環境・エネルギー研究科/WEEE
5/12

In addition to the research instructions and seminars that are provided by each faculty to allow students to acquire basic knowledge and applied skills in the disciplines of engineering or social sciences and humanities (Arts), WEEE offers an array of courses that are co-instructed by faculty from different specialist fields. These include cross-disciplinary practical programs developed based on the Project Based Learning (PBL) approach. First-year master’s students will receive hands-on education on research thesis development skills and opportunities to develop their own multi-faceted research themes. As an extension of our PBL-based practical programs, the curriculum also includes community-based exercises conducted by groups. The lecture courses consist of core courses provided by WEEE faculty and recommended courses, including joint courses that are co-organized with other graduate schools. These courses are structured to allow students to acquire a broad spectrum of specialist knowledge in the field of environment and energy in a systematic manner. Students may select courses according to their areas of specialty in engineering or social sciences and humanities (Arts) (Learning Outcome 1), but the Research Ethics course is mandatory. To help second-year master’s students produce more sophisticated research content for their master’s theses, a joint instruction system is adopted with the aim of providing seminar courses that are co-instructed by more than one faculty member (Learning Outcome 2) to help students develop their theses (Learning Outcome 4). Furthermore, WEEE provides a program for both master’s and doctoral students that grants them certification as an International Environmental Leader upon completion of certain courses, such as international environmental laws and regulations and environmental business, or through research and studies conducted in Japan or overseas (Learning Outcome 3). Although doctoral students are not required to enroll in any courses, they may enroll in master’s courses as necessary. In doctoral programs, students proactively publish their academic papers at academic conferences as well as in Japanese or overseas journals and then consolidate the results into doctoral dissertations under research guidance (Learning Outcome 5).Under its educational philosophy of Academic Independence, Waseda Uni-versity welcomes many domestic and international students who have strong basic academic skills, intellectual curiosity, and an Enterprising Spirit, which is one of the University's educational principles, and are highly moti-vated for learning. Aiming to promote research and education based on a cross-disciplinary approach and international mindedness, WEEE accepts human resources from a wide variety of backgrounds, such as both arts and sciences, as well as adult and international students. Master's students are admitted through recommendation from among Waseda University students and via the following examinations: the General Entrance Examination (in which applicants are screened through special-ized subject examinations and interviews), the Admission Office Entrance Examination (in which applicants are screened through oral examinations and presentations) and the Special Entrance Examination for International Students, which is held for partner institutions. In the General Entrance Examination, applicants are screened based on their levels of mastery of specialized subject knowledge and research plans. In the Admission Office Entrance Examination, applicants are screened through comprehensive evaluation of their undergraduate study results (irrespective of disciplines), such as their graduation theses, motivation for research in WEEE, research planning skills and other relevant aspects. One requirement for internation-al applicants is that they must be able to communicate smoothly in Japa-nese. To be admitted to doctoral courses, applicants are required to pass the same types of entrance examinations as for master's courses, to have the abilities required to earn a doctoral degree, and to have a broad spectrum of advanced expertise, experience, theory and motivation in the field of envi-ronment and energy. In particular, examiners place special emphasis on their past research results, such as presentations at academic conferences and articles published in academic journals.Admission Policy4 工学および社会・人文科学(学術)の基礎知識と応用力を習得する教員個別の研究指導や演習に加え、専門分野の異なる教員共同での科目を多数設置している。このなかでは、修士課程1年次には研究論文作成の手法を体験的に学習するプログラムや自らの研究テーマを多面的・多角的に発展させる授業、さらにはグループでの地域密着型の演習など、学問領域統合型のPBL(Project Based Learning)による実践的プログラム等を設置している。講義科目は、環境・エネルギー研究科の教員によるコア科目、他研究科との合併科目授業を含む推奨科目を配置しており、多岐にわたる環境・エネルギー分野の専門的な知識を体系的に習得できる構成としている。工学もしくは社会・人文科学(学術)の専門分野に応じて、履修科目を選択することができる(学修成果1)。また、研究倫理概論を必修としている。修士課程2年次には、修士論文における研究内容の高度化を目指し、複数の教員の共同指導による演習科目(学修成果2)を設置し、修士論文の取りまとめを行う(学修成果4)。加えて修士課程および博士後期課程に、国内外での研修・調査の実施や国際的な環境法制・環境ビジネス等の科目の履修によって、国際環境リーダーの資格取得が可能なコースも設けている(学修成果3)。博士後期課程の学生は、科目履修を必須としないが必要に応じて修士課程の設置科目を履修することができる。研究指導に基づき、国内外の学会・学術誌への論文発表を積極的に行い、その成果を博士論文として取りまとめる(学修成果5)。教育課程の編成・実施の方針(カリキュラム・ポリシー)Curriculum Policy入学者受入に関する方針(アドミッション・ポリシー) 早稲田大学では、『学問の独立』の教育理念のもとで、一定の高い基礎学力を持ち、かつ知的好奇心が旺盛で、本学の理念である進取の精神に富む、勉学意欲の高い学生を、わが国をはじめ世界から多数迎え入れる。 環境・エネルギー研究科では、学門領域統合型アプローチでの研究教育と国際的視点の涵養を目指しており、理系ならびに文系、社会人、留学生等、さまざまな経歴の人材を受け入れている。 修士課程においては、早稲田大学内の学生を対象とした推薦入試、専門科目・面接により選考を行う一般入試、口頭試問およびプレゼンテーションにより選考を行うAO入試、協定校との外国人特別選考を実施する。一般入試においては、専門科目の知識習得度および研究計画によって選抜を行う。AO入試においては、学士課程における卒業論文等の成果(分野は問わない)や当研究科における研究への意欲、研究計画能力等を総合的に評価する。留学生にあたっては、日本語における円滑なコミュニケーションができることを条件としている。博士後期課程においては、修士課程と同様の入試制度を踏襲し、博士号習得に必要な能力を備え、多岐にわたる環境・エネルギー分野における高い専門性、経験、理論、意欲を有することが求められる。とりわけ、学会・論文等の研究業績を評価の対象としている。
