| Research Abstract |
By not having an entrance examination for university, students at technical colleges are able to freely generate new ideas. In order to take advantage of this unique attribute, we have established a curriculum that fosters students' creativity. The ideas generated by students involved in this program have inspired multiple patent applications.
Students have applied for 24 patents in a five-year period. Since utilizing a patent is more important than simply possessing a patent, we have created multiple products through the application of these patented ideas. Thus far, we have successfully completed and marketed two products.
In the process of creating these goods, students became highly motivated and developed their creativity. The potential of students has dramatically expanded with the arrival of the information age. The capabilities of students, however, are not being demonstrated in the present educational system. In defiance of the present system, the education at a technical college makes the most of students' independent ideas, enabling demonstrations of potential and allowing a new generation of patents.
Their patents are likely to be practical, ideal for products, and profitable. Part of the profit gained through these patents has been voluntarily returned by student inventors, which in turn has supported other student's creative activities. In this way, a so-called intellectual creativity cycle was formed.
An education that integrates the use of patents in a technical college atmosphere, especially in the information age, helps to draws out a student's capabilities. This also allows them to become highly motivated, creative students. A technical college education that applies patents will ultimately help innovate education in Japan.
