ICCEED

Activities in ICCEED

ICCEED aims to pioneer effective and efficient methods for bringing up researchers and experts who have enough knowledge and the competitive power in engineering field in developing countries. To accomplish this aim efficiently, we have two divisions: the Division of Network and Database Development and the Division of Project Development.

Division of Network and Database Development

In Division of Network and Database Development, we construct

• networks over the world for higher engineering education,
• human resource database for international cooperation and database on input and outcome data of the previous projects.

In this division we construct intellectual and human resource databases, make efficient and effective collaborations between organizations concerned both inside and outside of Japan, and form a consortium between universities, colleges of technology, academic societies, organizations concerned and private bodies.

Division of Project Development

In Division of Project Development, we develop

• effective engineering education projects for developing countries, collaborating with various international cooperation organizations,

and also establish

• evaluation methods for education projects.

In this division we construct development theory and methods of comprehensive and practical project development, considering an impact on socio-economic development, and develop evaluation methods for education projects, using quality control theory, system engineering, optimization theory and so on.

We develop more synthetic, more efficient and more effective ways to plan, operate and evaluate projects for engineering education development through activities mentioned above. Furthermore, we positively support governmental organizations, private organizations and non-governmental groups related to international cooperation for engineering education development, for the sake of smooth international cooperation implementation.

To conduct these international cooperation activities, we invite the members of the steering council from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, JICA, Association of National Colleges of Technology, National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies and other distinguish experts. They give us advice on basic policy, activity plans and other matters concerned in ICCEED. Besides, the steering committee, whose members are invited from TUT, discusses active plans decided by the council.

We will devote ourselves to international cooperation activities to foster a lot of skillful and sensible engineers in many developing countries.
