[Department of International Development
Engineering]
The department was established in 1999 to
support human being welfare in technical aspect. For the purpose, the realistic
and efficient development of underdeveloping countries, where basic human needs
are not sufficiently provided, have to be done. On the other hand, many
problems of engineering such as environmental problems are widely related to
international affairs and many engineering fields. For example, in case of
global warming, CO2, which a country discharges, effects all of the
world. Furthermore, without transferring such effective technologies to
underdeveloping countries, the problem is never solved. In order to provide
solutions for such a widely related problem, the department consists of the
fields of chemical, mechanical, electric and information, and civil
engineerings. And we study with the external organization such as Japan
International Cooperation Agency in order to solve the problems in the
international development.
Our purpose in education is that the
students become engineers who have ability, courage, and leadership, and can
solve the problems. The curriculum, according to the purpose, is provided to
the students. The globalized generation is required to be a specialist beyond
the border of the nation and the academic field.

Introduction and Aim |
|||
|
The meaning of
“development” in the context of international development had evolved during
the past 30 years. A variety of international organizations as well as bilateral
aid organizations all over the world participated in different areas of
development. At the same time, the measurement and/or indicators of
“development” faced significant changes. By all means, the management of
international development projects is not a simple task. There is no “best
manual” to follow. Recent development projects require more integration of
different fields, such as education, health, industry, economy, engineering,
law and others. Given this background, it is increasingly important that
professionals must understand and be able to design practical approaches to
overcome various kinds of problems. These approaches often require the
participants to create effective working relationships with practitioners in
other field, governments, and organizations. This process involves a series
of analysis and compromise. This course aims at
introducing practical approaches to development projects. Traditional
teaching in the classroom based on lectures and exams, often do not address
the need for practical, problem-solving skills. The important and crucial
ability for effective project management is the ability to think, analyze,
discuss, and develop solutions to problems as professionals may encounter in
the field. The case method is an effective approach to strengthening these
skills A case method uses a story, based on actual events. A teaching case is a story about “the real world” and it is discussion-based and experiential. The students are expected to use cases: 1) to become competence and confidence in critical, analytical thinking; and 2) to develop the skills of argument and persuasion. The students are responsible to prepare, to contribute, and to express own opinions and ideas. This means, the students’ participation in classroom makes a difference. In order to enhance interest in development arena and to promote exposure to different areas of development, case materials in this course cover various fields of development projects. |

Introduction and Aim |
|||
|
In main stream theory of
development, development measured by “economic growth” was the main theme.
The meaning of “development” in the context of international development had
evolved during the past 30 years. From the lessons of 1980s, particularly
represented by failures and mistakes in development field in Africa and Asia,
“sustainable development” has become underlying concept to plan, implement
and evaluate the development practices. In 1990, United Nations Development
Program (UNDP) produced Human Development Indicators and gained world
attention. This is to measure “development” from various aspects centering
“human”. In this context, recent development projects require more
integration of different fields, such as education, health, industry,
economy, engineering, law and others. Given this background, it is
increasingly important that young engineers must understand and be able to
design sustainable development projects/programs to overcome precedent
problems in development. These approaches often require the participants to
create effective working relationships with practitioners in other field,
governments, and organizations. This course aims at introducing various approaches to sustainable development. The first half of the course looks at major theories of international development and how they are applied in practical situations. The latter part will take a close look at on-going development projects in selected countries with implication of role of engineering (and engineers). The students are expected to participate in discussion and analyze the project from engineering point of view within the context of “Sustainable Development” Then the course will be followed by the field trip to the development project site, possibly for conducting feasibility studies. The students are responsible to prepare, to contribute, and to express own opinions and ideas. This means, the students’ participation in classroom makes a difference. |
