Effort of Kyutech and the Graduate School of Information Technology

Kyushu Institute of Technology (Kyutech) has already signed an agreement with the National University of Putra Malaysia (UPM), and since the establishment of the overseas education and research center "MSSC" in April 2013, we have established the Global Engineer Training Course (GE Course), a six-year integrated education program, and are actively engaged in this program, offering around 100 temporary staffing and exchange programs each year.

Prior to the establishment of the GE course, the Graduate School of Computer Science and Systems Engineering established the Global Informatics Leaders' Course to train information technology engineers who can work internationally. In addition, a course-module system (14 courses and 43 modules) was introduced in the Master's Program to provide a systematic guideline for students to take courses as a distinctive feature of the Graduate School of Computer Science and Systems Engineering. In particular, the project demand generation course has made a technical contribution to the region by working to solve problems in cooperation with other organizations such as companies and local governments. In 2018, the department was re-organized to form five departments and thirteen courses, with a major reorganization of not only education but also faculty and research fields, creating an environment that promotes education and research in AI/robotics, which is based on information technology and integrates a variety of technologies.

Exchange Program with Thai

Kyutech has a history of the interaction with Thai univesity for more than 10 years. Now Kyutech has more than 10 partners and conducts various exchange programs and joint research with them. Many Thai students from the partner universities have enrolled Kyutech for the post graduate courses. Aforementioned universities, we accept about 6-9 students every year for two months, between April to August. And we also send students to King Mongkut's University Technology of North Bangkok and King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Latkrabang for 10 days. In addition, Kyutech has established Bangkok office in 2019 with the objective of expanding cooperation in various area.

Exchange Program with Malaysia

Kyutech has an overseas education and research center, the MSSC, at UPM, and holds a joint symposium with UPM every year to promote active exchange. Among them, a workshop on agriculture was held at UPM in July 2016 with faculty members of the University's AI/robotics field, UPM, and the governmental MPOB (Palm Oil Board). Since then, we have collaborated to develop automatic equipment for palm plantations.

In 2019 Study Exchange and exchange student agreements were concluded with the Multimedia University. The first students exchange program took place in November in the same year.

Exchange Program with Italy

Kyutech is collaborating with the University of Salento (Italy) and a vineyard to conduct research on automated equipment for grape harvesting and soil surveys by doctoral students. In addition, we send 8 students every year on a short-term basis to attend lectures and workshops on vineyard research.
