Japan's higher education system has been undergoing a transformation since the 1990s. Pressure from the government, society, industrial globalization, and other factors are causing universities to re-evaluate how they educate their students. Globally, many of these factors are also at play, and institutions worldwide have been considering the same reforms. Some engineering universities have banded together to create an educational framework, Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate, or CDIO, as a response to the global call for better engineering graduates. In 2010 the first Japanese organization, Kanazawa Technical College, joined CDIO as a Collaborator, recognizing the need for change and the ability of CDIO to meet that need. Comparing the ideals of a CDIO-based program with JABEE requirements, it is found that they are highly similar, and that following CDIO meets many of the desires of Japanese industry today. CDIO would be beneficial for all Japanese institutions of higher learning.
