In 2014, ISATE2014 was held at Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP). After attending, President Mitani of the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Ube College believed that NYP would be a good partner for international cooperation. In 2015, four teachers from NIT Ube College studied as overseas researchers at Nanyang Polytechnic. NYP and NIT Ube College carried out joint research and developed the student exchange program. In order to carry out a long-term exchange of students and teachers and develop a strong cooperative relationship, NIT Ube College and Nanyang Polytechnic concluded an agreement on academic exchange in February 2016.
Twenty-six students of Nanyang Polytechnic visited NIT Ube College on 28 March 2016. Five students of NIT Ube College stayed and studied at Nanyang Polytechnic for six weeks from 10 August to 23 September 2016. Four students from Nanyang Polytechnic stayed and studied as short-term international students between 3 October and 20 December 2016. We report the development of the student exchange program with Nanyang Polytechnic in detail in this paper. Based on the implementation of the student exchange program this year, we show the guidelines and offer suggestions for the possible enhancement of student exchange programs in the future.
