Abstract

The way how to learn multidisciplinary idea will be discussed.

Biomedical engineering is exemplified for multidisciplinary field. “Biomedical Engineering” makes multidisciplinary research area, which includes biology, medicine, engineering and others. The cross-cultural student seminars on biomedical engineering have been exemplified as the case studies. In the group fieldwork, students divided into the small group. Each group visited the university hospital to find research topics related to biomedical engineering as the fieldwork by the cross cultural group. Students pointed out several topics related to multidisciplinary field, which includes mechanics, informatics, and systemics. They have learned how to communicate with people, who has variety of cultural backgrounds. Through the training, students realized another way of thinking, which stands on another base of idea. The process is effective to master multidisciplinary idea.

The World Multi-Conference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics (WMSCI) gives good opportunity to learn multidisciplinary idea, because it welcomes not only variety of special fields of study, but also variety of researchers from variety of cultural backgrounds. Many academic conferences are concentrated into special field so that the number of participating countries is limited. Although the specialized group is convenient for peer review, it is not almighty for the global society. The global society consists of variety of elements. The single discipline is not enough for the application to the global society. Multidisciplinary idea breaks through the global problem, and creates innovation.
