What is JUACEP?
In 2011, the Graduate School of Engineering at Nagoya University was awarded the
"Re-Inventing Japan Project" grant by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, and
Technology (MEXT), along with six other Japanese universities. The grant supports the
internationalization of higher education based on the "New Growth Strategy,“ whose
objective is to provide Japanese University students with more international
experience. The Graduate School of Engineering at Nagoya University calls their
unique program the Japan-US Advanced Collaborative Education Program (JUACEP).
Nagoya University
Nagoya University is one of the top research universities in Japan. There have been 5
Nobel laureates from Nagoya University in the last decade including 2014 (Profs.
Akasaki and Amano for blue LED innovation). From engineering aspects, Nagoya is
located in the Tokai area which is considered a hub for Japanese technology. There are
a variety of multinational industrial companies and the School of Engineering has
strong intercommunion with them, in terms of both people and research.
Student Exchange
JUACEP's primary focus is research-based education for graduate students. The
exchange students stay at partner universities as visiting scholars and conduct
independent research. Students will stay at Nagoya University for 2.5 months. JUACEP
offers scholarships not only to Nagoya University students to study in the USA but also
to American University students to study in Nagoya. Qualified students can get a
scholarship of 80,000/m. At the moment (2015), Nagoya University has formed
cooperative relationship with the University of Michigan and the University of
California Los Angeles (UCLA).
