Abstract :
In this research, we have a plan to develop a global IT convergence education program for medical/rehabilitative instruments and equipment. To obtain this goal, students with different major areas form an interdisciplinary engineering team and every team member takes a class on English, Leadership, Innovative thinking, Teamwork, and Entrepreneurship, called ELITE program. We will hold a business oriented capstone design pilot program challenge for whom completed the ELITE program successfully, build an international interdisciplinary team by contacting universities which made alliance with our university, and allow the international joint team members to work together in a place to improve their collaborative capability in mixed cultural groups. As a result, an interdisciplinary major education curriculum should be developed to train students in-depth. Ultimately, they will be contributing to a healthy life for humans as global human resources.
