また、教育プログラムも専門性に富んでおり、学んだ知識や技術を実際の社会で役立てることを重視した実践的な教育がなされている。産学連携やインターンシップ、実習なども充実しており、学生が実践的なスキルを身につける機会が提供されている。

The educational program is also highly specialized, with a practical education that emphasizes the use of the knowledge and skills learned in the real world. Industry-academia partnerships, internships, and practical training are also well developed, providing students with opportunities to acquire practical skills.

この福山大学の工学部より新たな研究実習棟の計画相談を頂いた。
産学連携、地域連携を掲げている通り、実際に企業の方の出入りもあり、地域との交流も盛んだ。今回のプロジェクトに伴い、研究実習棟としての役割はもちろん、この産学連携、地域連携を建物で体現する計画とした。

The Faculty of Engineering here at Fukuyama University has asked us to consult on plans for a new research and training building.
As the university has stated its commitment to industry-academia and community collaboration, there are actually people from companies coming in and out of the building, and there is a lot of interaction with the local community. The project was designed to embody this industry-academia and community collaboration in a building that would not only serve as a research and training building, but also as an example of such collaboration.

建物デザインは近代建築の原則に則ったデザインを踏襲。研究室や実習室といった必然的な機能は当然配置し、コミュニティとして機能するように開放的なホール空間を設けた。ホールには自然と人の流れが生まれる計画とし、企業や地域の方と共同で商品開発などが行えるオープンな工房も用意されている。

The building design follows the principles of modern architecture. While the necessary functions such as laboratories and training rooms are naturally placed, an open hall space was created to function as a community. The hall is designed to create a natural flow of people, and an open workshop is available for product development in collaboration with companies and local residents.

この建物が、起点となり工学部だけでなく福山大学として。企業、そして地域との結びつきがより強固になることを思い描いている。

This building will serve as a starting point for not only the Faculty of Engineering, but also for Fukuyama University. We envision that this building will serve as a starting point and strengthen the ties not only between the Faculty of Engineering, but also between Fukuyama University, businesses, and the local community.
