The aim of this course is to improve the students' critical thinking and solving skills. The students visit the other laboratories to make their research presentations to discuss with specialists in the relevant field. Also, students are encouraged to attend domestic or international conference to make their research presentations and discuss with the researchers in the relevant field.
By taking Practice Program of Topics Setup and Solution I to IV, students will gain an understanding of the trends in the Materials Science and Engineering field. Students will learn the skills to critically evaluate research, articulate and explain their own ideas.
