Abstract
Due to changing social requirements, today's doctoral education must prepare students to be able to work in a broader spectrum and apply one's skills to a multidisciplinary setting while maintaining a high level of expertise. This paper outlines the development of an education program for Ph.D. students to cultivate literacy and competency, in addition to comprising a doctoral thesis and highlighting the ability to achieve results through innovative research. The program aims to cultivate fundamental attainment, specialized knowledge, literacy (language, information literacy, technological literacy, legal knowledge, and ethics), and competency (creativity, problem identification and solution, planning and execution, self-management, teamwork, leadership, a sense of responsibility and duty). In order to cultivate these abilities, simply attending lectures is insufficient, so we have to develop industry-university collaborative education programs.
