Outline of CA program
Concept
The
realization of a carbon-neutral society and
the SDGs is a challenge common to all
humankind that the international
community must urgently tackle together. This
exchange program aims to nurture
international carbon zero-nization leaders who
will be active in industry,
government, and academia to collaborate in
creating a sustainable Asia of the
future. The program will go beyond
conventional research and education in
specific engineering fields to include
research programs that integrate
multiple problem-solving technologies,
educational programs on carbon
zero-nization and the SDGs from the
perspectives of economics, international
development studies, and other humanities and
sciences, international workshops
with debates in English, and other activities
to ensure quality assurance. The
program will be promoted through international
collaboration with quality
assurance. International
joint research and
international collaboration with Shanghai
Jiao Tong University (China), Korea
Maritime University (South Korea), and
Chulalongkorn University (Thailand),
which have been individually promoted by the
School of Engineering and Graduate
School of Engineering, Nagoya University,
and the "Global The exchange
program will be implemented by placing the
collaboration among the four
universities (abbreviated as "partner
universities") with quality
assurance at the center of the project,
based on the many achievements of
international collaboration in education and
research, such as the "Human
Resource Development Program for Basic Soft
Infrastructure" that links
Japan and ASEAN, which has been conducted by
several departments of Nagoya
University from FY2016 to FY2020.
Specifically, the program will consist of a
short-term educational program (1-3 months)
for undergraduate students of the
partner universities and a long-term
research program (6 months to 1 year) for
graduate students (master's and doctoral
courses), aiming for an organic
linkage of each exchange program. In light
of the Corona Disaster, the exchange
program will effectively utilize online,
actual travel, and a hybrid of online
and actual travel. The short-term program
will be positioned as an introduction
to the long-term program, and will include
summer internships in laboratories
(travel: short-term experiments in
laboratories, etc.), etc., and will be
implemented as an international joint
graduation program. In the long-term
program, a "Carbon Zero-Nization" research
cluster will be planned
and formed based on the multifaceted
perspectives of the four universities, and
problem-solving fusion research themes will
be set. The program provides
students with opportunities to experience
research from multiple perspectives
(actual travel, doctoral and master's thesis
review programs). Both short-term
and long-term programs will provide not only
lectures in the field of
engineering, but also curriculum such as
economics and international
development studies related to carbon
zero-non-irradiation (online; live
international classes). These efforts are
not limited to partner universities,
but also include Gifu University (Japan), a
member of the Tokai National
University Organization; National University
of Singapore (Singapore), a
partner university of Nagoya University;
Universitas Gadjah Mada Nasional
Indonesia (UGM) (Indonesia); Royal
University of Phnom Penh (RUPP), University
of Cambodia (Cambodia); and University of
the Philippines (Philippines).
(Cambodia), and the University of the
Philippines Los Banos (UPLB)
(Philippines) to participate in the workshop
(online and travel). The workshop
will provide a venue for full-scale debates
related to carbon zero-nization in
English between humanities undergraduate
students and science undergraduate and
graduate students studying economics and
international development studies and
native English-speaking students, and will
provide a field study opportunity
where the connection with society can be
viewed as a regional one rather than
simply a research and development one. The
workshop will be offered as a field
study opportunity that will not merely focus
on research and development, but
also on the regional nature of the
connection to society. Open workshops and
lectures to faculty and students of
cooperating institutions to encourage their
participation and promote the development of
overarching skills of graduate
students in engineering and science as well
as undergraduate students who wish
to enter doctoral programs. In addition,
internships with companies (online and
travel), etc. will be offered. Effective
exchange programs will be established
to realize the image of human resources to
be trained. Regarding
the framework for quality assurance, based
on the past
achievements of international cooperation
and a sense of mutual trust, a common
framework for quality assurance that
transcends differences in higher education
systems, mutual recognition of credits and
common grade management practices,
visualization of learning outcomes and
educational content, and a joint degree
quality assurance framework have already
been agreed upon with Chulalongkorn
University. We have already reached an
agreement with Chulalongkorn University
on a joint degree framework with quality
assurance, and we plan to establish an
objective and convincing quality assurance
framework with other partner
universities through careful
inter-university dialogue. By providing and
implementing multilateral exchange programs
from short-term (undergraduate
students) to long-term (graduate students)
with such quality assurance,
standardizing the international
collaboration system among multiple
universities and the methods of acceptance
and dispatch, and establishing an
international intercultural co-curricular
system and system, we will develop
leaders who will lead carbon zero emission
in Asia in the future. By
establishing an international intercultural
co-curricular system and system for
accepting and dispatching students, we will
develop leaders who will lead the
future carbon zero emissions in Asia, form a
network of inter-university
exchange, and further strengthen Nagoya
University's ability to expand globally.

Partners
Chulalongkorn University
Chulalongkorn University, founded in 1917, is the oldest and most prestigious national university in the Kingdom of Thailand. It currently has 19 faculties and numerous research facilities, and its campus is located in downtown Bangkok. The university was named after King Chulalongkorn the Great (Rama V) and was established by his successor, King Wachiraut (Rama VI).
Shanghai Jiao Tong University
Shanghai Jiao Tong University is a national comprehensive university directly under the Ministry of Education of the State Council of the People's Republic of China. It is a sub-departmental university and a national key university with particular strength in science and engineering, medicine, and social sciences. Located in Shanghai, it is famous for being the alma mater of Jiang Zemin. The Center for the Study of World-Class Universities of the Institute of Higher Education at the university is well known for its annual publication of the World Academic Ranking of World Universities. It also has several national key laboratories. It is a member of the Alliance of Nine Schools, 985 Engineering, 211 Engineering, and Two-First-Class.
Korea Maritime and Ocean University
Korea Maritime and Ocean University, located in Yeongdo-gu, Busan, is a national university of the Republic of Korea, founded in 1919 as Jinhae High Seamen's Training School, which was merged with Incheon Maritime University in 1947 to become National Maritime University, and renamed Korea Maritime University in 1956. Unlike other universities, all students are required to live in a dormitory for four years during their enrollment, and clothing and bedding are lent and provided by the Korean government. All students are required to complete a one-year basic education course, including onboard training, and those who pass a written exam for a maritime engineering license during their studies can obtain it upon graduation. The physical standards at the time of admission to the program have been significantly relaxed by making the program optional and applying the medical examination standards for seafarers. The company also sends students to the United States Merchant Marine Academy for a four-year program every year.
