Both in Italy and Japan, we’ve succeeded to develop manufacturing industry and agriculture; for example, design and/or manufacturing of automobiles, electrical devices, agriculture and local traditional foods in some areas. However, some important skills, knowledge and know-how haven’t well transferred for aging, different cultural background or a lack of successors, and then these were lost in some cases. Hence how to transfer these skills well is an important problem in the human resource development considering Industry 4.0 or SDGs, and we have been trying to find the solution. Your mission is to develop an innovative support system for skill transfer in the industrial fields with teamworking by Italian and Japanese students. In your proposal, a newly proposed idea is evaluated in various aspects quantitatively.

The supply of electricity is extremely important to support society today. To ensure a reliable supply, advanced control of generators is required, which maintains stable frequency and voltage. In this PBL, students can learn how generator control is carried out through the study of control engineering. Participating students will first use a kit to learn about control engineering. After understanding this, they will attempt to design a generator controller that will achieve a high-quality power supply. Since this experiment will be conducted at Shibaura Institute of Technology, sufficient discussion and division of roles will be necessary. This will be the 7th time the program has been held, and four schools have been selected with the aim of maintaining ongoing research relationships with graduates of our university, as was the case last time.

In recent years, however, the policy of reform and opening up has brought significant benefits to the nation, including the development of its land and infrastructure. On the other hand, urbanization has advanced, significantly impacting the country's cultural diversity.
This workshop aims to deepen understanding of Laos' traditional residential culture while promoting the sustainable use of traditional houses through renovations in rural communities, contributing to the sustainable revitalization of villages. Further老挝磨丁赌场_老挝赌场-中国竞彩网官网推荐, in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Luang Prabang, participants will engage in training on the preservation and restoration of historical buildings conducted by UNESCO, as well as explore sustainable utilization methods.

The PBL program for problem solving by social system science consists of two types: the first is a PBL in which students from Shibaura Institute of Technology go to Indonesia and try to solve problems faced by Indonesian small and medium-sized companies by using systems engineering, data science and design thinking approaches. The second is a PBL program in which students from Indonesia come to Shibaura Institute of Technology and propose businesses to solve social issues in the world. Through both programs, students will practice solving local and global issues and propose business models using systems engineering, data science and design thinking approaches.

Understanding French colonial rule is essential for exploring the residential culture of Southeast Asia, particularly in the Indochinese Peninsula. In Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam, colonial-era buildings remain integral parts of urban landscapes and hold significant cultural heritage value. Savannakhet, the focus of this PBL, is a colonial city in Laos located along the Mekong River. Historically, it served as a trade hub connecting Thailand and Vietnam and was heavily influenced by French colonial rule starting in the mid-19th century. The city features well-preserved French-style urban planning and numerous colonial buildings, which contribute to its unique charm. While these buildings are valuable tourist resources, many face significant deterioration and risk of loss. This PBL seeks to address these challenges by engaging in the restoration and preservation of these colonial-era cultural assets. The project also aims to explore sustainable methods for the regeneration and adaptive reuse of these structures, ultimately contributing to the promotion of local community development and tourism. By preserving and revitalizing this colonial architectural heritage, the project aspires to safeguard the historical and cultural identity of Savannakhet for future generations.

The ancient city of Chiang Mai in northern Thailand, once the capital of the historic Lanna Kingdom, is known for its unique architectural culture, rooted in the rich ecosystems that supported the monarchy. However, in recent years, rapid tourism development and ecological destruction have accelerated the loss of its cultural landscapes, including traditional buildings.
This workshop focuses on the concept of an eco-museum, which emphasizes preserving architectural and residential culture while enabling local residents to continue living in their communities. Participants will renovate traditional houses in both the outskirts and urban areas of Chiang Mai, transforming them into cultural hubs for the community. Through hands-on design-build activities and landscape projects, the workshop aims to restore local architecture and landscapes while contributing to the revitalization of the region's society.

Harajuku Station (Shibuya Ward), the Nakagin Capsule Tower (Chuo Ward), the Tokio Marine & Nichido Building (Chiyoda Ward)... There is no end to the demolition of heritage buildings in Tokyo. There are various reasons for demolition, such as redevelopment, deterioration, and lack of funds. In this workshop, we will focus on buildings in danger of demolition in Tokyo's historic districts as case studies, and investigate them from various perspectives based on literature, historical materials, interviews (with designers, owners, operators, and users), and fieldwork (survey, photography, video recording, and 3D measurement). Through the results of the research, the value of the buildings and the reasons for their demolition will be explored in depth. At the same time, discussions will be held with students and faculty from the National University of Singapore regarding the re-design, preservation, and utilization of heritage buildings in Tokyo, with the ultimate goal of developing a design proposal.
