Graduate School of System Design and Management, Keio University INTRODUCTION Learn System Design and Management in English While Being in Japan —A Gateway to New Perspectives and Distinct Careers Broaden Your Horizons with World-Class, Cutting-Edge Knowledge The Graduate School of System Design and Management at Keio University (Keio SDM) pursues problem solving with a “systems” approach by capitalizing on a broad range of perspectives from the natural sciences as well as from the humanities and social sciences. Mid way between downtown Tokyo and Yokohama close to both by train, Keio SDM enables students to learn the world’s leading systems en- gineering and design thinking in both Japanese and English. Keio SDM has a diverse student population made up of various backgrounds, age-groups, and na- tionalities. Not all students have a background in natural sciences and engineering; and many are professionals who are working in Japanese enterprises and government organizations. At Keio SDM students have ample opportunities to broaden their views by studying alongside these individuals as they encounter diverse values and ways of thinking. About Keio University Keio University is among the most prestigious private universities in Japan. It was founded in 1858 by Yukichi Fukuzawa, a leader of modern Japan who is also known as the man portrayed on Japan’s 10,000-yen note. Many Keio alumni are successfully leading in a wide range of fields, including business, technologies, politics, and edu- cation. Being a Keio graduate is perceived as prestigious in Japan. 1 System Design and Management CONCEPT Nurturing Individuals Crisis Management Capable of Handling Large and Complex Systems beyond Boundaries Defense Marketing Risk Analysis DisasterRestoration International Diplomatic Politics and Cooperation Business Models System Economics UX Public Policy Systems Designer Communication System Cloud Innovation SNS Learn Systems Engineering and Modeling Internet Design Thinking Space System Model-based Systems Engineering Keio SDM deals with a multiplicity of large and com- plex systems. As we seek solutions, we make sure to Smart Grid Systems V & V Entrepreneurship consider social needs, such as environmental symbi- osis, safety and security, cutting-edge technologies, Systems Modeling Language (SysML) international cooperation, and crisis management. Two pillars of problem solving methods are em- Virtual Reality GIS ployed at Keio SDM. One is systems engineering, which was developed initially for the purpose of Next-generationMobility desiging large systems, including aerospace and Ubiquitous military systems. Now it has been extended to System include the social sphere. Keio SDM is the only Jap- Cutting-edge anese university participating in the Council of Engi- Robot neering Systems Universities (CESUN). Students can Technologies learn all about systems engineering from the basics to the cutting-edge at Keio SDM. 3 System Design and Management Environmental Intelligence Symbiosis NPO/NGO Tourism Policy Design Empathy Welfare Happiness Mobility System Deep Emotion/ Management Impression The second pillar is known as design thinking. It is a Local Autonomy/ Local Revitalization Regional (Doshu) System development method which uses techniques, such as fieldwork, brainstorming, and workshops, to gen- Project Leader erate ideas. Its aim is innovation through drawing Public Design out the creativity of participants. Energy Management System With systems engineering alone, it is difficult to accommodate different perspectives of multiple Sustainability Movie Music stakeholders for the purpose of innovation. Design thinking, on the other hand, tends to be weak at Medical and Pharmaceutical Systems taking a systematic approach to the shaping of ideas. Keio SDM has successfully created a develop- Systems for Universal Design CRM Culture and Art ment method which combines the two in a com- plimentary way. At Keio SDM students learn how Future Center Education Venture to create an optimal fusion of systems engineering and design thinking. This equips them with the ca- Medical Welfare Agriculture System pability of tackling large and complex systems. Social Enterprise Developing a Wealth of Skills Keio SDM nurtures future systems designers and Motivation Manufacturing Industry project managers who are capable of designing and managing multiple systems. One needs to have Human Machine System a diverse set of skills in order to coordinate with Safety/Security multiple stakeholders for the purpose of creating systems. Keio SDM offers a range of programs to produce individuals with a wide spectrum of skills and abilities. 4 CURRICULUM Knowledge and Experience —Both Essential for Developing Capability Foundation of Model-Based Systems Engineerin g Systems and Process Modeling and Management Frontier Project Managemen t Special Lecture Series on Design Science Major Subjects in Political, Practice of System Design and Design Science and Project Managemen t Economic and Business Systems Space System Engineering Program Management Spatial User Interface Recommended Service Engineering Basic Subjects Model-Based Conceptual Design and Management Entrepreneurship Design Theory Major Subjects Communications Network and Database Systems Our curriculum aims to build collective strengths by Marketing Management combining knowledge with experience.
