Special Measures of “International Fiber Engineering Course”
Shinshu University Global COE has been selected as one of the Global COEs (in the field of chemistry and material science) in 2007, under a program title of “International Center of Excellence on Fiber Engineering” in the period of Year 2007 to 2011.
The objectives of the Global COE Program are to further strengthen the education and research capabilities of graduate schools in Japan and to train creative researchers who can lead the world in cutting edge research environment by establishing internationally competitive universities in Japan through strategic support of world-class education and research centers.
Therefore, the program, “International Center of Excellence on Fiber Engineering” aims at fostering excellent young researchers who are world-leading in the field of fiber engineering. In addition, the “International Fiber Engineering” course was established for the students in the “Department of Bioscience and Textile Technology” and other students attending Ueda Campus to be an international hub for research, education, and human resources in the discipline of “Fiber Engineering.” Students who complete the course subjects are conferred with a Certificate. The University implements special measures as an assistance for the students who take the course as listed below.
