Training program to develop research awareness
Objectives
The objective of the program is to make the most of the wide range of research fields offered throughout academia to foster students who have diverse research abilities and expand research perspectives.
Contents
Students will attend research labs outside of their specialized fields and/or seminars taking place at the school's research center for about 3 months for exposure to advanced research and technology involving Life Science and Systems Engineering outside of their specialty. The lectures, seminars and research packages offered are as shown below. Depending on the package selected, students will be asked to conduct simple practical work in addition to attending the seminar.
