Curriculum Policy of Department of Computer and Information Sciences (Master's Program)
① Curriculum composition policy
The following three types of subjects are available to enable students to take the initiative in promoting research and development and to cultivate interdisciplinary and international perspectives.
(1) Lecture-based courses: Courses aimed at acquiring the advanced specialized knowledge required to become an information technology expert. (Perspectives A and D)
(2) Laboratory-based subjects: Subjects aimed at cultivating the creativity to devise original systems based on advanced specialized knowledge, the design and implementation skills to build and operate systems, the problem-solving skills to analyze results and deal with them appropriately, and the presentation skills required for advanced specialized engineers. (Perspectives B, C, D)
(3) A wide variety of courses taught by Faculty Member from both within and outside the university: Courses aimed at acquiring knowledge and cultivating communication skills to collaborate with a variety of people in diverse environments, transcending the boundaries of countries and fields of expertise. (Perspective D)
② Policies regarding the content and implementation of education
(1) Lecture-based courses: These courses are designed to solidify the fundamentals of information science and engineering, while also clearly showing connections to cutting-edge research and technology. Although lectures are the main focus, they go beyond mere classroom learning and provide students with opportunities to think, get their hands dirty, and make presentations. (Perspectives A and D)
(2) Laboratory-based subjects: These are conducted in the course of research activities such as experiments, seminars, and roundtable discussions in each laboratory under the guidance of Supervisor. (Points B, C, and D)
(3) Diverse courses taught by Faculty Member from both within and outside the university: Courses will be taught by a wide variety of Faculty Member from both within and outside the university, and will be conducted in a variety of formats, such as lectures, practical training, and presentations, depending on the content. (Perspective D)
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.
