Collaborative Manufacturing Engineering Education and Research in Japan

Abstract

This paper describes an emerging engineering education system for manufacturing professionals at Chiba Institute of Technology (CIT) in Japan, based on the principles of industry academia collaboration and case study methodology in teaching and research. First, the Department of Project Management (DPM), which was established at CIT in 1997 for this collaborative approach, is described. Then, two case studies are introduced illustrating the nature of industry-academia cooperation and the use of real world cases resulting from such cooperation to educate manufacturing professionals for Japanese industries.Our preliminary experiences with this new curriculum and approach to educating manufacturing professionals at Chiba Institute of Technology in Japan since its implementation in 1997 is also presented in the conclusions.
