| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to cultivate graduates to lead Japanese industry in collaboration, innovation, and entrepreneurship, policy suggests that technical fields must teach knowledge in the humanities and social sciences. Interdisciplinary studies are valued for the development of critical thinking, a broader perspective from other fields of study, and the ability to translate ways of thought between different fields. In today’s information driven society, technological advances in computing, communications, information handling, etc. have become strongly integrated into our everyday lives. This research will examine “next generation competencies” needed to carry out this vision. Where Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education has traditionally focused on technical skills and knowledge, this paper will look at the potential role and benefits of incorporating interdisciplinary education into these technical studies.
