Graduate School of Engineering (Master's Program) Curriculum Policy

Muroran Institute of Technology Graduate School of Engineering has developed a curriculum for its Master's program based on the following policies with the aim of nurturing talented individuals who have acquired the skills outlined in the diploma policy.

1. Curriculum composition

Expertise and development capabilities
By providing core subjects in specialized fields as well as advanced subjects, we impart world-class, advanced specialized knowledge, and through seminars and special research, we foster problem-finding and problem-solving skills.
Resilience and perspective
By taking courses in other courses, courses common to the entire university, and courses that teach specialized information and data processing technology, students will develop the ability to find solutions to a wide range of problems from a broad perspective.
Social and communication skills
We impart a rich culture and communication skills through subjects offered to all students at the university, and foster collaboration and autonomy through seminars and special research.

2. Assessment of learning outcomes

(1) Evaluation method

In order to evaluate the degree of achievement of the learning objectives for each course, the teacher in charge of the course will conduct a multifaceted evaluation that takes into account the characteristics of the course.

Curriculum Policy	Evaluation method
1) Expertise and development capabilities By providing core subjects in specialized fields as well as advanced subjects, we impart world-class, advanced specialized knowledge, and through seminars and special research, we foster problem-finding and problem-solving skills.	For lectures and seminars, students will be evaluated based on written exams, reports, works, and presentations. For experimental and practical subjects, evaluation will be based on reports, presentations and practical skills. Depending on the course, quizzes and midterm exams may be used for evaluation in order to achieve a multifaceted assessment. For seminars and special research, evaluation will be based on activities, papers, and presentations.
2) Resilience and perspective By taking courses in other courses, courses common to the entire university, and courses that teach specialized information and data processing technology, students will develop the ability to find solutions to a wide range of problems from a broad perspective.
3) Social and communication skills We impart a rich culture and communication skills through subjects offered to all students at the university, and foster collaboration and independence through seminars and special research.

(2) Clear indication of grading method

The grading method for each course will be clearly stated in the syllabus.

(3) Grading criteria (for students enrolled in FY2019 and after)

Points Score (Scored on a 100-point scale)	Review	evaluation		GP (Score)
Points Score (Scored on a 100-point scale)	Review	Achievement Level	Pass/fail decision	GP (Score)
80 to 100 points	A	Achieved the goal sufficiently and was excellent.	Pass	4
70 to 79 points	B	The achievement targets have been largely achieved.		3
60 to 69 points	C	Achieve minimum attainment goals		2
59 points or less	D	Attainment targets not met	Failed	0

(4) GPA (average grade point average) <For students enrolled in FY2019 and after>

In addition to the three-level grading system for passing, grades will be converted into a score (GP) as described above, which will be used by students to confirm their own progress in achieving their learning outcomes and as reference data for rankings by the graduate school.

(5) Disclosure of Grade Information (For students enrolled in FY2019 and after)

The academic affairs system will be used to disclose to students grades and GP for each course, GPA for each semester, and cumulative GPA, allowing them to check these themselves.

(6) Review of evaluation

The results of the grade evaluation will be regularly reviewed by the Education System Committee using the distribution of grades, etc., and improvements will be made to teaching methods, etc., if necessary.
