Committing to a Vision: TDU Vision 2028
In line with the evolving societal landscape, TDU is launching its five-year medium-term plan, 'TDU Vision 2028,' starting from 2024. The goal is to continuously create value through education, research, and social contributions. The key initiatives of this plan are as follows:
University Level: Reforming Science and Engineering Education
TDU aspires to be recognized as a leader among science and engineering universities, promoting advanced education and research. Central to this effort is the establishment of a liberal arts educational framework focused on science and engineering. This approach aims to develop not only specialized knowledge but also crucial human skills and social perspectives. TDU is prioritizing the enhancement of students' learning environments and campus life by reviewing class schedules and implementing educational reforms.
Middle and High School Level: Fostering Inquiry in STEM Education
At the middle and high school levels, TDU promotes a philosophy of 'living life as a human being.' The institution aims to nurture each student's individuality, enabling them to develop rich human qualities, high intelligence, and healthy bodies. This holistic development prepares students to thrive in a changing world and earn trust and respect within the international community.
To achieve this, TDU emphasizes the development of thinking, judgment, and expression skills, alongside knowledge and ability acquisition, in accordance with the new educational guidelines. After-school learning support programs are designed to encourage autonomous learning, and collaborative efforts among middle, high school, and university educational frameworks are enhancing STEM education to cultivate talents supporting Japan's scientific and technological advancements.
Supporting Dreams: The Vision of Tokyo Denki University
TDU is committed to supporting the dreams of every student and connecting their potential with societal needs. The aim goes beyond acquiring technical skills; TDU seeks to foster personal growth that allows individuals to contribute meaningfully to society.
Each incremental achievement contributes to the future envisioned by TDU.
As TDU forges ahead, the institution continues to embrace new challenges, always striving towards realizing the vision of a 'shining academy.' Through dedicated efforts, TDU will remain a beacon of hope and opportunity for aspiring innovators and contributors to our society.
