　　Curriculum organization policy

　The five-and-a-half-year learning phase is broadly divided into two: the "Basic Phase" and the "Applied Phase." Each phase includes a "table-top course" with on-campus learning and practical training, and a "practical course" with on-board training on a large training ship. After assessing their aptitude in the basic phase, students select either the "Navigation Course" or the "Engineering Course." In the applied phase, students will study specialized subjects in each course and undergo long-term on-board training on a large training ship, promoting practical and wide-ranging learning.

1. 1. Specialized education: Basic phase (curriculum conceptual diagram XNUMXst and XNUMXnd grade)

      In the first year, students study "Introduction to Navigation," "Introduction to Engines," "Marine Engineering Training," "Training Ship Training 1," and other courses as the foundation for specialized subjects. Through these courses, students learn the basics of merchant ships and maritime engineers, and the work of navigators and engineers, and finally choose their own course. In the final month of the second year, students have a one-month "training course" on a large training ship.

   2. Specialized education: Applied phase (curriculum conceptual diagram, XNUMXrd, XNUMXth, XNUMXth, XNUMXth grade)
      From the third year onwards, there are more specialized classes divided into navigation and engineering courses, and students learn content that is directly related to their future career paths. In the graduation research in the fifth year, students learn how to solve problems and issues on their own and communicate them to others. The "practical course" is held for five months in the second semester of the fourth year and the first semester of the sixth year, and students acquire the practical skills necessary for sailors.
   3. International education (internationalization program)
      We place emphasis on acquiring English skills and provide classes that are aligned with clear goals for each grade. We also incorporate listening and speaking as communication skills into classes. We also provide many opportunities for short-term study abroad programs and accept students from overseas.
   4. Liberal arts education (basic academic ability training education / career education)
      A wide variety of liberal arts courses are offered to allow students to acquire a wide range of knowledge. By learning from a variety of perspectives as part of their liberal arts education, students are not only aware of the relationship with the maritime field, but also acquire a source of creativity and a wide range of social skills.
   5. Extracurricular activities
      In addition to studying on campus, the Department of Maritime Studies offers sailing on the school's training ship and practical training on a large training ship. By interacting with people outside the school, students can improve their communication skills and improve their practical skills on the large training ship.

(Evaluation method of learning results)
Learning outcomes are assessed comprehensively for each subject using exams, quizzes, reports, etc., based on the evaluation methods shown in the syllabus. Exams are written exams. However, depending on the nature of the subject, written exams may be substituted with practical skills, works, reports, papers, etc., or with an oral exam. Grades are assessed on a 100-point scale, with credits awarded for scores of 60 or above. Academic grades are determined based on the following table. However, subjects that cannot be graded on a 100-point scale will be graded as pass/fail, with the grades being pass/fail.

　　Curriculum organization policy

　The five-year study phase is roughly divided into three phases: "startup", "basic phase", and "applied phase". In "startup", students understand the outline of studying in the Department of Information and Mechanical Systems Engineering and develop their logical thinking ability. In the "basic phase", we will touch on the technical elements that form a common foundation through hands-on training. In the "application phase" of the XNUMXth and XNUMXth grades, one field should be selected from the "specialty unit" as the field of study that oneself specializes in, and the "intentional unit" should be selected according to the type of job to be employed in the future. So, we will provide a tailor-made curriculum according to each individual's individuality.

On the other hand, we have implemented a mixed-type community collaboration PBL program for students in grades 1 to 5, which allows them to gain experience in the skills and behavior they need to achieve in their respective positions and encourages their growth.

1. 1.  Professional education: Startup (curriculum conceptual diagram XNUMXst grade)
      In the first grade, we will develop the basics of logical thinking ability through "programming". "Engineering literacy" aims to develop various tools used in engineering and basic communication skills.In addition, in the "Introduction to the Department", examples of efforts in the department and research contents of faculty members will be introduced in an omnibus format to deepen the understanding of the department.In the second half, we will practice the method of digital fabrication using XNUMXD CAD and XNUMXD printer in "Mechanical Engineering Basics". Experience the cooperation with machinery and electricity through programming with a microcomputer in "Information Engineering Basics". In "Basics of Electrical and Electronic Engineering", you will learn the basics of elements and sensors as the basics of electricity to connect information and machines.These three subjects will be used as common teaching materials, and each cooperation will be systematically studied.
   2. Specialized education: Basic phase (curriculum conceptual diagram XNUMXnd and XNUMXrd grade)
      In the second and third grades, specialized education will be provided by interweaving lectures and exercises on "information engineering," "electrical and electronic engineering," and "mechanical engineering," which are common foundations.In the field of information engineering, students will learn about programming and networks, in the field of electrical and electronic engineering, they will learn about electric circuits and electronic circuits, and in mechanical engineering, they will learn about industrial mechanics, materials science, and processing methods.In addition, by studying microcomputer engineering and measurement engineering as a fusion area of ​​these, it is possible to understand the cooperation of each basic field.
   3. Specialized education: Applied phase (curriculum conceptual diagram XNUMXth and XNUMXth grade)
      In the XNUMXth and XNUMXth grades, subjects in the fields of information engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, mechanical engineering and their fusion / complex fields are arranged, and the fields that the students themselves should aim for are set as specialized units and become the base of occupations. The curriculum is made-to-order by arranging intentional units and selecting according to individuality.
      In the XNUMXth grade graduation research, students will work on solving problems by making full use of the knowledge and skills they have learned so far, and will be able to convey their achievements to others through oral presentations and writing treatises.
   4. PBL (Curriculum Conceptual Diagram Regional Cooperation PBL)
      At PBL, not only the input of knowledge and technology within the university, but also the deepening of understanding and the establishment of knowledge and technology through the output through practice.Therefore, we are focusing on activities in collaboration with local companies and society, and listing in off-campus contests.It also encourages participation in hands-on experience through internships.
      From the XNUMXst grade, join a mixed PBL group with senior students and clarify their own path.
      In the second and third years, students will be primarily responsible for creating systems that can be realized by combining basic technical elements, which will serve as a basis for considering what curriculum they will choose in the fourth and fifth years.
      In the XNUMXth grade PBL, leadership and independence are fostered by tackling issues as a leadership position for the lower grades. In the XNUMXth grade PBL, while objectively checking the progress of the project, we will show the direction and participate in a standing position to make up for the shortage.
   5. International Education (Curriculum Conceptual Diagram International Exchange Program)
      With an emphasis on English, classes are conducted according to clear goals for each grade. Regarding teaching methods, instead of the traditional reading and writing style that only involves copying what is written on the board, emphasis is placed on listening and speaking as communication skills. In addition, there are many short-term study abroad events in Hawaii, Singapore, etc., and there are also opportunities for collaborative learning with students from overseas.
   6. Liberal arts education (curriculum conceptual diagram basic academic ability training education / career education)
      Various liberal arts courses are set up to acquire the wisdom of various human beings in the world.Not only being aware of the relationship with engineering, but also learning many different perspectives as a culture, instilling many opportunities for creation within oneself.
      In addition, we will provide opportunities to practice our future career design from an early stage and to think about how to live our lives not only while in school but also in the real world.
