In the face of recent globalization, there are so many issues that cannot be dealt with in a competitive community within Japan alone, and internationally-minded personnel having ability to negotiate with foreign countries are highly demanded. It is not enough just to have the Language skill and information providing ability to communicate with foreigners, but it is also essential to have the ability to produce a new social system or product by combining a strategy based on research ability and elemental technologies such as system design, and the ability to create new values. In genre 5 (Value creation skill), multi-faceted abilities, such as ability to have a future outlook and an international view, management ability for effectively using techniques and human resources and practical research and development ability are evaluated.

In genre 5 (value creation skill), score will be awarded for the results of various voluntary activities as follows. Paper presentation and academic conference presentation are not actually related to graduation recognition, but we will evaluate and certify the efforts made by the students who have been actively engaged in them. The score-assigning standard is common in the general framework of the School of Engineering, but details differ depending on each department. Each student should apply for the score other than the credits for subjects. Certified activities and score of each department will be approved by the Institute of Engineering Education.
