| Research Abstract |
Mainly we summarized analyses and reports of the questionnaire survey which we carried out last year. We focus on the following four issues in our analysis.
1.The learning process and the effect of education in engineering education
We made factor analyzes from the perspective how motivation for learning and learning opportunities for students affect their knowledge acquisition at the time of graduation and clarified the role of the laboratory system in engineering education.
2.The graduates' evaluation of higher education
We provided a broad-ranging analysis of the graduates' evaluation of the usefulness of higher education based on their professional experiences and careers.
3.The relationship between learning and social status
We analyzed the impact of learning in the university on the current social status -income and personal accomplishments. We clarified empirically that the degree of avidity for learning does not affect the advancement of status directly but the knowledge and competency acquisition at the time of graduation lead to the current knowledge and competency which effect the achievement of social status.
4.The engineering education and expertise
We analyzed the relationship between the profession after completing education and the major at university and clarified the role of professional education.
