| Research Abstract |
In order to determine what curricular content and teaching methods are appropriate to train students to become global engineers, the author and her research partners conducted analyses of existing government-supported global education programs, and interviews with active global engineers, students, and professors of several engineering schools in Japan. Along with these, they developed a curriculum plan for a pilot joint GE training program with a sister school in the United States and tried out the plan. The curriculum plan included several lecture courses on each campus, US-Japan joint lectures, students' joint projects, and a one-week study tour to the US school by Japanese students. The results from these attempts confirmed that trainings in linguistic and cross-cultural communication skills, general liberal arts background such as geography, history and culture of a visiting country, and global value judgement ability are necessary.
