Technical Graduate Students |
|
|
 |
|
| Tokyo Region |

|
<October 8 and November 26,
2005>
The first research presentations by technical graduate students were held on Oct.
8 at Yanmarﾕs Tokyo Branch Office and Nov. 26 at Yanmarﾕs Head Office. The gatherings
are intended as a place for friendly exchange and learning from each other through
the presentation of their own research themes. Some were nervous in front of the
audience of researchers from diverse fields; others moved confidently straight
to the core points. Academic advisors afterwards gave useful advice and critiques.
The studentsﾕ hard work and zeal were obvious and made for two very fruitful meetings.

on the research presentations made by each scholarship student. |

Mr. Yamaoka, chairman of the board,
joined the convivial party afterwards.
He said: ﾒI also studied abroad, in America, so I know very well how you feel.
Experiences abroad are very precious. I know you have troubles studying in Japan.
I hope that you take this opportunity to peer into yourselves deeply, study about
Japan and tackle your research themes with great curiosity.ﾓ He also spoke personally
with every scholarship student during the happy party. |

On the second day of the workshop,
all visited the World Heritage sites of Kiyomizu Temple, Tenryuji Temple in Arashiyama
and Nijo Castle in Kyoto to delve more deeply into Japanese culture and enjoy
the autumnal scenery. Some students spoke of making new discoveries each time
they visited Kyoto. They took home digital snapshots of beautiful scenes and a
thoroughly memorable event. |
|
|
| The workshop was short at only two days but the exchanges
between these scholars of the Yamaoka Scholarship Foundation will last long in
the memory. |
