Field based Learning/Problem based Learning (FBL/PBL) L1

Numbering Code G-ENG56 8X477 PJ18 Year/Term 2022 ・ Intensive, First semester
Number of Credits 2 Course Type Practical training
Target Year Target Student
Language Japanese Day/Period Intensive
Instructor name KANKEI KYOIN (Graduate School of Engineering)
Outline and Purpose of the Course Through FBL (Field-based Learning), students of this course will experience the process of discovering problems to be solved from given real-world situations in teams, acquire design theory and design methods, and through PBL (Problem-based Learning), learn design theory and design methods by experiencing the process of solving a given practical problem in teams.

The objectives of this course are as follows.
In FBL, to (1) observe and analyze a given real-world situation to understand the structure of the situation and discover the root cause of the problem to be solved; (2) acquire the design theory necessary for discovering the problem, (3) learn the design methods necessary to discover the problem and practice them in the project, and (4) define a realistically solvable problem.
In PBL: to (1) acquire the design theory necessary for problem-solving; (2) acquire the design methods required for problem-solving and implement them in projects; and (3) formulate feasible solutions.
Course Goals ・Using the design theory and design techniques that they have learned to identify real problems in society, define them as solvable problems, and formulate feasible solutions.
・Communicating fluently with members from different fields of expertise, sharing problems and working together to solve them.
・Understanding their role in response to the needs of society and within the team. Effectively communicate the contents of the team's work to third parties both inside and outside the university.
Schedule and Contents Introduction, 1 Class
The outline of this exercise and how to proceed with the project will be explained. We will also address the handling of intellectual property.
FBL/PBL Practice (13 Classes)
FBL/PBL conducted for each project. There will be weekly, discrete, intensive, or other forms of implementation based on the individual project, which should be conducted accordingly.
Presentations, 1 Class
Presentation of the results for each project.
Evaluation Methods and Policy This course aims to acquire design theories and design methods by practicing design through FBL (Field-based Learning)/PBL (Problem-based Learning).
・Acquisition of methods for discovering and solving problems 50% (based on reports and exams)
・Quality of problem discovery and solution 20% (based on reports and exams)
・Contribution to teams: 30% (by faculty observation)
・Attendance of over 80% is a prerequisite for credit (based on attendance verification)
Course Requirements None in particular. However, students are expected to have analytical and problem-solving abilities in their own specialized fields.
Since specific course plans (programs) vary every year, details will be posted on PandA under "Field-Based Learning/ Problem-Based Learning (FBL/PBL) L" as needed. Please coordinate with these schedules and set up your course schedule with the faculty member supervising the program's implementation.
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) The supervisor of each project will give instructions as appropriate. A mid-term presentation will be held in the middle of the semester to provide an opportunity for students to share information and get feedback from others. In principle, all participants are required to attend the mid-term presentation.
