(1) Quality Assurance both in Learning and Teaching through the Faculty-Staff-Student Partnership

For quality assurance in teaching, we employ the PDCA cycle described below.

  • P : Plan the outcomes of learning and education by professors
  • D : Do study through incorporation of active learning beginning with global PBL (Project Based Learning), and overseas internships
  • C : Check by introducing objective evaluation standard of learning achievement (Rubric) and basic social skills test (PROG)
  • A : Act to improve by giving feedback on evaluation results

(2) World-class Technical University

As a result of the system development, the followings are to be accomplished.

  • Increase the number of international students up to 30% of all students
  • Send all students to study abroad or overseas training
  • Establish degree programs taught in English
  • 600 classes taught in English

(3) Global Technology Initiative

Universities and companies join a global consortium, "Global Technology Initiative (GTI) Consortium" and promote research collaboration and industry-academia collaboration projects, as well as active learning (global PBL and overseas internships) and mutual exchanges of faculty.
A value co-creative education is based on Faculty-Staff-Student partnership, and various projects will be performed through collaborations with overseas universities and companies. By institutional reform of universities, we have constructed a program for training human resources who are active in the field of science and technology all over the world.

This is not just within the Shibaura University campus; we share this "Shibaura model" with universities in Japan and overseas.

Human Resources in Engineering and Science

Communication skills

Ability to promote mutual understanding in a globalized society based on a combination of broad engineering knowledge and linguistic proficiency.

Problem finding and solving skills

Ability to find and solve problems, with ethical mind and perspective views that enable us to evaluate the socio-economic ef fects of technology dvancements.

Meta-national awareness

Competence to respect diverse cultures, and take action from global viewpoints with the identity of one's home country in mind.

Technology management skills

Ability to find and assign socioeconomic values of emerging technologies on the basis of broad intellectual assets.
