1.   International Energy Seminars I, II, III, IV, V,and VI (Group Research included; 2 units each, accreditation: 4 mandatory units, up to 8 units with electives)

@@@ This course trains and nurtures students to adopt ways of thinking and approaches that are both comprehensive and international in scope.

 

2. Research with emphasis on State-of-the-Art I and II (1 unit each, accreditation requiring both units)

This course trains students to develop creativity and self-reliance.

 

3. Field Practice I and II (1 unit each, accreditation requiring both units)

Through this unit, students learn how to handle problems hands-on through detachment at sites such as nuclear power stations where relations with the community are tense.

 

4. Publication of Research I, II, III (1 unit each, accreditation: 1 mandatory unit, up to 3 units with electives)

Research presentations at academic societies and conferences

5. Overseas Studyi1 to 4 unitsj

Undertaking research and training with international organizations

6. Lectures in EnglishiSemester: 2 units; Trimester: 1 unitj

 

Students who do not complete the program receive only a certificate stating the units that they have obtained for the relevant subjects.

 

Note that the certificates recognizing either completion of the program, or the acquisition of a number of the units in the program are issued as part of the ecompletion/withdrawalf procedures described in Section II-2-b. However, neither certificate can ever be reissued.

 

2. Planning Onefs Participation in the Education Program

For each of the curricula they consider enrolling for (i.e. courses of their department/major and/or of this program), students should work out a reasonable participation plan that is within their means to meet the curriculum demands. Therefore, students are advised to study the relevant participation handbooks and understand the requirements of said curricula thoroughly.

 

Moreover, students should by all means obtain their teaching advisorfs guidance and approval before submitting their application for participation in a certain subject/unit.

 

3. Performance Evaluation

The method used to evaluate studentsf performance in each subject depends on the teaching staff in charge of the subjects concerned.

 

4. Participation Period

Students in their doctoral course: Students should submit an application form for participation in subjects that he/she wishes to take up for each semester of each academic year.

 

5. Registering for participation in this academic year

Applications for participation in the subjects available this academic year (Form 3a and Form 3b) are to be submitted as follows:

 

Receiving OfficeFGraduate School of Energy Science, Secretariatfs reception iEngineering Faculty Building2, Fl.j

 

Submission periodF

April 15 to 16, 2010iFor Semester I enrolmentsj

October 14 to 15, 2010iFor Semester II enrolmentsj

 

NB: gResearch Presentationsh and gOverseas Studiesh may occur at any time, and enrolment for those subjects is not necessary.

NB: If enrolling for International Energy Seminars I, II, students should apply for grants for "Research Expenses" mentioned in Section III-3 in April (i.e. when first enrolling for the year) for both terms: enrolment for both Seminars I and II must be done concurrently, even though attendance to each will be consecutive, with preconditions for receiving the full financial assistance provided. Enrolling for only 1 semester entitles the applicant to only half the specified amounts of said grants.

 

6. GCOE Program: Recognition of Units

Whether or not the units for which accreditation earned for the subjects that are part of this program can be recognized as counting toward the completion of the major course provided by the research department to which the student belongs rests with the decision of relevant departments. However, when such recognition can be extended in order to homologate these program units, the relevant research department requires a separate procedure of registration of the subject(s) concerned.
