Interim presentations are conducted twice a year to give opportunities to TokyoTech graduating students to exhibit their respective research topics, report on their progress and seek comments and recommendations from faculties and other students to further improve their research study. The first interim presentations for master students this year was held last February 18, 2013 at the Ishikawadai Building 4. There were seven (7) students who presented abstracts of their research in a traditional poster format. Faculties, other students from the Department of International Development Engineering (IDE) and visiting Professor Tsung-Sheng Chang from the National Dong Hwa University of Taiwan participated in the event by providing their invaluable insights and recommendations.
