Students' Minds to Learning Will in the First Grade AC-Class and its Analysis

Abstract

We carried out special lectures as First Year Experience because students except the first choice are included in the department of Architecture and Civil Engineering（AC）of Kumamoto National College of Technology. As a result of investigating the effects of First Year Experience for three years, it was revealed that the students’will for learning increased more just after the admission, and the purposes of the study of students were different every year. In particular, even if it was not the first choice, the results of final examinations were good in the 3rd AC-Class. They had ambition and consciousness of the contribution to society as the engineer.
