(D) To develop the ability to explain the significance of research results and content in a logical and easy-to-understand manner in academic papers and oral presentations, as well as to acquire the communication skills necessary to be active in an international arena, and to acquire the necessary language skills to do so.

Department of Applied Physics and Chemical Engineering Curriculum Policy

(1) Curriculum organization policy
Department of Applied Physics and Chemical Engineering (Doctoral Program) provides systematic education with the aim of developing human resources with expertise through internationally recognized cutting-edge research activities in order to acquire the competencies set forth in the Diploma Policy. We will organize a curriculum that will lead to the cultivation of interdisciplinarity to survive in an increasingly diverse society. In addition to lecture-based courses to acquire knowledge, students are mainly assigned practical courses such as seminar courses and "special planned research" to acquire research and practical skills, and the ability to carry out research is arranged. Practical activities inside and outside the university will be carried out, and internship courses will be offered to develop interdisciplinary skills. You will also develop ethics in the natural sciences and engineering through these courses.

(2) Policy on the content of education and how to implement education
The courses studied in the doctoral program consist of "specialized courses" (including seminar courses and "special planned research"), and "common courses".
In specialized subjects, the subjects necessary to acquire the competencies of [Perspectives (A), (B), (C)] stipulated in the Graduate School of Engineering Diploma Policy will be assigned. Among the specialized courses, the lecture courses for acquiring knowledge are arranged in accordance with [Perspective (B)] based on the studies taken in the undergraduate and master's programs, and the foundations of chemical engineering and physical engineering, as well as the knowledge that can be used in cutting-edge technologies and research in various fields such as the environment, energy, and new materials.
In the compulsory "Special Planned Research", students will conduct extensive and in-depth literature research in their respective fields in relation to the introduction of their doctoral dissertation (Chapter 1), compile information on cutting-edge research in the field, confirm their position in the field, and acquire the ability to explain new and original points. In the seminar courses included in specialized courses, students will be given detailed guidance for writing doctoral dissertations in small groups in order to acquire the ability to create a doctoral dissertation in small groups, and acquire the ability to set and solve problems and practical skills to take on highly original research.
In the "Special Lectures on Advanced Chemistry and Physics and Engineering" included in specialized courses, "Advanced Frontier Chemistry and Physics Engineering" included in common courses, comprehensive knowledge courses, and practical engineering courses, students will deepen their knowledge related to chemical engineering and physical engineering specialties through practical activities inside and outside the university in order to acquire the ability of [Perspectives (B), (C), (D)], 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 perspectives set out 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 levels: 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.
