From August 18 to August 31, 2024, Toyohashi University of Technology (TUT) conducted two overseas training programs supported by the National Institute of Technology (KOSEN) for KOSEN students from all over Japan and our university, mainly in our overseas base in Malaysia (TUT- Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) Technology Collaboration Centre in Penang; TUT-USM Penang).

A total of 84 students participated in the two-week "Project Hand-on Training Program" and one-week "Cross-Cultural Training Program" including 62 students from 19 KOSEN, 13 TUT undergraduate students and nine TUT master's students as facilitators. During the training, they participated in lecture given by the Consulate-General of Japan in Penang, English language training, a hackathon program at USM, interacted with local Jit Sin High School (Cluster School of Excellence) students and broaden their exposure in engineering by visiting different types of companies in Penang. In addition, they were given a tour around the George Town area, a World Heritage Site. In their feedbacks, the participants commented, "It was a fulfilling program and enhanced my experience.", "I'm glad I was able to make friends with many students from other KOSEN", "I was unsure of my career path, but I decided I wanted to enroll in TUT", and "I hope this training will continue in the future." This program will be further improved and will continue in the future.
