[Theme of Construction and Waste Heat Utilization] Passionate and Advanced Mission-E Call for Applications for FY2021! Kanto and Kitakyushu Area ]</trp-post-container

Passionate and Advanced Mission-E" is a project in which high school students learn knowledge and perspectives from Nittetsu Engineering engineers, and learn how to solve social issues through hands-on activities over a period of about eight months.

Through this program, we aim to nurture engineers who will lead the future by experiencing the world of engineering and its fascination.

Mission-E Point 1: Acquiring cross-disciplinary problem-solving skills through manufacturing
Students will use their knowledge of a variety of subjects, including physics, mathematics, and social studies, as they design, build, and present structural models and heat recovery models. Students will experience the comprehensive thinking required to solve real engineering and social problems.

Mission-E Point 2: Discussions with real engineers
You can work on development while receiving advice from real engineers and researchers. At each event, there is also a social event where you can talk freely about your job and career path outside of the project.

Schedule Overview

Mission-E Schedule Overview

Applications are now being accepted for two programs in FY2021 (Kanto and Kitakyushu)

Kanto] Space Architecture Project
~Build the 2030 Winter Olympics stadium!

The teams are required to design the stadium, which is a huge spatial building, and to build a structural model of about 1/100 of its actual size, based on the assumption that the stadium will be constructed for the 2030 Winter Olympic Games. In the final contest, the participating teams will compete against each other with their ideas for the utilization of the stadium and environmental friendliness, as well as with load-bearing tests that simulate snow accumulation and other conditions.

Kitakyushu] Ecology Plant Project
〜Design the factory of the future using waste heat.

The PC is regarded as a factory and its waste heat is converted to power and hot water production is challenged. Participants will design and experiment to show how energy can be effectively utilized without compromising the function of the PC (factory).
