Abstract
In 2000,a new department of university was founded at Avignon and Reims (in France) according to the plan of the "University 2000". Those are called "Genie du Conditionnement et de Emballage (GCE)", that is, "Engineering of Package and Packaging", and belong to the Institution Universitaire de Technologie (IUT) , that is, Institute of Technology. And those are in the new field of the education of technology in France and are multidisciplinary departments including material and mechanical technology, business administration, logistics management, and commercial science. In this paper, I introduce the purpose of their foundation, educational content and curriculum through the "Bullelin offical de I'Education National". In those departments, students have a professional training especially in the new compound area of industry, consist of technology and commerce-service. This kind of training is carried by the IUT-GCE in cooperation with companies from the needs for developing local industries, and also is expected to be effective in diminishing the number of unemployed young people. The IUT-GCE ways of training and education are so suggestive to the colleges of technology in Japan (Kousens), on the occasion of their individualization, advancement, and specialization.
