Kansei EngineeringKansei education: Teaching lifetime learning skills for knowledge workersDepartment of Advanced Textile and Kansei EngineeringThe key to successful learning is management of the following equation: Motivation × Strategy × Time on task = Results. I study how to set up learning environments for new skills such as languages, including English, Japanese, Chinese, and Maori, or hand-eye coordination skills such as kendama and juggling. If inputs are carefully measured, it is possible to monitor progress and aim for optimal results. This is the art of kansei: matching the needs and wants of the user in a meaningful way.Michael HonywoodAssociate ProfessorStudents build teamwork and innovation skills in the “Marshmallow Challenge.” My lab’s original interactive multimedia software helps students learn English more eectively.Associate Professor Honywood has studied in Australia, Canada, South Korea, Japan and the United Kingdom. He has worked as an associate professor at Shinshu University since 2003, and his principal area of research is kansei education.Students start with a real-life phenomenon, identify a problem, brainstorm potential solutions, and then research one solution to gauge its eectiveness. They gain a wide variety of experience in basic research, education, and presentation skills.Outlook for researchGraduates have gone on to a wide variety of jobs. Thanks to prociency in both Japanese and English, some have found work at multinational corporations, which require good English skills.Outlook for students after graduationKansei EngineeringDeveloping materials that can be used safely without harming people or the environmentDepartment of Advanced Textile and Kansei EngineeringI am working to develop materials that can be used safely without harming people or the environment by using biomass plastics made from renewable resources such as sugars and plant oils as well as biodegradable plastics that are broken down in the environment through the action of microorganisms.Toshihisa TanakaAssociate ProfessorComposite ber materials are developed by creating high-tensile bers from biodegradable polymers with numerous micropores and adding water-soluble polymers.An electron microscope is used to analyze the ne structure of a water-soluble polymer gel sheet designed to facilitate seed sprouting and growth to assist in aorestation of arid regions.Associate Professor Tanaka took his current position in 2007 after working as a researcher for a project of the Japan Science and Technology Corporation’s Core Research for Evolutional Science and Technology and later as a doctoral research fellow at RIKEN.My goal is to develop products that are compatible with living organisms (humans), including medical materials (suture materials, cell cultivation sheets, and surgical dressings), health and nursing products (sheets and lters for cosmetics), sheets that transform sea water into fresh water, and even aorestation sheets for use in arid regions.Outlook for researchGraduates work not only at material and manufacturing companies involved in materials development, but also in many other industries, particularly textiles.Outlook for students after graduation16
