This article introduces an educational tool for engineering design that applies systematic hydraulic knowledge by conducting experiments on a hydraulic power boat. The boat is made of low-cost and easily available materials, which enables it to be easily remade or modified many times. The time variation of the speed of the boat can be estimated based on some measurement data and theoretical parameters. The estimation shows good consistency with the outcome of experiments on the boat made by students. Students can learn that changing one parameter of the boat affects other parameters, resulting in multiple outcomes. Thus, it can be suggested as an appropriate educational tool for illustrating that there is not necessarily one single solution in engineering design.

 Conducting a buckling experiment with the use of steel may provide high educational benefits in the experimental class of civil engineering course because it enables detailed observation and measurement, covering elasto-plastic buckling and offering extraordinary experience. This paper proposes a flexural buckling experiment with steel which possesses the degree of freedom as much as that of experiments for acrylic board, wood, paper and so on. This experiment also has advantages in cost and adjustability of the contents. This paper also reports the results of application of this experiment at the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Tokyo Institute of Technology. According to the results of the questionnaire survey, the experiment, especially the usage of steel, was highly evaluated by the students after the class.

 In order to enable civil engineers to realize their social responsibilities, there is a need for designing a curriculum that can inculcate in them a sense of citizenship from the early stages of their specialized education. The purpose of this paper, while keeping a focus on early years of learning, is to report on practical aspects of mobility management education, in which geographical knowledge is utilized for handling social issues pertaining to civil engineering. It also analyzes learning outcomes to acquire insights for future curriculum design. The results of the analysis confirmed that students were able to utilize their geographical knowledge in resolving social issues pertaining to civil engineering. One example in support of the findings relates to determining the appropriateness of introducing Light Rail Transit (LRT) in Gifu City (discussed later in this paper). On the other hand, perspectives on merits and demerits of something change depending on the acquired specialized knowledge on the transportation planning and urban planning. Therefore, designing a curriculum that corresponds with the learning stages is a task that needs to be tackled in future.

 It is important to provide an opportunity to learn a UAV survey for students because the latest survey technology is being adopted in practice. A digital game-based learning material enhances not only student’s motivation but also comprehension. However, it is unclear whether game teaching materials for learning the UAV survey is effective. In this study, the game teaching materials for learning the UAV survey is developed and evaluated. It was found that the game group students who used the RPG game teaching material had high motivation in learning. Moreover, It was shown that the game group had a higher score than the lecture group. The developed teaching material is effective for beginners to learn knowledge of the UAV survey.

 The Japanese government promotes efforts to correct the over-centralization of Tokyo through efforts such as professional human resource businesses, satellite offices, and regional creation internships, with the Headquarter for Overcoming Population Decline and Vitalizing Local Economy in Japan as the core organization. On the other hand, in the research aspect, factor analyses have been conducted for individual industries and regions, or for all industries, but progress has not been made to grasp and analyze the actual situation for each industry.

 In this survey, focusing on the human resource development, in addition to the cost aspects, targeting the civil engineering field that greatly contributes in terms of activation of the economy by public investment, recovery support in disasters, etc. Also, by grasping the actual situation of the overconcentration into large urban areas of the civil engineering field and comparing it with education and medical care fields, the problem of the overconcentration in the civil engineering field was discussed with using Gini coefficients which are evaluated with Lorenz curves. The distribution of organizations and human resources was found to be clearly more concentrated than the population distribution and medical emergency and education fields, with some exceptions.
