Graduate School of Engineering Diploma Policy
The mission of the Graduate School of Engineering of Waseda University is to "create new knowledge that will change the world." In order to create new knowledge that will change the world, it is important to acquire "identity (autonomy, independence, and expertise)" and "diversity (diversity, collaboration, and interdisciplinarity)" and to continue to challenge ourselves to the sustainable development and problem-solving of the complex and diverse modern society.
Therefore, upon completion of the master's program, a master's degree (engineering or academic) is conferred on the basis that the student has been enrolled for the prescribed number of years, received research guidance, earned the prescribed number of credits, passed the master's thesis review and final examination, and achieved the following points that integrate the nine items specified by the entire university.
(A) Possess basic knowledge and ethics in the natural sciences appropriate for a master's degree in engineering.
(B) To acquire knowledge that can be used for cutting-edge research and technological development in one's own field of specialization.
(C) To acquire the ability to set and solve problems and practical skills to undertake highly original research in their respective specialized fields, as well as the multifaceted thinking and leadership skills necessary to carry out research and development that contributes to sustainable solving of problems through cooperation and collaboration with others from a mission-oriented standpoint.
(D) The ability to present research results among experts, the ability to communicate accurately, and the level of language proficiency necessary to disseminate information to the world in order to play an active role internationally.
Graduate School of Engineering Curriculum Policy (Master's Program)
(1) Curriculum Formulation Policy
Graduate School of Engineering In order to acquire the abilities listed in the Diploma Policy, the Master's Program is designed to establish specialization under the name of the major or academic field that is easy to understand, and to cultivate interdisciplinarity to survive in an increasingly diverse society. In addition to lecture-based courses to acquire knowledge, seminar courses are provided to acquire research and practical skills, as well as practical courses such as "Special Experiments" and "Special Research" to cultivate research skills. In addition, we will conduct practical activities outside and on campus, and offer internship courses to acquire interdisciplinarity.
(2) Policy on the content of education and the method of implementation of education
The courses studied in two years consist of "specialized subjects," "common subjects," and "interdisciplinary courses" depending on the major.
In specialized subjects, the courses required for each major are arranged in order to acquire the abilities of items (A), (B), and (C) specified in the Graduate School of Engineering Diploma Policy. Among the specialized subjects, lecture courses for acquiring knowledge are designed to acquire the basics of natural science, which is the foundation of the specialization of each department corresponding to item (A), and the knowledge that can be used for cutting-edge technology and research in each field corresponding to item (B), based on what is learned at the undergraduate level. At the same time, practical training and laboratory courses are provided to cultivate problem-setting and problem-solving skills and practical skills to undertake highly original research corresponding to item (C). Common courses are offered so that students can take them each year in order to acquire the ability to meet the abilities of item (D) stipulated in the Graduate School of Engineering Diploma Policy. In particular, students will acquire the ability to communicate accurately with overseas experts by arranging courses to improve their English proficiency and having them widely disseminate their research results both domestically and internationally.
In the seminar courses included in interdisciplinary courses and specialized courses, in order to acquire the abilities of items (B), (C), and (D) stipulated in the Diploma Policy (Graduate School of Engineering), deepen the knowledge related to the specialization of each major according to the purpose of the major through practical activities outside the university and on campus, and come into contact with the research of others. Enhance multifaceted thinking and communication skills through opportunities for discussion.
③ Policy regarding methods for evaluating learning outcomes
In order to develop engineers and researchers who have acquired the skills stipulated in the diploma policy, students are graded by exams and reports for lectures, and by reports and oral exams for experiments, practical training, and exercises. Course grades are expressed in five grades: S, A, B, C, and D, with S, A, B, and C being passes and D being a fail. Students who pass are awarded the designated number of credits. In addition, for dissertations, the examination criteria and methods are clearly stated, and the dissertation examination and final examination are conducted rigorously by the Dissertation Examination Committee based on theses.
