Outline of Final Research Achievements

It is insufficient only in the English Language Education that has been done in Japan so far to promote can　a globally active engineer. Communications skills to promote not only expertise but also the project with the foreigner to it smoothly are necessary. The purpose of this research is to construct an educational network where the engineering education with international exchange can be practiced. First of all, the mechanism that the project activity is promoted by Japanese students' pairing the team with the foreigner student and using the experimental facilit on Web is necessary. Then, we tried the development of the long-distance-controlled robot system that was able to control by Web browser. To verify the effectiveness of the long-distance-controlled robot system that developed, the system complete set was set up in cooperation organization. It was clarified to be able to use the developed system.
