The Department of Brain Science and Engineering of the Graduate
School of Life Science and Systems Engineering is a place where
hot and exciting research activities are carried out with cutting-edge
engineering knowledge and leading scientific ideas as proven by
the designation of the Kyushu Institute of Technology (Kyutech)
as a 21st COE (Center of Excellence) Program. It is no surprise
that our cross-disciplinary Coaching System through Visits to Other
Laboratories for Practice which was selected as an educational program
for the Initiatives for Attractive Education in Graduate Schools
(Good Practice [GP] in Graduate Education), originated in such an
active academic environment. This Graduate School GP is an innovative
educational system modeled on the DEGEIKO, through which Sumo wrestlers
visit other stables to engage in sparring exercises and thereby
acquire new and different techniques. We provide the same kind of
environment in which enthusiastic students conduct research at other
laboratories of their choosing and acquire hands-on skills and practical
knowledge in various fields.
Staying in other laboratories is a very stimulating and valuable
experience through which students can widen their knowledge and
learn much more than by self-studying through books alone. For cross-disciplinary
research in the novel field in which our department is striving
for, it is crucial for researchers to equip themselves with a large
set of tools to solve various problems. It is also a good opportunity
for them to see their own specialization from a different perspective
and to deepen their understanding of their fields.
With many students crossing over the walls between laboratories
and stimulating intellectual exchanges, our department as a whole
will be a more active locus for novel research, and we have no doubt
that the academic freedom in our system will lead to fruitful achievements
in the future. We, the enthusiastic professors, are waiting for
you to knock on our door to your future, with a challenging spirit,
"Hi! Hello! I'm here to learn." |
