Description

This paper reports the practice of students from Osaka University and Mukogawa Women’s University forming teams and participating in the “Student Business Idea Contest Utilizing Open Patents” sponsored by the Kinki Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry. The initiative was carried out mainly for the purpose of fostering student interaction between Osaka University and Mukogawa Women’s University, using a cross-appointment system shared between them. The students belong to unrelated faculties, including the Graduate School of Engineering/Faculty of Engineering (Osaka University) and the Department of Informatics & Mediology (Mukogawa Women’s University). The students majoring in different fields took advantage of their respective knowledge of expertise to complete the agenda and deepen exchanges. The Students in the Department of Informatics and Mediology collected recent societal trends and created flexible ideas, and students in the Graduate School of Engineering/Faculty of Engineering considered the feasibility based on data analysis and utilizing the latest technology. Their proposal was made in response to the needs of modern society, and as a result, they received an award at the project’s conclusion. From the post-contest questionnaire, learning opportunities and challenges that the students faced during the project became apparent.
