Detailed Information/Report on Activities
In collaboration with partner universities mainly in the Mekong region, we conduct interactive exchange program that includes group work (GW) internships collaborated with Niigata regional companies.
In this program, students form cross-academic year, cross-disciplinary, and multinational student teams, which are the characteristics of “dormitory-type education” developed by the Faculty of Engineering, and conduct mainly GW internships. The program is offered in cooperation with companies that possess international development capabilities (including local subsidiaries in the Mekong region) and aims to foster global SciTech leaders capable of solving regional vitalization issues from an integrative standpoint.
