This course forms a central part of Tokyo Tech’s laboratory-based education where individual students work on a specific research theme. It has a complementary relationship with coursework based on a structured curriculum. By carrying out research, it is expected that the student will increase knowledge in his/her field and that he/she will acquire comprehensive skills to identify and develop solutions that will solve new and unsolved problems.
By the end of this course, the student will be able to:
1) Apply knowledge of Industrial Engineering and Economics to solve problems related to the field
2) Study the fundamentals of fields other than Industrial Engineering and Economics independently to solve problems
3) Understand the requirements from the society in the problems of Industrial Engineering and Economics, to locate the problems in the right place and to find the solutions.
4) Ability of logical thinking, and clear discussion and documentation.
5) Ability as an independent expert with sufficient communication skills.
