TCカレッジ設立にあたって

We have introduced a system to certify engineers with high technical and research planning abilities as technical conductors (hereinafter referred to as TCs). TCs are human resources who can work with faculty members to create a research environment that supports their research ideas. TC is a title that makes such human resources visible. Furthermore, we established the Tokyo Tech TC College and positioned it as a base for training highly technical professionals capable of research planning and management, which will become the pillar of our next-generation human resources strategy. We have started a specialized course. In the future, we will further aim to form a research support human resources training network centered on TC College. We ask for the cooperation and support of everyone involved.

As a researcher in space chemistry, I was responsible for the mission to analyze the return samples from the asteroid probe "Hayabusa". I was shocked by the outstanding skills of the technical staff who assisted me in this mission, and I still vividly remember how many times they helped me with their wonderful skills and knowledge.

In fact, the existence of such highly skilled technical personnel is known only to a small number of people involved, and there is no nationwide network. In addition, the training of highly skilled technical personnel at universities and other institutions has been dependent on the individual, has not been implemented as an organization, and has rarely been passed on to the next generation. Furthermore, in light of the global situation, the training of highly skilled technical personnel is now recognized as a major issue common to industry, academia, and government, and is also recognized as such in terms of policy.

TC College is an "innovative all-Japan human resources development system" that anticipates such social needs and creates a systematic curriculum through industry-academia-government collaboration. The mission of TC College is to provide opportunities for engineers from all over the country to work together in friendly competition, deepen their expertise, and acquire a broad range of knowledge to further expand their activities, improve their abilities, and advance their careers. The experience of sharing your knowledge and experiences, assembling equipment as a team, and interacting with your fellow students will surely provide you with food for the future.

Just like the technical staff who helped me and led me to the world's best research, I will cultivate human resources with high technical expertise across industry, academia, and government who can shine with vigor. We look forward to seeing you at TC College.
