Introduction
The world is moving toward an era with a global population of 9 billion, and Japan is facing many social problems
due to its declining and aging population. In response to such issues, the Tokyo University of Agriculture andTechnology—in its role as a scientific research university focuses on the fields of agriculture and engineering—is cultivating high-level innovation leaders capable of action on the international stage, through a combination ofproblem-exploration abilities in agriculture and problem-solving abilities in engineering. Many points of the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030, in particular, involve agriculture and engineering. Furthermore,
understanding diversity is respecting each other with respecting minority opinions. That leads us to have amultitude of options for responding to challenges. That increases your individual and organizational resilience,and produces potentials to solve problems as a leader, the core of the team. “Excellent Leader Development forSuper Smart Society by New Industry Creation and Diversity”—That is the heart of the WISE Program, whichbrings together the strengths of the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology.

1. Overview of the WISE Program
Launched in 2018, the Doctoral Program for World-leading Innovative & Smart Education (WISE Program) is afive-year integrated doctoral degree program bringing together world-class education and research capabilities—
a collaboration of universities, research institutions, and private companies structured around the strengths of theindividual universities. Based on this approach, the program develops excellent human resources with doctoral
degrees capable of driving a variety of sectors in agriculture, engineering, and related fields. Through humanresource development and academic/technical exchange both domestic and overseas, we will spark innovation,and form a hub of excellence that can be continually expanded. WISE program offers five-year integrated
education from master to doctoral programs in cooperation with overseas research and education institutions andprivate companies, with the keywords of "collaboration of agriculture and engineering", "creation of new
industries" and "diversity". The program promotes research on the "fusion and collaboration of advanced
knowledge and technology in agriculture and engineering" and fosters advanced doctoral human resources whowill play a key role in building a super-smart society.

1.1 Significance and Distinctive Features of Study in the WISE Program
Significance
Global innovation is accelerating in today's world, and there is a need for human resources with doctoral
degrees to spark innovation. Realizing the Society 5.0 “Super Smart Society,” in particular, will require theability to solve social problems while leveraging academic specialization. At TUAT, we bring together
agriculture and engineering capabilities, and enable innovation through creation of new industries and diversity.
Furthermore, as social changes—such as shrinking and aging of the population in Japan, and growth of the
global population—there is a strong need for diversification of graduate school education and recurrent
education across ages and genders as we move toward an era where the human life-span will be 100 years. It isalso essential to appreciate diversity of gender, age, cultural/social background, and other characteristics.,
In responding to such demand, this Program provides educational opportunities to foster students’ research andinnovation-producing potential with “Creation of New Industries” and “Diversity,” taking advantage of its
strengths of collaboration of agriculture and engineering of TUAT. The program has a system to enable
students to strengthen their big-picture perspective for using knowledge horizontally while keeping to their
existing specialized knowledge and techniques. The curriculum is designed for students to put their acquired
academic knowledge into the engineering level.
WISE students are expected to engage in an industry-academic joint research with their own initiatives andacquire the foundation as “a professional of knowledge” who is leading Super Smart Society.

Distinctive Features
The WISE Program incorporates: (1) Support for study and travel abroad, (2) Support for collaboration withcompany, (3) Support for active learning, and (4) Support after the program completion.
As support for study and travel abroad, the WISE Program provides various types of economic assistance forcultivating global human resources. For example, we provide financial support for short-term study abroad,participation in international conferences, travel expenses for field research and other research activities. Research
assistant (RA) expenses may support your research life. We also provide and guide you opportunities tostrengthen your English language skills for preparation in those overseas studies. As support relating to work
experience, students can take lectures by experts actually working at private firms or partner research institutions,and learn reality in the industrial sectors. This will enable to further expand the depth and breadth of your current
research by learning about examples of social application (implementation) of research results and understanding
related issues.

4Each program student assembles a portfolio of what he or she has learned through lectures, exercises, and otherexperiences, and continuously evaluate him or herself regarding learning achievements and/or acquired skills.
Competency evaluation is also performed to encourage independent self-growth. This involves self-evaluation as well as evaluation by advisors and faculty members of partner institutions -of student abilities in terms ofproblem-setting, development of solutions, idea generation, big-picture thinking, diversity, management,
leadership, Creation of New Industries and practical action. These data can be checked via the Internet using asmartphone or other device, and students can actively learn while confirming, at any time, how experiences in
the program connect with the student's own growth.
We hope that students who complete the WISE program will themselves expand into various industries in Japanand overseas and create new industries (= New field creation through the cutting-edge research skills). In
addition to that, we will build and introduce “a doctor matching system,” which is designed to connect students
with private companies and/or related institutions for students to broaden their horizons or a network of people.

