Short-term incoming program<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For ten days from July 1 to July 12, 2024, the Faculty of Engineering hosted the Kobe University Engineering Summer School 2024 (hereinafter referred to as KUESS24), an intercultural education program welcoming short-term incoming students. After receiving more than 100 applications this year, 20 students from RMIT University (Australia) and Mahidol University (Thailand) participated in this short-term program. In addition, several students from the Global Challenge Program (GCP) of Kobe University\u2019s Faculty of Engineering have participated in this KUESS series each year. The Faculty of Engineering\u2019s GCP has developed a short-term study abroad program for second-year students visiting RMIT University around March. After being sent overseas, the students also actively interact with those in the inbound program in Kobe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2025 will mark the 30th<\/sup> anniversary of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, KUESS24 has adopted \u201cDisaster prevention and resilience\u201d as its basic theme. Specifically, under the title \u201cFeel the sea breeze and disaster resilience technologies in Kobe,\u201d KUESS24 consisted of lectures and laboratory tours by all six departments of the Faculty of Engineering, visits to private companies, research organizations, and engineering-related facilities, and workshops on the conception of communication tools to overcome language barriers in emergencies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the program, the participating students expressed different opinions about their engineering studies, their socio-cultural encounters, and the impact of the program on their individual career development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
