| 授業の概要 ／Course outline |
This graduate-level seminar focuses on developing advanced skills in academic research presentation, with an emphasis on oral and media-driven communication. Students will work in groups to conduct a bibliometric analysis on topics related to AI applications in business or smart environment. Through a series of workshops, presentations, conference participation and critiques, participants will refine their abilities to effectively communicate complex research findings, both verbally and visually. The course will also include working with UML diagrams as follow-up analysis from the bibliometric analysis. Preferred (not required) Prerequisites: Completion of foundational courses in research methods and data analysis Familiarity with AI applications in business Proficiency in creating and delivering presentations |
| 授業の目的と到達目標 ／Objectives and attainment goals |
As part of this course, students will be completing an AI-based project in your group. The group will likely have 4-5 members. Groups are to be set up during the 1st class session. The project will focus on the following tasks: Content Selection & Preparation Research with Bibliometric Analysis Schema Design with UML Diagram Presentation Design Oral Presentation Skills As part of this course, students will be actively taking part in the ETLTC-ICETM-ICES international conference with a networking assignment, poster presentation & Q&A during regular conference presentations. |

Students enrolled in the EFP course will work on different stages of a single, assigned project that spans from the beginning to the end of the course. The course instructor will predetermine the project topic and its various stages to foster students' professional development skills. The course will conclude with a final team presentation, which may be included as part of an annual ETLTC international conference. As an optional post-course activity, the course instructor may compile materials from the final presentation and other assignments into a research paper. Team members will be included as co-authors of the paper with the course instructor. Participation in the paper authorship is entirely optional and will not influence course grades. Students who choose not to participate as co-authors can opt out by submitting a simple online declaration. The final team presentation will be graded, but the final paper is not part of the course and will not be graded. |
