Empirical Training Framework of Learning "Integrating Techniques" to Solve Problems involved in Mechanical Design- Transdisciplinary Approaches in Center of Excellence Program in Kyushu University -

Abstract

The Center of Excellence (COE) program in Department of Mechanical Engineering Science at Kyushu University conducts the training framework of learning "Integrating Techniques" by research presentations for students in different majors and accident analyses for practical cases by Ph.D course students.The training framework involves the following process 1.Peer review among Ph.D course students for the presentations, 2.Instructions by teachers in order to improve the quality of the presentations based on the result of the peer-reviews, 3.Final evaluation for the improved presentations by teachers and the students.This research observed the quantitative effectiveness of the framework by the evaluations using questionnaires for the presentations. Furthermore, the effective practical methods in the improvement process can be visualized by investigating the revision process of the presentation.
