International students who came to Japan on the short-term program (summer) in 2023 to study at a laboratory in the Faculty of Engineering took Japanese classes by Japanese language instructors. The international students who participated this time were 12 students from Malaysia and 4 students from Taiwan.
The Japanese class was held twice, and in the first class they learned basic things such as greetings, self-introductions, and how to say the date and time in Japanese. In the second class, they will also practice practical conversations such as shopping situations.
On Tuesday, January 10, 2023, one international student participating in the short-term acceptance program came to Japan from National Yangming Jiaotong University in Taiwan. She will stay in the laboratory for one month, engaging in research activities and cultural exchanges with students in the laboratory.
The next day, she participated in an orientation session and received an explanation from the Faculty of Engineering staffs about precautions to be taken during her stay. In addition, International Collaboration Committee Chairman Nakahata gave a welcome speech, saying, “I hope that you will actively participate in research activities and events during your stay, interact with our students a lot, and spend a meaningful time. ”
On Thursday, November 17, 2022, a program completion ceremony was held for 10 Indonesian international students who participated in the short-term acceptance program of the Faculty of Engineering.
They stayed at our university for one month from late October, conducting experiments and research in the laboratory, and went sightseeing in Matsuyama City on their days off.
At the completion ceremony, each international student received a certificate of completion from International Cooperation Committee Chairman Nakahata. Members of the Faculty of Engineering’s International Collaboration Committee, faculty and students from the host laboratory also participated, giving a big round of applause to the international students who completed the program.
This year, with the cooperation of the Hijikawa River Emergency Flood Control Measures River Office, they visited two flood control construction sites on the Hijikawa River and received explanations from the workers. They had a very meaningful experience, learning about flood control measures that utilize Japan’s cutting-edge technology and actually checking the monitors of excavation machines.
The Graduate School of Science and Engineering (Department of Engineering) runs a short-term dispatch program as part of the international exchange program for graduate students. This year, we sent four students to Bandung Institute of Technology and two students to Gadjah Mada University in Indonesia.
We hold a report meeting every year by our dispatched students to share with other students the valuable experiences they gained while studying abroad. Approximately 30 people participated in the meeting, including faculty, students, and international students staying on a short-term program.
The six dispatched students reported on their experiences, and the participants listened intently to interesting stories such as activities in the research lab at the host university, local food, and interactions with local people. Questions were asked by the participants. Some students said that the bitter experience of being admitted to a local hospital while studying abroad during the coronavirus pandemic turned into an irreplaceable memory after receiving help from local people.
The dispatched students told the audience that It was an experience that could only be experienced by visiting the country and that they wanted other students to study abroad in this program while they still had the time.
