WISE Chuo: A Career Education Program for Female Students Majoring in Science and Technology

Journal of Transdisciplinary Federation of Science and Technology, 2009

In cooperation with industries, our faculty is launching an education program designed to prompt more female students to go on to higher education and foster them as science and technology personnel who will be able to work for their company’s R&D division over the long term after graduation. That is what the WISE Chuo is all about. Through undergraduate and graduate educations, we will provide our female students with more opportunities for contacting their female role models who are currently playing an active role in business communities, to allow the students to feel R&D positions close to them and motivate them to choose such profession as their lifetime career. Even during their school days, we will also give them a place for acquiring knowledge and/or way of thinking necessary to work in the business world. Keywords– gender equality, cooperative education, industry career education, role model

Proceedings of the companion publication of the 2013 international conference on Intelligent user interfaces companion - IUI '13 Companion, 2013

We propose a system called Haptic Pad for Impressive Text Communication for creating text messages with haptic stimuli using the SPIDAR-tablet haptic interface. This system helps users indicate emotion and action of characters in text messages by attaching physical feedback. We evaluated the effectiveness of the system experimentally in three scenarios: storytelling, business e-mail and text messaging. We also conducted experiment for comparing effectiveness of haptic pattern, bold text and emoticon. We found that haptic stimuli are attached to facilitate three functions: emphasis in text messages, expression of emotion, and scene description. We also found that it is effective to apply HAPPicom not only to text messaging but to storytelling.
