills in a presentation conference.
By writing graduation thesis, students will obtain the abilities to organize the research results and to compose the logical writings.
According to the above, students will obtain the following aims in the study objectives to attain of the course of information science in the department of Information and Electronic Engineering:
(2-4) Ability of oral presentation uncomplicatedly.
(2-5) Ability to compose technical writings following the rules.
