Abstract
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the actual state of self-directed learning through content analysis of articles in Journal of JSEE from the perspective of curriculum. Analysis shows that individual self-directed learning practices are implemented horizontally across multiple subjects and programs and vertically ranging from basic to advanced levels. In addition, they have a tendency to be practiced in seminar style classes. Three case analyses on production activities and the study of engineering ethics give detailed descriptions about learning process and operational structure.
