Wave lab. (campus map S8-4)

The Estuarine and Coastal Eng. Lab. have two 2-dimensional wave-making channels (LWH=17m x 0.5m x 0.6m, 17m x 0.6m x 0.6m) in its hydraulic experiment building. In the third-year undergraduate students' Urban Environment Experiments and Exercises A, experiments on wave velocity and shallow water deformation are conducted using these channels. Experiments using these tanks are also conducted as part of graduation, master's, and doctoral research.

Seminar

All students are requested to attend the weekly seminar to report their research progress and to exchange information as well as to polish their presentation skills.

Events

In order to foster good relationships among the members of the laboratory, the following events are organized by M1 students. We hope that you will actively participate in these events, as it is very important for us to help each other in our research.

* Welcome parties (April, October)
In April, we hold a welcome party for new members, including graduate students, and in October, we hold a welcome party mainly for new international students. z Laboratory Alumni Party (April, October)

* Laboratory Alumni Reunion (July)
In July, we hold the annual alumni reunion of our laboratory. Many alumni, including former faculty members and current students, attend the reunion.

* Summer trip (summer vacation)
We usually hold a two-day and one-night summer trip (camp) in September.

* Participation in academic conferences
Students who are in the first year of a master's course or above and give a presentation at the Coastal Engineering Conference in November are mainly invited to this conference. In addition, presenters also participate in international conferences such as the Ocean Development Symposium, the Japan Coastal Society Research Conference, the International Coastal Symposium, ICCE, and ISOPE in June or July.

* Laboratory Ski Trip
We used to go on a ski trip for two days and two nights (in most cases, one of the two nights is spent in the bus) after the review meeting for the graduation thesis, but we have not been able to go on such a trip in recent years.

* Farewell parties (March, September)
The graduation ceremony in March is followed by a classroom graduation ceremony, a thank-you party, and a laboratory farewell party, and the celebration continues until late at night.
