The biological term of "Symbiosis" is used for the situation of "living together". The internet system has made a global society with database. The global society includes many kinds of variations: culture, language, and generation. In the global society, symbiosis between systems gave us a lot of multidisciplinary topics. Multidisciplinary communication skill is necessary to handle the topics. The term of "Biomedical Engineering", on the other hand, is used for the multidisciplinary academic field combining several fields: Biology, Medicine, and Engineering. The field relates to various academic fields. In these field, many topics are picked up for collaboration among the biological systems and engineered systems. Communication is necessary not only between biological systems, but also between biological system and engineered system. Several kinds of multidisciplinary learning- programs including cross-cultural seminars have been practiced among students in the present article. The effectiveness of the multidisciplinary learning has been discussed in relation to "Biomedical Engineering" and "Symbiosis engineering".
