4. Industrial Systems
The subjects “Industrial Systems” are classes to study the basics of objective appraisal, global
perspective and practical understanding. In addition, students acquire leadership though the classes
taught by global leaders in industrial fields. Students study the following items.
•

Fundamental knowledge of Asian industry through site tours to both production and R&D
facilities (including laboratories in universities) in Japan and other countries in Asia. Students
have an opportunity to discuss with researchers and technicians in these institutions during thetours.

•

Students take classes taught by business people who work in the fields of product development,
manufacturing and services to learn “thought processes” and “practical methods” to solve theirproblems through the cooperation between multiple departments, and so on.
The subjects of Industrial Systems in the academic years from 2016 to 2018 are listed in Table

Industrial Systems (III): Project Management 2017
The class “Project management 2017” was held as a lecture of Engineering Advancement
Association of Japan (ENAA) by Chiyoda Corporation (Photo 4-3). The lecturer, Dr. Yoshihide Fueda(Section Leader of Engineering Consultant Cost Engineering, Project Management Unit in Chiyoda
Corporation) has worked on many overseas projects for more than 30 years. The classes wereintermittently conducted for 4 days in total, and 18 students studied about project management.
On April 14 (day 1), the students learned (1) the meaning of project, project management, and soon, (2) how to make an organization for the project, and (3) important roles of an administrator in theorganization. On May 19 (day 2), a case study by making small groups of the students was performed
as a practical training. Each group discussed and then proposed about appropriate arrangement of aliquid natural gas (LNG) plant under a given condition. On June 16 (day 3), the students tried casestudies on a housing construction schedule under the limitation of period and cost. On July 14 (day 4),
the students tried case studies by considering a delay during the housing construction to learn amanagement ability for solving such problems.
In these classes, huge overseas projects conducted by Chiyoda Corporation were introduced tothe students, and they learned the crucial role of a project management for the success of projects.

5. International Exercise
5.1. International Exercise A
Unlike traditional education in graduate schools, the Green Asia Program aims to cultivation of
not only researchers specialized in engineering and science but also human resources with panoramic
intelligence based on outstanding perspective on social and industrial backgrounds, environmental
adaptability, economic feasibility and sustainability for the scientific research. From this viewpoint, asubject “International Exercise A” starts at the first semester in the 1st year of the doctoral course in46

order to review and asses not only the scientific and technical aspects but also the industrial
implementation and social impact related to the students’ researches. Through a series of classes, thestudents are expected to recognize social and/or economic contexts of technology. In the 3rd year ofthe doctoral course, each student is required to submit to the paper, the first author of which is him- or
herself, to an international peer-reviewed journal (e.g., Evergreen, see X.1) as a final deliverable forhis or her study in a series of International Exercise A (Green Asia Report, described below).
International Exercise A consists of four consecutive subjects, International Exercise A1 to A4 (2credits for each subject) (Table 4-8). Types of the assumed task are shown in Table 4-9, which are notstrictly differentiated, and a guideline for the students’ setting tasks.

Green Asia Report (Green Asia Industrial Paper)
As mentioned above, the result of the studies in International Exercise A, including social andindustrial backgrounds, environmental adaptability, and economic feasibility and sustainability, wasrequired to be submitted as “Green Asia Report” to a peer-reviewed international journal such as
Evergreen (see X.1). This submission is the 4th stage gate of the program (detailed in IV. 13), and thestudents must be the first author. The Green Asia Program students belonging to the Interdisciplinary
Graduate School of Engineering Sciences can count the published paper as one of at least two
published papers that are demanded as a requisite for application to the doctoral degree (unfortunately
the students in Graduate School of Engineering cannot treat the paper for the requisite). According torules that changed in 2018, the submission to the journal is not necessary, and the students are also
allowed to submit the results as a report-style document in order to pass the 4th stage gate. But in thiscase, they cannot treat the report as one of the two published papers in applying the degree mentioned
above.
The reports are listed as follows.

5.2. International Exercise B
The Green Asia Program has held “International Forum of Green Asia” once a year. A key
concept of the forum is an integration of social science, science technology, industrial technology andpolicy, and lectures by industry and academic leaders in Asia. In addition, the progress report of the
program are performed. The doctoral students in the 3rd to 5th (final) years of the combined masters
and doctoral program participate in this forum not only to present the progress of their own researches
and also to play roles as staffs for design, preparation and management of the forum (International
Exercise B).
As the International Exercise B1, the 1st-year doctoral students (in the 3rd year of the program)
make presentations for their own research activities, including comments on social significance thatis reviewed and evaluated in International Exercise A1. The 2nd-year doctoral students (in the 4th yearof the program) not only present the progress of their own researches but also participate as staffs fordesign, preparation and management, which are required in the International Exercise B2. In addition,
they propose topics of the student session. The contents of the International Exercise B3 for the 3rdyear doctoral students (in the 5th, final year of the program) include a role of a moderator in the student
session and cultivation of skills to communicate with researchers and engineers in fields different fromtheir ones.
(1) International Forum for Green Asia 2016
The doctoral students (1st to 3rd batch students of the program) made poster presentations for the
progress and achievements of their researches. In addition, the 2nd batch, 2nd-year doctoral, students
played various roles for the International Exercise B2 in designing and preparing the forum and in
conducting the student session. This forum in detail is reported in VI. 1 (1).
(2) International Forum for Green Asia 2017
The doctoral students (2nd to 4th batch students of the program) made poster presentations forthe progress and achievements of their researches. In addition, the 3rd batch, 2nd-year doctoral,

