Growing the Development Skills of Engineering Students in Extracurricular Activities of Vehicle Manufacturing

Abstract

We have implemented since 2016 a “Program to grow the development skills of engineering students in extracurricular activities of vehicle manufacturing”. In this program, our students produced not only their own vehicles, but also the apparatus to evaluate vehicle friction, and then presented and discussed their development results with researchers and engineers in domestic and international conferences. As a result, our students improved their development skills in a logical manner, enhanced their communication skills, obtained new technical information, and gained the chance to lead to the next development.
