Shibaura Institute of Technology (SIT) is a highly-ranked
science and engineering university in Tokyo.
Here at SIT we aim to carry forward the spirit of
'Monozukuri' or craftsmanship, contribute to global innovation
through our cutting-edge research in science and technology,
and foster a culture of diversity in everything we do.
SIT promotes these values by welcoming international students
from our global network of partner universities, creating a vibrant,
multicultural campus where students engage daily with
peers from diverse cultural and academic backgrounds.
Innovative Global Program (IGP) at SIT's
College of Engineering aims to prepare students
to be the next generation of science and technology specialists,
with the skills to contribute to their fields as global engineers.
The IGP enhances the learning experience for English-speaking
and international students by providing them with various tools
to design their own unique Honors Program based
on their interests.
Right from the start of the program,
first-year students are involved in research projects
and learn actively through mentorship in the laboratory of
their chosen major (Research-Based Learning).

As soon as students join the program, they begin to get hands-on experience in laboratory Research-Based Learning, mentored by their laboratory supervisor & faculty advisers in their major. Research-Based Learning continues throughout four years in the Program. Students are guided by a supervisor and advisers to create an interdisciplinary major by combining selected courses that fit their individual learning needs. First-year students can start researching a theme or a specific issue and formulate a specific curriculum accordingly.

From their second year, students are given the opportunity to undertake labrotations, spending short periods in laboratories of various disciplines to acquire interdisciplinary knowledge of other fields.
Students can gain a broad perspective on science and engineering while learning to solve problems using a variety of approaches characteristic of each field.

Students aim to present their own research results at an International Conference at least once during their studies. For the Graduation Thesis Program, from third year, they form their own team, plan and conduct research, confirm their results with experts inside and outside their field, and disseminate their results to society by presenting their research at international conferences.

While undertaking Research-Based Learning, students also
study foundational science courses, required specialized
subjects and other disciplines to ensure they gain
the deep understanding needed for advanced research.
The capacity to demonstrate international teamwork and
leadership is fostered by incorporating presentations and
discussions. The curriculum is also structured to ensure
that each graduate also carries the Program’s core values of
ethics, respect for diversity, and social contribution into
their careers.
