We have engaged in the project for developing an LED-related technical training base in the southern Tokushima region in the years from 2007 to 2011 at Anan National College of Technology.It was funded by Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and contributed to the training of engineers skilled in LED-technology. We have developed this engineering program to meet the LED-Valley Plan of Tokushima prefecture in a collaboration between academia-industry and government. The courses consist of fundamentals and applications of LEDs, materials sciences and production engineering. The project was finished after 5 years. We have trained 52 skillful LED-engineers well above the planned number of 40. This paper reports the project and its results in detail.
