SECTION SUMMARY A-1 Section Highlights The IEEE Kansai Section was established in November 1998. As of January, 2014, it comprises of 2,355 members (see B-1). In 2013, we had five executive committee meetings, an annual section meeting and six technical meetings. Most of the 11 technical chapters in the section were active. The newly formed LMAG (Life Members Affinity Group) made a good start in 2013. We filed a petition to form WIE Affinity Group in October, 2013, which was approved in January, 2014. From the section, three IEEE milestones were proposed and two of them have been approved and are waiting for dedication ceremonies. CE (Consumer Electronics) Society Kansai Chapter is reformed as CE Society West Japan Joint Chapter. In 2014, we already had an annual section meeting and two executive committee meetings.

  • FY2016 Results of Accreditation

    FY2016 Results of Accreditation

    Results of Accreditations Performed by the Japan University Accreditation Association July 31, 2017 Introduction In 2002, the Certified Evaluation and Accreditation System was introduced in Japan (enforced in 2004), obligating all higher education institutions (universities, junior colleges and technical colleges) to undergo an evaluation once every 7 years, and all professional graduate schools to undergo an evaluation once every 5 years as well. In each case, the evaluating agency certified by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) conducts the evaluation process, comprehensively assessing the level of education, and other areas. Since its establishment in 1947, the Japan University Accreditation Association (JUAA) has played a significant role in assuring the quality of higher education. On August 31, 2004, the JUAA was authorized by the Minister of MEXT as the first Certified Evaluation and Accreditation Agency for universities. Authorization for its Certified Evaluation and Accreditation later expanded to several other fields. The JUAA currently performs Certified Evaluation and Accreditation in 8 fields (university, junior college, law school, professional graduate business school, professional graduate public policy school, professional graduate school of public health, professional graduate school of intellectual property studies, and professional graduate school of global communications) and the accreditation for school of veterinary medicine. JUAA has just finalized the results of accreditations for FY 2016 as follows. FY 2016 University Accreditation (Certified Evaluation and Accreditation for University) Results On accepting applications for University Accreditation from 56 universities, the JUAA has undertaken the evaluative process. The evaluation including document-analysis and site-visit has been conducted by the University Accreditation Committee with subcommittees.

    1 07 Turmoil at the End of the Edo Period and the Shinagawa Daiba Battery

    1_07 Turmoil at the End of the Edo Period and the Shinagawa Daiba Battery Turmoil at the End of the Edo Period and the Shinagawa Daiba Battery Growing External Threats and the Arrival of Commodore Perry From the end of the 18th century, many foreign ships began passing through the waters of Japan. With a growing sense of alarm, the Edo shogunate increased its coastal vigil throughout Japan, but as the number of foreign ships continued to grow, many incidents began to occur. The arrival of the U.S. naval squadron led by Commodore Matthew C. Perry in June 1853 in Edo Bay, the shogun’s very own backyard, was a major incident that shook the Edo shogunate to its core. Construction of the Shinagawa Battery To strengthen the defenses of Edo Bay, the Edo shogunate set about building 11 marine batteries from Shinagawa to Fukagawa Suzaki (present-day Koto City, Tokyo). Egawa Tarozaemon Hidetatsu, the daikan administrator of Nirayama in the Izuno Province (present-day Izunokuni City, Shizuoka Prefecture), directed the construction of the batteries based on documents from Europe. Due to a number of factors, including financial difficulties, however, only six batteries in total were completed, the Number One to Three batteries, Five and Six, and the shore-side Gotenyama Battery. Foreign Embassies at Gotenyama In 1858, Japan concluded treaties with the five nations of the United States, Holland, Russia, Britain and France, and it was decided that Edo would host foreign ambassadors, which led to the construction of embassies. This triggered attacks on foreigners by samurai who held anti-foreigner sentiments.

    COVER STORY • “Amazing Tokyo” — Beyond 2020 • 2 pecial Economic Zones of Metropolitan Tokyo SBy National Strategic Special Zone Team, Office of the Governor for Policy Planning, Tokyo Metropolitan Government What Are the Special Economic Zones designated as the Tokyo Area National Strategic Special Zone by the of Metropolitan Tokyo? national government in May 2014 (Map). The zonal policy of the Tokyo Area National Strategic Special Zone Currently, there are two types of Special Economic Zones that the states that, “with the hosting of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Tokyo Metropolitan Government is working on. Paralympic Games, the Special Zones aim to attract capital, human The first is the Special Zone for Asian Headquarters which resources and companies to formulate an international business hub, received designation by the national government as one of the and also create new and internationally competitive businesses in Comprehensive Special Zones for International Competitiveness. such fields as drug development, through start-up companies and Amongst the many cities in Asia, Tokyo stands out as having rich innovation.” With this zonal policy in mind, the Tokyo Metropolitan resource potential in business, society, and culture. But the number Government is working to make Tokyo an open and global business of foreign companies has been sharply decreasing from its peak in city. 2005, and the Global Power City Index is showing that the gap between Tokyo and its rival foreign cities has been shrinking. Under Concrete Measures & Merits such circumstances, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government believes of Special Economic Zones that bringing foreign human resources, information, and capital to Tokyo, and hence providing for economic development, will be The Special Zone for Asian Headquarters provides merits such as pivotal for Japan’s revitalization.
