In my opinion, the aims of international exchange of our university are
1.Providing opportunities to associate with many people to work for engineering focused on human beings and engineering for life design
2.Improving our university so that it has research divisions and educational programs that can appeal to people from other countries
3.Cultivating international mindedness by experiencing different cultures from associating with people from other countries
It makes other people happy and our own life richer to experience mutual understanding obtained by association with not only people of our own country but also people with different cultures and sense of values.
The activities to promote such experience are based on unification of professional education and liberal arts education.
For students in Japan and also in other countries what they achieve from this experience is important for their character-building, and for teachers it enhances their self-enlightenment and their educational research.
In that sense, we are making efforts to improve the environment for the work of international exchange, based on the idea that it has the same importance to invite exchange students and teachers from other countries and to send our students and teachers abroad to study.
