In order to execute the above policies, the Graduate School of Engineering offers Common Subjects,
and each department offers Major Basic Subjects, Major General Subjects, and Related Subjects. The
overall educational curriculum is presented in the curriculum map. The Major Basic Subjects are mainly
provided in lecture-based courses. The Major General Subjects include lectures, seminars, and theMaster Course Seminar etc. The subjects in lecture-based courses are provided for the purpose of
acquiring a wide range of basic knowledge and advanced specialized knowledge in each major. A syllabus
is prepared for each subject to clearly state the educational content, achievement methods, guidelines for
self-study, etc. Seminar courses are provided to develop the students' ability to understand the research
field from a diversified viewpoint, and research skills through presentations and discussions on thelatest technologies or their own research results. The Master Course Seminar is provided to foster theability to conduct and develop advanced research and language skills through individual research andwriting a master thesis.
In the subjects provided in lecture-based courses, the faculty members in charge of the lecture will assess thestudent’s basic knowledge, basic academic skill, specialized knowledge, etc. with regular examinations, reports,
etc. Details of the grading method are described in the syllabus for each subject. In the seminars, department
faculty members assess the student’s ability to understand academic papers and technical materials throughpresentations and discussions. In the Master Course Seminar, the academic advisor will assess the student
through their ability to develop and conduct their own research with original ideas, present and discuss researchcontent at academic conferences, present in a foreign language, provide technical guidance, write academic
reports, etc., based on research activities in the laboratory, give presentations at domestic and international
conferences, and through their master thesis and its defense.