50

students shared tasks in the International Exercise B2, such as collection of abstracts for the students’poster presentations, preparation and management of the sites, works for the registration, moderating
the forum, and chairing the invited lectures. This forum in detail is reported in VI. 1 (2).
(3) International Forum for Green Asia 2018
In 2018, the international forum was independently held, and conducted as a part of the 4thIntellectual Exchange and Innovation Conference on Engineering and Sciences (IEICES) hosted by
the Intellectual Exchange and Innovation (IEI) Program that is another international education
program for doctoral students in the Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Engineering Sciences. The
research progress of the doctoral students (3rd to 5th batch students of the program) was reported withposters, and some of them made also oral presentations. The 4th batch, 2nd-year doctoral, students
contributed to collection of abstracts for the students’ presentations and preparation and managementof the sites. This forum in detail is reported in VI. 1 (3).

6. Internship Program
The Green Asia Program students take part in the three different internships to foster theirleadership through work experiences in industrial or research institute (Table 4-10 and Figure 4-1).

Figure 4-1. Varieties of internships in the Green Asia Program.

In the Practice School, each student chooses a location from various institutes and a potential onsite supervisor called “Technical Mentor” in Japan, and then makes a detailed activity plan during theinternship under the guidance of the chosen mentor. After two years, the student can choose the same
institute and technical mentor in the Domestic Internship again. All the internships are composed of
the following steps: (1) planning the internship including selections of the institute, technical mentor,
and actual research and development activities, (2) conducting the internship activities at the site, and(3) preparing a written report and making an oral presentation for the results in front of the Green Asia

51

faculty members to be evaluated.
From the academic year of 2017, according to the new curriculum, the standard durations of
implementation are shortened as follows: Practice School (2 to 3 weeks), International Internship (3to 6 weeks), and Domestic Internship (approximately 10 days). The students can also choose
participation in job fairs or industrial symposia (2 times in total, or 1 time with presentation) as analternative to the Domestic Internship. In the academic year of 2018, the master’s course students arealso allowed to conduct the International and Domestic Internships prior to the regular time schedule.
6.1. Practice School
In the Practice School, each of the student stays at an industrial or a research institute in Japan to
conduct research and development activities. The supervisor of the student in the institute is requested
to participate in his or her Mentoring Care Unit (MCU) as Technical Mentor. After completion of theinternship activity, reports are submitted by not only the student but also the technical mentor and thementoring professor.
The student’s activity is evaluated based on the impression of his or her technical mentor and theoral presentation (8 minutes of presentation and 7 minutes of questions and answers) (Photo 4-5). The
report and presentation are a part of the qualifying examination to move up to the doctoral stage of theGreen Asia Program (see IV. 10). According to the new curriculum mentioned above, however, the5th batch and later students are not required to make an oral presentation for the qualifying
examination from the academic year of 2018, and evaluated using the activity reports.
The Practice Schools conducted during the academic years from 2016 to 2018 are listed in Table
4-11.

6.2. International Internship
The International Internship aims to experience and learn works in a different culture fromJapanese and the student’s home one through communication in English. Each student, therefore inprinciple, conducts this internship at a company or a research institute, including a university, outside
the student’s home county as well as Japan. The supervisor of the student in this internship is requested
to participate in his or her Mentoring Care Unit (MCU) as Overseas Mentor.
After completion of the internship activity, reports are submitted by not only the student but also
the technical mentor and the mentoring professor. The students also report the results in an oralpresentation (10 minutes of presentation and 8 minutes of questions and answers) to earn the creditsof the International Internship (Photo 4-6).
The International Internship conducted in the academic years from 2016 to 2018 is listed in Table

6.3. Domestic InternshipIn the Domestic Internship, the students stay in companies or research institutes in Japan for a
relatively short period (2 to 3 weeks, but from 2017, it changed to approximately 10 days), and inprinciple, universities are not preferred as the site. One of the initial aims of this internship was thatthe students received feedbacks for their growth from their Technical Mentors (supervisors of thePractice School), and therefore this internship was conducted under the guidance of the Technical
Mentors. They however cannot always accept the students again. In addition, this internship is usuallyconducted in latter half of the doctoral course, and it may provide the students information for theircareers. The sites therefore are not restricted to ones for the Practice School.
The Domestic Internship conducted in the academic years from 2016 to 2018 is summarized inTable 4-13. According to the new curriculum started in 2017, the students can also choose
participation in job fairs or industrial symposia (2 times in total, or 1 time with presentation) as analternative to the Domestic Internship, which are excluded from this table. With the introduction of
the new curriculum, the oral presentation for the results of the Domestic internship (Photo 4-7) was
also demolished. From the academic year of 2018, the masters course students are also allowed to
conduct the International and Domestic Internships prior to the regular time schedule.
