Abstract
Since 2005, the Graduate School of Engineering, Nagoya University has developed a unique education program, a research internship. The purpose of this program is to cultivate students by the cooperation between an academy and industry, to take a leading role on the research and development in both fields. In this paper we present the outline of the program and the result of a survey on its effect on the participants in the program.
