The various human resource development programs with a focus on fieldwork for earth resources engineering have been carried out in Kyushu University. The traditional internship subject of Kyushu University, that began over 90 years ago, brings in a great educational effect for human resource development. More than 2000 students took the internship program and more than 100 students went abroad to accomplish the internship subject. However, Kyushu University cannot carry out the internship subject alone. Kyushu University is supported by a lot of companies related to earth resources and energy. Although the internship subject requires great care by both teachers and companies, it is necessary for human resource development to bring up “Earth system engineers in the 21st century”.
