・Contribution to Regional Society and Related Collaboration

1

The third phase of the medium-term objectives of national university corporations began in April, and with this national universities had to choose one from three categories to set their objectives and plans. Muroran Institute of Technology chose the category of a “national university that, as core activities to strengthen its functions in the third phase, focuses on regional contribution through human resource development and the resolution of regional issues and efforts to promote world-class or national-level education and research in characteristic fields where the university excels while taking the attributions of the specialized fields into consideration.”

Regarding regional contribution, we have begun the All Hokkaido Project for Job Creation and Attracting Youth as a COC University-led Regional Revitalization Project (COC+) under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. In this project, four science and technology universities in Hokkaido (Muroran Institute of Technology as the organizing school of the Hokkaido region, Kitami Institute of Technology, Hokkaido University of Science, and Chitose Institute of Science and Technology) and four technical colleges in Hokkaido (Kushiro, Asahikawa, Tomakomai, and Hakodate) cooperate with local governments and industries. In terms of research, we aim at the global development of research using regional resources and energy in collaboration with local governments, including research on underground coal gasification (Mikasa City), research on ship recycling (Muroran City) and industrial promotion based on research about perilla’s anti-dementia function (Shiranuka Town).

In terms of educat ion , we operate e ight engineering education programs certified by the Japan Accreditation Board for Engineering Education, which guarantees international-level undergraduate education. While valuing the connectivity to graduate education, these active learning-based programs allow students to increase their independence and proactivity, thereby developing the kind of technologists required by society.

The graduate school was reorganized in academic 2014. In master’s courses, which provide higher levels of specialized education in major subjects, minor subjects and coursework have been enhanced and substantiated. In the doctoral course, the long-term internship program has been enhanced and substantiated, and DC English

A Message from the President

Beginning of the Third Phase of National University Corporations

presentation and innovation subjects have been enhanced using comments and suggestions from the advisory board to develop diverse human resources.

In terms of research in characteristic fields where the institute excels, we aim to establish Japan’s highest-level research center in the manufacturing, environment/energy materials and aerospace plane fields. In particular, the Organization of Advanced Sustainability Initiative for Energy System/Material, which was established in October 2014 toward the formation of an international research and education center, is Japan’s only research institute dedicated to utilizing rare earths, and promotes the research and development of new materials using rare earths while providing the Santoku Rare Earth Endowed Course in collaboration with Santoku, a world-leading company.

Under the basic philosophy of “Making Dreams Come True through Creative Science and Technology,” Muroran Institute of Technology is resolved to serve as a center for research and regional revitalization to respond to the needs of the times and society, develop internationally accepted high- level engineers and create innovation. We ask sincerely for the support and cooperation of all sectors.

　 Organization of Advanced Sustainability Initiative for Energy System/Materials（OASIS）　

■OverviewThe Organization of Advanced Sustainability Initiative for Energy System/Material (OASIS) was established in academic 2009 as a cross-sectional organization. This organization consists of four divisions (Fission/Fusion Energy Systems/Materials Division, Renewable Energy Systems/Materials Division, Innovation Promotion Division, and New Industry Support Division) and the FEEMA Facility, aiming to promote education and research related to environmental/energy systems and materials, and thereby produce creative, high-level experts and contribute to the advancement of science and technology, the development of industrial circles and the revitalization of regional industries. OASIS has successfully completed the INSPIRE Project under the auspices of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, which had been conducted since academic 2012 as an innovative project to pursue the safety of nuclear power. It is also proceeding with the SCARLET Project under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. With regard to geothermal power, OASIS has completed the JST-supported SIRIUS Project and began a follow-up program in academic 2015.

■What is the FEEMA Project? The FEEMA (Facility for Energy and Environmental Material Assessment) Facility under OASIS makes it possible to reproduce a complex and harsh environment and conduct various environmentally resistant tests under a simulated situation that is close to a realistic setting. The FEEMA Project, which is intended to make a social contribution by offering this cutting-edge research facility for extramural use, was adopted as an Open Advanced Research Facility Initiative by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in FY 2009, and has been implemented since November 1, 2009. The project not only offers equipment for use but also provides comprehensive support to resolve technical issues that companies have, receiving favorable comments from many companies. Using its cutting-edge equipment and research capacity/experiences, OASIS restarted the project as an independent program in academic 2016. OASIS is further strengthening its cooperative relationship with the industrial circle and is also committed to funded/collaborative research.

