Course description and aims

This course will be done in Japanese language, so that it requires the Japanese ability of a daily conversation level. This course is designed for doctoral students to acquire basic ways and various viewpoints for thinking about his/her career. Students aiming at industrial positions and those at academia positions need the common and respective preparations. However, the chance to touch the reality in industry is much less than that in academia. Thus, this course is effective in learning about the reality in both industry and academic. Then, this course discusses some issues related to technology management and human resource management in a broad sense. Through this course, a relationship among your own quality, ability, and interest will be learned.
