Comment

I found the QREC lectures more exciting than other classes. It was fun to collaborate with various people in group work, and it was also gratifying to receive proper feedback on our presentations. It was also inspiring to hear people who are running successful businesses talking about what they dreamed about, what they were wondering about, and what decisions they made. Of course, it was not only fun, but I also think it was meaningful for me because I was able to take on new challenges and gain basic knowledge for my work.

If you’re like me, when you pick up a QREC pamphlet, you probably look at it thinking how amazing and cool it is, and QREC never betrays that sense of elation. Please find lots of interesting lectures.

There is no better way to learn than to actually try.

• Global Challenge & Creation (G.C&C) (2015) (awarded the highest technical award)

Comment

Although he came up with the idea for a testing device in high school, even experts said it was “unreasonable.” It was C&C that seriously reviewed this idea without the preconceived notion that I was just a first-year undergraduate, and gave me the opportunity to take on the challenge. QREC gave me an irreplaceable time and place to bring this idea to fruition.

In addition, they not only gave me the opportunity to realize my goals, but also supported me to step up to work domestically and overseas. In the end, we were approached by a QREC C&C judge, which led to the establishment of Nippon Wind Tunnel Manufacturing Co., Ltd., a manufacturer of wind tunnel testing equipment that currently supports aerodynamic design in Japan. At QREC, I also learned the importance of a team, which led to the current company organization. I believe there is no better way to learn than by actually doing it. QREC’s program provides a one-stop opportunity for this.

If you are trying to “design your own learning” the more you read this student’s comments, I think that you will have a happy and comfortable life in the future. However, it is a fun life without any inconvenience. If you don’t want to be satisfied with this, try S.I.P, a student life where you can fail or succeed, and I guarantee you a better life. If you don’t try, there will be no success or failure. Unfortunately, all classes other than S.I.P do not provide opportunities to learn through serious challenges.

I have failed more than anyone else at S.I.P, and because I have seriously worried each time, I am now able to make changing society my life’s work. The excitement of changing society together. We look forward to your challenge.

Comment

I participated in the S.I.P program every year for six years from when I was a first-year undergraduate until I graduated, and with the support I received, I took on the challenge of realizing my ideas.
For me, I feel that S.I.P is a place that gives me a chance to put ideas into action and connect them to the real world, even if I come up with an idea that seems to be lost on my own. .
My own efforts have not been consistent from the beginning, and although my ideas have changed over and over again, I have received support each time, leading to the current social implementation.
I believe that by just taking that first step of participating in the program, your ideas and your own possibilities will expand endlessly!

Where you can try out your ideas

Course History

• New Business Creation (2020)
• Entrepreneurship Bootcamp (2020)
• Challenge & Creation (2021)

Comment

I wanted to study something other than the mechanical engineering course, so I enrolled in the technology marketing game course. The teachers were kind, and many of the students who took the course were also highly motivated.
Courses like QREC’s New Business Creation and Bootcamp helped me turn my ideas into a more practical form.
For me, QREC is a place that accepts new ideas, and I think you could call it a sandbox where you can try out ideas. I think that is QREC’s selling point.
I am applying what I have learned from the QREC program to my real life. If you have never taken a course at QREC, we recommend the following lectures:

1. New business creation
2. Technology marketing game
3. Global Seminar(English)
