Abstract
Nurturing engineers who have the capability to prevent the serious accidents that can occur in complicated mechanical system is becoming increasingly important for universities. The adoption of a safety education program is as indispensable a part as the engineering ethics education program. This paper proposes that industry-university cooperation is required in order to establish a safety education program at universities. As an example of industry-university cooperation, a trial case at Kyushu University is discussed, in which an experience-oriented educational program, developed for the employees of a company, was applied to the students' safety education. Two experience-oriented education programs are selected: one is "Caught-in-a-roller Experience" with a simulator, and the other is "Combustion and Explosion Experience." The effects and problems of experience-oriented education at universities are shown from the results of the questionnaire.
