The ICEE (Innovation Center for Engineering Education) was founded in April 2004 as an educational facility in the Faculty of Engineering of Tottori University. The ICEE plans the development and training of creative professionals in all fields of engineering through Project Based Learning Programs in collaboration with local enterprises. The ICEE also aims to enlighten children of local schools by providing manufacturing classes regularly, and we hope the ICEE to be a true center of practical engineering not only the university but also in the local society of this area.
