Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research examined what kind of educational program should be offered to 1st grade and 2nd grade students at university (4th and 5th year at higher professional school) to enable them to actively participate in higher education learning at their senior undergraduate years at university. We developed an educational program that would contribute to the development of engineers who can work globally, which is an objective of the educational reform promoted by Japanese government. In "improving the function of higher education institutions to train students to send them out into the society," we could get the cooperation from people (educational supporters) to build an educational program that promotes active learning among students. This report is shown about our practice.
