Abstract
A goal of the JABEE accreditation system is to ensure that engineering education at higher education institutes in Japan develops students who are knowledgeable in engineering, capable of applying engineering knowledge, and able to implement practical engineering solution in society after graduation. Unfortunately, the industrial world has not yet sufficiently recognized the important role of JABEE in achieving this goal. The interest and participation of industry in engineering education is absolutely needed to ensure the development of the ability to apply engineering in society. This article states the issues, reviewed from the standpoint of industries, in the current situation of JABEE accreditation system activities.
