Course description and aims
In today's rapidly changing society, leadership is becoming increasingly important. This is especially true in science and engineering, where creativity and innovation are required. Most science and engineering professionals work in diverse teams on research projects, and leadership is essential. In recent years, a view of leadership that leadership is not exercised by a few people with authority, but by everyone in their own way, has become mainstream. In this class, each student will explore his or her own leadership through group work, taking into account the findings of the latest leadership research, including supportive leadership, and summarize them in a final report. In addition, students will acquire communication skills such as presentation, facilitation, consensus building, and peer review, which are strongly linked to leadership, and aim to enhance their ability to collaborate, empathize, and engage in dialogue. In addition to being useful for job hunting, we hope that those who are considering an academic career will also use this course as an opportunity to acquire the skills necessary for future laboratory management and student guidance.
The aim is to acquire leadership skills to lead a team toward a goal while making the most of the abilities of fellow members.
Zoom will be used again this year. Since group work will be the main focus of the class, students must be able to connect from an environment where the camera and microphone can be turned on. Students are required to attend the first class to confirm the schedule and details.