1.2 Vision of Human Resources Cultivated by the WISE Program
In the WISE program, we provide a 5-year integrated program (master's + doctorate) to foster doctorate-holding
human resources with the following three characteristics:. Students who have completed a master's course arealso accepted to start a conventional doctoral program (second phase of the integrated program). The goal of the
WISE Program is to foster human resources with the following three characteristics, and the curriculum has been
designed for those purposes: (1) Challenging “creating new industries through agri-engineering collaboration”
and thereby leveraging cutting-edge engineering technology to solve the social challenges relating to agriculture,(2) Strengthening the understanding of diversity (gender, nationality, social experiences, etc.) which is essential
for innovative human resources, and (3) Excellent leadership with a big-picture perspective, originality,
appreciation of diversity, international competitiveness, and high-level specialization.

（１）Creating new industries（３）Excellent Leader（２）Diversity51.3 Admission Policy, Curriculum Policy, and Diploma Policy

1.4 Visualization of Learning through Competency Evaluation
In the WISE Program, we use competency evaluation as an indicator allowing individual students to visualize inreal-time their progress in terms of the curriculum and diploma policies presented in 1.3. This information is also
useful for future learning and activities.
Competency is an indicator of personal characteristics linked with action and thinking which bring highperformance in such as research, education, and companies. In companies, they analyze the behavioral
characteristics of “high- performers” to extract their behavior and thinking which resulted in high performance,
and use them for their human resources allocation and education.
In WISE program, we have analyzed the ideal of excellent leaders in the science-technology field capable ofacting on the global stage, and extracted nine important competencies: problem-setting, development of solutions,idea generation, big-picture thinking, diversity, management, leadership, creation of new industries and practicalaction. These competencies can be obtained by learning, experiences, or training regardless of person’s naturalcharacter or personality.

Competency evaluation is conducted twice a year at the end of the first half and at the end of the second half. In
addition to a self-evaluation by individual students, the faculty members and the specially-appointed faculty
members of the WISE Program also make the evaluation through the portfolio (described later). At the end of thesecond half, the student’s supervisor joins the evaluation and shares the student’s growth.

Based on these competency assessments, the program students and related faculty members are able tounderstand the students’ strengths and weaknesses, the necessary points to be developed for the future, andchallenges to be outstanding leaders. This helps the students to make effective plans of learning and activities.

1.5 Curriculum Characteristics and Course Tree
(1) Curriculum Characteristics
In the WISE Program, years 1–5 of the integrated doctoral course are indicated as follows: 1st year (P1), 2ndyear (P2), 3rd year (P3), 4th year (P4), 5th year (P5).
In P1, through lectures by cutting-edge researchers, students learn about the development of collaborative researchin agriculture and engineering and examples of social implementation of research, and consider the developmentof their own research. In addition, the "Problem Exploration Program" is conducted in collaboration withcompanies through PBL (Project Based Learning, Problem Solving), in which students tackle problems throughgroup work. In terms of diversity, students will deepen their basic understanding of diversity and inclusion andleadership diversity. By utilizing online overseas training programs conducted jointly with overseas partner
institutions and the "Study Abroad Support Program," students can develop the basic English communication
skills and international mindset necessary to be a global outstanding human resource. Those who wish to do socan plan and apply for research and research-related activities on their own initiative, using the "Proposal-based
Project Funding Support," etc., and develop their ability to make proposals. Through these activities, students will
gain an understanding of social issues, deepen and develop their specialized research, and promote anunderstanding of diversity.
In P2, students learn from partner companies about R&D in the industrial world and actual examples ofcommercialization of research, and consider how to develop their research in the real world by applying it to theirown research. In addition, students will learn specifically about doctoral careers and life events as a doctoral
student, and draw their future life plans based on the various careers and lives that surround doctoral students. At
the end of P2, students take the Qualifying Examination (QE1) as a mid-term review of their achievement in the
program.
From P3, we will accelerate the strengthening of our research capabilities and at the same time, we will be more
active in social implementation and practice. For example, we will engage in global practices such as international
joint research and study abroad at overseas partner institutions. Students may also devise commercialization ideas
based on the results of their research and challenge business idea contests, or, if they wish, utilize the " Joint
Project of Agriculture, Engineering and Interdisciplinary Researches" to engage in agriculture-industry
cooperative creation research, prototype production, demonstration experiments, and other practical activities. In
the diversity course, students learn the importance of diversity management in academia and industry based oncase studies, with a view to after graduation. In the final course, students will develop a vision of the society theywish to create with their research at its core, boldly envision new academic fields and new industries to bepioneered, and work to develop the organizations necessary to achieve these visions and demonstrate them tosociety. When appropriate, the students can receive advice from leading researchers within the university, faculty
members with experience in social implementation, and partner companies.
In P5, each student works toward the completion of the doctoral program in his/her department. If the student is
expected to complete the doctoral program, he/she will undergo the Qualifying Examination (QE2), which is the
final examination of his/her achievement in the WISE Program in practical skills, diversity acquisition, andleadership for the creation of new industries and the development of new academic fields. Upon successful

8completion of the QE2, a statement of completion of the Graduate Program for Graduate Excellence will be affixed
to the student's degree.
