IHI Corporation and Azbil Corporation have successfully carried out the lecture exchanging programs of three years, in which one company provided its in-house education course to the other company, respectively. The objectives were to complement each company’s weakness in technology education, to stimulate each company’ s educational activities, and to extend a personal network of engineers. There were several difficulties in designing lecture exchanging programs, based simply on existing in-house lectures, but we endeavored to solve the problems through the discussions from the viewpoint of benefiting engineers of both companies. This paper describes the design process and the educational effects of our programs, and the crucial points for our problem solving.
