The Graduate School of Engineering and Faculty of Engineering at the University of Tokyo (Dean: Takao Someya) announced the launch of the “Metaverse School of Engineering” offering an education in the field of engineering utilizing digital technology with a focus on realizing a society where the latest information and practical engineering skills to fulfil personal goals become available to all.

Set to open in September, the university said it is aiming to attract over 100,000 participants to the school.

The “Metaverse School of Engineering” intends to provide a new learning environment and information about careers in engineering based on the basic concept of diversity and inclusion in the field of engineering. Our educational system is designed for people of every age, gender, position, and geography. We hope that our communication draws the interest of the underrepresented groups in the traditional engineering and information field, thereby accelerating the promotion of diversity in DX human resource development.

Major career information and educational programs offered by the Metaverse School of Engineering are:

(1) Comprehensive information site for engineering careers (Main target: junior high, high school students, and engineering students)
A comprehensive information website on engineering careers has been created to accelerate the promotion of diversity in the engineering field, including information on female engineering careers for which very few role models exist. Information from the perspective of the people involved in the field will be made available by means of campus visits, sharing simulated company entry experiences, and roundtable discussions.

(2) Junior Engineering Education Program (Main target: junior and senior high school students and their parents)
These are educational programs offered through industry and university collaboration to draw interest in the field of engineering and information at an early stage. Primarily targeting junior and senior high school students, our programs will combine online and in-person classes that introduce engineering studies at universities and help the students explore careers after graduation through hands-on exercises such as product development and laboratory tours.

(3) Reskilling Engineering Education Program (Main target: working professionals and students)
Aiming to support relearning and reskilling of working professionals and students, the program includes online educational programs on the latest trends in engineering and information in artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship education, next-generation communication, and other fields. A variety of courses will be offered in sequence to meet the needs and levels of the participants, and a certificate of completion will be issued for each course.
