This is a medium to long-term internship at a company. Students will be placed at the site of company activities focused on R&D activities, and by taking charge of the same work as a corporate employee, students will gain an understanding of approaches to corporate initiatives, ethical values, and work flow. It is generally for 3 months, but this can be adjusted if there is a conflict with research activities. For the process of finding a company for the internship, the coordinator of the institution will support students in coordinating conditions with the company, with the contract, etc. As far as expenses go, the commuting expenses and accommodation expenses will be coordinated with the company with support from the coordinator, such that the burden doesn't fall on the student.
Be able to understand the reality, thought processes, values, and behavioral patterns in companies, and recognize the differences with universities.
