After the holiday week in May, the activities of research and education at the Graduate School of System Design and Management (SDM) intensified. Firstly, Design Project ALPS (Active Learning Project Sequence) started, and interesting themes related to long term safety and security were presented in the first workshop and students, mainly the 1st year in master’s course, started to work on their assigned subject. I would like to thank all of the organizations for proposing themes and for participating in ALPS.
Secondly, we had more frequent international collaborations. Professor Leifer from Stanford University gave a special lecture titled “Dancing with Ambiguity”, Dr. Beiter from Stanford University and Professor de Weck from MIT were involved in the aforementioned ALPS, the partnership agreement with Istanbul Technical University has been concluded, and Second TPM (Delft University of Technology, Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management) /SDM workshop was held at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). Education and research activities at SDM shift into full swing around this time of the year, and all faculty members are deeply involved with their students. We appreciate your continued support.
