Mission Statement

Mission Statement
Our purpose is that our proposed programs would be recognized as effective as an institution of trainings for international leaders by industries after several years from now. We assume that our example would be followed by other universities as a complete example of international collegiate alliance and joint strategies with industries.

<The expected estimation at the end of 5 years>
・The number of trained domestic leaders
　(Accumulated number of acceptance) Master's course 25/ Doctor's course 17
　(Accumulated number of graduates) Master's course 17/ Doctor's course 13
・The number of trained overseas leaders
　(Accumulated number of acceptance) Master's course 25/ Doctor's course 25
　(Accumulated number of graduates) Master's course 17/ Doctor's course 13
・The number of internship and job network 30 industries.
・The number of masters who have secured jobs 19
・The number of joint research 34 / cost 100 million Yen
・6 joint researches and the fund of 20million Yen will be offered to alumni.

Project Outline

Project Outline
In order to train environmental leaders who can solve global environmental issues and problems of industry activities through international and collaborated efforts among industries, academic, institutions, and governments, we propose the following system;
�� A model of master's course (a long-term course).
�� A model of doctor's course (an elementary course)
Contents
An effective language program → a rich variety of on-demand contents
An academic integrated education → an auditing system which involves the whole　university
( all Waseda university)
A practical education → ample fund for joint-research
A supporting system for everyday life → placement of international students　communicators
A system for acquiring language fluency → a bilingual education of English and　Japanese
A system of cultural exchange → area studies
A system for understanding business habits → internship
A system for offering degrees that are recognized internationally
  → double(dual)-degree
A system for research exchange → investment of encouraging strategic researches
A system of alumni intercourse → life-long friend

Concrete objectives for at the time three years passed

Concrete objectives for at the time three years passed
At our masterﾕs course, a model for course offering for the training of environmental leaders has been already completed. The trained environmental leaders are expected to find jobs at related industries and to actively participate in their research. During their docorﾕs course, we assume it is a period when the 1st graduating class is actively contributing to joint researches.

Concrete objectives for at the time five years passed

Concrete objectives for at the time five years passed
At the end of the 5th year, they are expected to complete their courses.
Environmental leaders who are trained at the early days of the program are expected to guide research activities at industries. Joint researches with related industries at a long-span are assumed to be going on. Among such joint-researches, those with university faculties who have gotten positions after completing doctoral courses at Waseda should be included. We aim to make such programs deemed as first-rate and applied to other graduate schools within our university.

Continuing projects after completing the course

Continuing projects after completing the course
After the completion of this project, findings from it should be incorporated into our normal curriculum at our graduate school of environment and energy engineering. Further, they will be applied to other graduate studies and to other majors.
Especially, know-how accumulated from activities of research coordinators and navigators for international students involved in this project are highly applicable to other fields and they are promising as completely new management methods of research funds.

Expected ripple effect

Expected ripple effect
International leaders cultivated in this program will not monopolize energy conservation technologies, productive methods, and business model in their own countries. We aim to train human resources shared by the entire Asia and Africa. Through this strategy, we propose to strengthen the cooperation of technology and science with developing countries in order to solve environmental issues and we further seek to strengthen the base to promote diplomacy of Japanese science and technology.
Also, our project will have a ripple effect on industries; it will improve their international competitive abilities and their aptitude for research and exploration. In this way, our project will support productive industries and recycling industries which are well-advanced field of our country.
