Thoughts on practical Exercises
● (mathematical) It was the contents of the field exercise to handle one research theme in three weeks. Specifically, the first half was the collection of experimental data, the second half was data analysis, and the final report was made in the form of paper and presentation. Of course, although it was possible to run in three weeks, it was very significant for the first time in the data analysis and the presentation, too. I think it will take more than January if I go at my own pace at school. In that sense, the severity of the research in the enterprise was able to be felt.
● (mathematical) It was the first time that I was given a personal booth and studied alone in there, and it was the first time that I studied using English so far.Especially this…There seems to be no example of using it in the Japan, so there was no Japanese document in English from morning to night, and it is doubtful whether the mail is living in the Japan of English only.It was a kind of environment, but at the same time it was a wonderful world to be able to get information in real time while staying in Japan! and was honestly interested.
And, I think that it was the best harvest to have been able to talk variously with the member's people more than the research, and to feel the atmosphere and the environment of the research laboratories of a private enterprise by the skin, and to have obtained various information.
(System) It was a short period of three weeks, but it was the first time that I actually worked in a company, so everything I did was fresh and so much fun.Moreover, the importance of the study at the university was understood well because it was understood that the research content done in fact is the one to have developed studying at the university now.
● (System) I realized that the atmosphere of this training was really different from that of the students.Even if you actually produce something, you will still have to work on the scale of your school's homework, and there are different arrangements, meetings, and differences I think that it was able to feel it even though it was a short period of two weeks that there was a severity that it bounced off the production cost immediately if it failed.I think that this practice was very useful for the policy making in the future employment.
