Overview
The world will need to use technology to launch truly innovative, truly appropriate systems if it is to create societies that are easy on the environment and safe and secure for people. The Graduate School of System Design and Management at Keio University (SDM) seeks to train the "super engineers" who will lead the companies of the future in the development of the next generation of technology and social systems.
This symposium will feature discussions with panelists on what universities and companies can do to provide practical training to super engineers so that they are able to work from a deep mastery of their individual areas of expertise, but go beyond peripheral component technologies to develop broader understandings that enable them to view the big picture. We hope you'll join us for this opportunity to think about what will be required of the next generation of super engineers.
