NIT Anan College, National Institute of Technology, Japan
The goal we hope to achieve is to educate students who have sufficient knowledge and skills in the
engineering field; who can actively contribute to the local and global societies; and who have leadership
and communication competency. Applying the CDIO Initiative framework to our curriculum, we hope
to accelerate the refinement of our programs. The local manufacturing industries require that students
should be cultivated to acquire independence and responsibility. From a global perspective, the
understanding of diversity is also important for global engineers. We would like our students to acquire
those key skills when studying at our college.
We welcome these new members and the expansion of the CDIO initiative in region Asia.
