This research analyzed at materials used to teach disaster reduction according to their objectives and target audience, and target phase of the disaster cycle. Based on teaching materials about disaster reduction in daily life, a disaster education program was developed. It was implemented with junior high school students, and its effectiveness was evaluated based on their impressions and feedback. As a result, based on the feedback from many students, they had the desire to encourage other people in their neighborhood to increase their awareness of disaster prevention in daily life, and confirmed the importance of disaster prevention in daily life. On the other hand, the difficulty of acquiring technical skills for disaster reduction is a challenge.

 The local workshop for education in the field of civil engineering has continuously been carried out by the industry-government-academia collaboration for five years so that civil engineers could cope with the regional problem related to Aomori area. The background and circumstances of this workshop, and the originality and utility of this activity are mentioned. The summary of the five-year activities, questionnaire survey about image concerning civil engineering works and so on are shown in the paper. The conclusions are obtained as follows. Through the degree-of-comprehension questionnaire to civil engineering works, it is known that an understanding and interest to civil engineering works have not spread among citizens, and the necessity for information dissemination has been recognized in common among the industry, government and academia. Therefore, Aomori-civil-engineering-forum by the industry-government-academia collaboration has been held for the citizens. By taking a regional problem as a theme of forum, degree of comprehension of citizens gradually has increased. On the other hand, as for the continued education for a civil engineer through local workshop, it is recognized that the interest of the high school student and the college student could be pulled out by taking a theme deeply related to business to a lesson and a lecture. And, it is useful for promotion of educational improvement activities. Moreover, the necessity for engineering design education and further collaboration is reconfirmed.

 Learning how to perform experiments is an important aspect for engineers. However, due to space and time restrictions, a sufficient learning system has not been created. In this paper, the creation of an efficient learning system supplemented by e-Learning is discussed.
 Student's approaches to preparation have been improved through the introduction of a quiz based system. For calculation the test results, the introduction of a self-check sheet into the data sheets leads to improvement in efficiency of learning and report making. Additionally, it increases the time that students spend considering the test results, which leads to an increase in understanding of the test. Finally, the use of a discussion board is effective in helping the understanding of shear tests.

 Many civil engineering facilities that has been constructed after the war became commonplace for people and have the risk of losing their existence if they were not managed appropriately. These have properties similar to global environment and ecosystems that are addressed within environmental educations in primary education. I think that civil engineering facilities should come to be recognized as an “environment” and be addressed within environmental educations in the near future. Therefore, I conducted a questionnaire survey to investigate the impression of words “environment” and “civil engineering” to students of faculty of education who will become teachers in the near future. The survey revealed that students of faculty of education know little about the word “civil engineering”, have a bad impression of civil engineering and their impressions of “environment” are strongly associate with environmental educations that they experienced.

 We have developed an educational tool that allows visualization of rebar corrosion with aqueous gel. Various types of rebar corrosion in concrete can be visually observed with the use of this tool, which will enhance students' understanding of the mechanism of rebar corrosion. In this study, we simulated corrosion of rebar in cutting surfaces and bents, and chloride-induced corrosion. The degree of corrosion was evaluated through measurement of pH levels of the gel and half-cell potentials of the rebar. Furthermore, we made a double layer beam model consisting of gel and mortar and measured the half-cell potential on both sides of the model. The practical applicability of the tool was evaluated based on the above.

 In this study, authors tried to verify the effect of community-based narrative about installation of new BRT system (opened at August 2010) on place attachments. In order to make the narrative, authors implemented interview survey targeting the persons involved with the project and the users of the BRT. Then officers of the local governments, Ishioka city and Omitama city were requested to finish reading the story and answer a questionnaire. The participants of the local governments were randomly assigned into three groups; the group reading the narrative, the group reading only a short description of chronology and control group. As results, authors found that participants who evaluated the narrative highly had more place attachments and had more intention to use the BRT system. Also the group reading the narrative was more likely to make their impressions as universal towards the narrative such as an importance of the public transportation system with daily life, and the importance of the relationship between people.