■What are the SCARLET and INSPIRE Projects? As research to strengthen the safety of nuclear power, OASIS has implemented two projects: the SCARLET (SiC Fuel Cladding/Assembly Research Launching Extra Technology) Project (Research and Development on the Fundamental Manufacturing Technology of Highly Safe Silicon Carbide Fuel Cladding for a Reactor Core ) as a FY 2012 Special Account Contracted Program for Energy under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and the INSPIRE (Innovative SiC Fuel-Pin Research) Project (Development of Technology to Apply Ceramic Composite Materials to Fuel Assembly for Innovative Safety Improvement) as a FY 2012 Subsidized Program for the Development of Innovative Practical Nuclear Technology under the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. In these projects, research has been conducted on neutron irradiation at the Halden Reactor in Norway and BR 2 in Belgium to develop production technology of SiC/SiC composite materials and verify their performance for early practical application. OASIS successfully completed the INSPIRE Project in academic 2015, and has smoothly been implementing the SCARLET Project. A great deal of important research results have been obtained and highly regarded in Japan and elsewhere. Based on these research results, OASIS is preparing for the next phase toward practical application of SiC/SiC composite materials.

■What is the SIRIUS Project?As research for eco-friendly, innovative geothermal power generation, OASIS promoted the SIRIUS (SiC Integration Research for Innovative Utilization of Geothermal Energy Source) Project (Development of Environment-resistant and Long-life Ceramic Composite Materials for Double Steel Tubes for Pressurized Water DCH-type Geothermal Power Generation) in collaboration with GUNZE Limited. This project was a Program for the Optimized Development of Research Results under the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST). The pressurized water DCHE (downhole coaxial heat exchanger) system minimizes impacts on circulation by extracting geothermal energy alone, and is expected to ensure a stable supply of electricity and reduce electricity costs. In the SIRIUS Project, heat- and environment-resistant materials for outer tubes were mainly developed for further attractive geothermal power generation. The development of high-performance insulation inner tubes for the geothermal power generation system was adopted as a Matching Planner Program by JST in academic 2015. A mechanistic verification test for the pressurized water DCHE system is underway along with preparations for the next large-scale phase (SIRIUS-2).OASIS also implements international/domestic collaboration and company-funded research, and as international collaboration participates in the ITER Project and the Broad Approach (BP) Project in the fusion research field, as well as fourth-generation reactor development activities. In addition to a wide variety of engineering research, OASIS also works on the development of high-performance particle targets that contribute to massive accelerator science used for research in elementary particle physics and the development of element members for high-performance rockets.

The COC Promotion Office has been established to promote the Town, People and Job Development through Manufacturing and Human Resources project, which was selected as a COC University-led Regional Revitalization Project (COC+) by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in academic 2015.In this project, four manufacturing-related universities in Hokkaido (Muroran Institute of Technology, Kitami Institute of Technology, Hokkaido University of Science, and Chitose Institute of Science and Technology), four technical colleges (Tomakomai, Kushiro, Asahikawa, and Hakodate), and nine local governments (Hokkaido, Muroran, Kitami, Sapporo, Chitose, Tomakomai, Kushiro, Asahikawa, and Hakodate) collaborate/cooperate with each other to create

The COC+ Sapporo Office has been established as the base of industry-academia-government-finance collaboration for the COC+ Project. At the COC+ Sapporo Office, COC+ coordinators liaise with industrial, academic, governmental and financial institutions and engage in public relations activities to promote industry-academia-government-finance collaboration for the COC+ Project.

The Muroran Institute of Technology’s TECHNO AGORA was established in September 2014 as part of efforts to promote the development of the local community with the Institute serving as a center of knowledge. Located in a vacated store on the first floor of an apartment house in the shopping district of Muroran’s Wanishi-cho district, this facility serves as a forum for local contribution activities and provides the Institute’s students with opportunities to voluntarily play active roles in the local community. The term Agora is a Greek word meaning a

“gathering place.” It was named also with hopes of serving as a place of regional revitalization where local residents, students and other people come together. This facility is open to anyone including local residents and students free of charge.

New logo for Muroran Institute of TechnologyTo commemorate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the university, a call was put out to design a new logo for the school. In 2009, this symbol was chosen. “M” stands for the first letter of the university’s name, and the shape of the letter portrays the symbol for infinity “∞”. The design of a fresh, young bud expresses the endless potential of the students at Muroran Institute of Technology.

Muroran IT character

ムロぴょん

Similar to the logo, it was chosen from suggestions from the public when we celebrated the 60th anniversary in 2009. Capital “M” for Muroran Institute of Technology was impersonated as a star antenna, expressing the realization of our dreams with creative science and technology, and the dynamic first step towards a bright future.
