Course Description

This lecture aims to learn interesting and importance of research by experiencing research activities early in the laboratory of the Department of Aerospace Engineering. This lecture is PBL (Problem-based Learning) where students can learn the actual research in the aerospace field by thinking about significance and solution method of given issues, setting resolution schedule, and solving the issues by themselves. In this lecture students will research in one desired laboratory. The content of research will be decided in advance after consultation with the teacher in the laboratory.
In the graduation research in the 4th year, it is not decided to be assigned to the laboratory where the research was conducted in this lecture.

Course Objectives

(1)Students acquire skills to solve assignments and learn how to manage schedules.
(2)Students learn the significance, depth and interesting of research.
(3)Students learn engineering knowledge in the field through problem solving.
(4)Students learn how to summarize and present results through the final results presentation.

Grading Policy

The daily report is used to confirm that students have performed at least 90 hours of research work.
The teacher in charge evaluates the grade based on the final results presentation.
