Think Globally:
-A new knowledge base for the Asia-Pacific region-Economic globalization demands an approach for manufacturing to consider the whole world. IPS, as a stateof- the-art educational research base for the Asia-Pacific region, fosters highly-specialized professional engineers required in the age of internationalization. -A cosmopolitan research community with many international students-Many international students from various countries in Asia and other regions are currently enrolled in IPS. It is a multicultural environment in which the exposure to different cultures and intellectual traditions naturally facilitates cosmopolitan viewpoints. -Promotion of research exchanges with leading overseas universities and research institutes-IPS actively pursues mutual cooperation and research exchanges with leading overseas universities such as Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Nanjing University, Zhejiang University, Fudan University, Thammasat University, UCB (University of California, Berkeley), EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne), KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology), National Taiwan University, Tsinghua University, and Indian Institute of Technology.
Act locally:
-Educational research that draws on Kitakyushu's manufacturing tradition-Kitakyushu City has a manufacturing tradition that dates back more than 100 years. Recently, it has been actively incubating the state-of-the-art system-LSI industry. IPS takes a distinctive approach to educational research that makes use of the advanced technologies and know-how accumulated in the region. -Cooperation with the business community helps to produce engineers with advanced practical skills-The industries in this region has rich human resources and experiences. IPS takes advantage of them for practical education, while providing recurrent education for people already pursuing careers to shuttle between the business communities and the graduate school. -Industry, academia, and government working together to create new industries in the region-Through participation in joint efforts of industry, academia, and government including the Kitakyushu Human Technology Cluster Plan and the Regional R&D Innovation Project, IPS returns the benefits and outcomes of its research to the region and contributes to the creation of new industries.
