ナンヤン理工学院(シンガポール)より訪問団が来学しました
2017年11月28日、本学の交流協定締結校のナンヤン理工学院(シンガポール)より、副学院長Mr. Edward Ho及び工学部の先生方(Mr. Lam Yook Ming、Mr. Wong Chin Sai Raymond、Mr. Yeo Boon Pu)の4名が来学し、今後の交流の可能性について意見交換をしました。
On November 28th, Deputy Principal Mr. Edward Ho and 3 faculty members from School of Engineering (Mr. Lam Yook Ming, Mr. Wong Chin Sai Raymond and Mr. Yeo Boon Pu) from Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) visited SCU and had a discussion with president Ohgi and professors from 3 schools about possible collaboration between NYP’s School of Engineering and SCU.
NYPの工学部では様々な分野で活用する技術を研究していますが、保健医療福祉分野で活かせるテクノロジーについては高齢者や障がい者の日常介助支援を目的に、現在NYPで取り組んでいる介助テクノロジープロジェクトを紹介していただきました。
There are a variety of technological research and projects at NYP’s School of Engineering including healthcare and welfare fields. Because SCU specializes in these fields, NYP’s faculty members presented some of their projects for assistive technologies for supporting daily life for elders and people with disabilities.
将来のコラボレーションの可能性としては、本学の社会福祉学部を中心にテクノロジーを介護に活かす研究や学生・教員交流についての話し合いを行いました。すでに長い交流がある看護学部やリハビリテーション学部に加え、新しく始まる社会福祉学部との交流に期待が高まりました。
Faculty members from both schools discussed about collaborative research and student/faculty exchange we could possibly have in the future. In addition to the long relationship School of Nursing and School of Rehabilitation Sciences have been having with NYP, both NYP and SCU are excited to have this possible collaboration with School of Social Work about welfare engineering.
