Global Resource Management Program
The Global Resource Management (GRM) program is designed to help graduate students with diverse academic backgrounds acquire advanced literacy at the graduate level through "cross-disciplinary education" that transcends the boundaries of their own graduate school and nationality.
Literacy here is not simply the ability to read and write. It refers to the ability to interpret issues and make independent judgments by using learned knowledge and information.
Course Features: What is expected of the students?
-To be a person who can overcome difficulties together with diverse others-
GRM program features the following points.
Feature.1
Acquire "Wisdom" and "Literacy"
to overcome difficulties
We live in an uncertain, complex, and ambiguous society today, where the future is even more difficult to predict. In the GRM program, students acquire the "Wisdom" to overcome challenging situations through application of science and practical human skills, as well as "Literacy" to tackle difficulties with other people.
Feature.2 Learn on the field and learn from the field
Since the establishment of the program in 2012, the GRM program has consistently emphasized field visits and exposure to local realities. Students experience the difficulties of the real world in the field and find their current abilities. From this experience, they will think deeply about what they should learn in the program and what abilities they should acquire in the future. The students learn both in the field and in the classroom. This has been the principle of the GRM program.
Feature.3
Study in English
with students of different backgrounds
In the GRM program, students of various nationalities study together. Although classes and student presentations are conducted in English, many students who are not fluent in English take the courses. Communication across languages and cultures might be difficult at first, but students improve their skills by challenging themselves repeatedly.
Feature.4 Leads to post-graduate career development
Students will acquire fundamental skills as graduate students from a different perspective than the expertise they acquire at their graduate school. The knowledge and multifaceted viewpoints acquired in the GRM program will be very useful for your career development after completing the graduate school.
The goal of the Global Resource Management program
Fostering “Engineers and Innovators with Conscience”
The GRM program develops human resources with "Wisdom" that combines science and technology, as well as "Conscience" to understand people, in other words, "Con-Engineers and Innovators". They are nurtured with approaches from both science and engineering, and the humanities and social sciences.
