TOKYO INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY International Program for Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering (IPISE) Japan has led the world in science and high-tech industry and it is to be expected that it offers a high level of graduate studies in science and engineering. Interdisciplinary knowledge and insights, which are free from traditional disciplines, are needed to overcome today s problems, especially regarding the environment and energy. The solutions to these challenging problems are not presented in textbooks. The IPISE program provides an adequate environment needed for promoting and training the capabilities of human resources to find solutions to these global problems. IPISE is an integrated doctoral program for 5 years (standard). It has three courses: materials science, environment and energy, and information systems. Through interdisciplinary education and research, we aim to develop students who can think globally and who will have strong problem-solving capabilities. IPISE is backed by the Japanese government with 12 MEXT scholarships for international students. The first step towards international understanding is to bring students from different countries together and allow them to get to know each other's culture and way of thinking, as well as respect it. To realize this, IPISE builds an environment in which students from various countries (culturally and economically diverse) learn together. A program running in parallel with IPISE is organized for Japanese students. The collaborative learning environment provides a good opportunity for students to acquire a global perspective and deepen their insights, which are necessary for studying today's science and technology developments in depth. - 7 -
