5GCOE Human resource development

Principle of human resource development:The program aims at the cultivation of the following items:(1) F d t l tt i t(1) Fundamental attainment

Natural sciences, such as mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology, and fundamental social sciences

(2) Specialized knowledge(2) Specialized knowledgeSpecialized knowledge, such as mechanical dynamics, mechanics of materials, hydrodynamics, thermodynamics, design engineering, manufacturing engineering and material engineering, and bird’s-eye-view knowledge on technology, society and g g, y g gy, ythe environment

(3) LiteracyLanguage, information literacy, technological literacy and knowledge of the law

(4) CompetencyCreativity, problem identification and solution, planning and execution, self-management, teamwork, leadership, sense of responsibility and sense of duty

Th l f th h d l tThe goal of the human resource development program:To cultivate internationally competitive young researchers with the ability to

comprehend and generate both fundamental attainment and specialized knowledge and the technical and language literacy and competencyknowledge, and the technical and language literacy and competency.

It is expected that these young engineers will be well-prepared to be the future leaders of industry and academia.

6Overview of the education program

(From the viewpoint of an RA)To company,to academiaTo company,to academia

Ph.D. students and postdocs will bed t i t ti l h texposed to international approaches to

collaborative research through stays ofseveral months per year at overseasuniversities and research institutes.

InternationalizationInternationalization

Project-Based Learning (PBL) projectsin overseas industries will also beintroduced in international internships.institutes.

By participating in several researchgroups, the student’ s exposure tofrontier research areas in the overlap

The main- and vice-supervisorssystem will be introduced across thedepartment to broaden the range ofresearch and Ph.D. students’ andpostdoctoral researchers’ horizons.
