 Purpose and aim
 Related projects

To enhance online classes by recording classroom lectures, digitizing class content through LMS (Learning Management System), and making lectures on-demand through studio recording. In addition, we will enhance interactive, problem-discovery/solution-oriented education by effectively combining face-to-face classes and online classes.
In addition, from the first year, individualized direct instruction will be strengthened through the development of student-participatory classes, such as student presentations and debates, mainly in seminars and exercises. In addition, project-based classes will provide more opportunities for students to discover and solve problems in groups.

Furthermore, in today’s globalized society, there is a growing need for courses to be provided in a style like this in order to allow students to develop the ability to think for themselves and provide logical explanations for problems that have no correct answers.

Given this, a key mission for universities is to focus on the multifaceted nature of globalization as well as the global, regional, national, and local levels of governance to implement a style of education and research based on identifying and solving problems.
