抄録

The number of applicants for the Faculty of Engineering, which has been decreasing since 1999, has been increasing since 2007. While the number of applicants for the Faculty of Information Engineering is increasing, the field of Mechanical Engineering which has a strong image of hardware is on the decline in popularity. However, the vast majority of "things" that enrich our lives are produced by Mechanical Engineering. In order to support people's safe and secure lives in the future, it is necessary to secure human resources who aspire to Mechanical Engineering. Therefore, in this paper, we considered how to increase the number of children who aspire to Mechanical Engineering by using the questionnaire results in the experiential learning for students in the junior high school and high school ages.
