This study examines the result of internship program which provides university students to learn engineering ethics through experience by cooperating with company workers with disabilities to improve production process, manufacturing tools and work place layout into design with universal concept. This program provided interns opportunities to understand how Normalization concept can be realized in workplace, and to motivate them working for attaining it through experience of working with them, assembling operation, finding problems and making resolution idea in this two-weeks program since 2012. They learned how important that viewpoint of technology user with disability to be concerned for developing suggestion of improvement, and found themselves had vague prejudice against those working people. And they became aware of engineer's role in building condition where people with and without disability work together. For better program, we need to install evaluation method on the interns' learning process and results attained, and to appraise effectiveness of suggested improvement by interns in the workplace to verify validity of learning process in this program.
