We are living in the modern world comfortably only owing to the highly advanced science and technology, an important part of which.is the metallurgy and materials science.
I show how these lectures can be made more attractive for students. The key is to make the students acquainted with the advanced science and technology through their familiar goods and phenomena first and then that the underlying scientific and engineering principles are lectured. A few examples are given.
The contents of the lecture so chosen must be systematic, perspective, of wide applicability and of long life.

For activation and reformation of "College of Technology" in JAPAN, many important problems still exist on which people have focused their attention, but have not been able to challenge, since it was established about thirty years ago. How can we challenge for finding the best way to the reformation? Current status of CT in JAPAN and the problems that we should face seriously are outlined. We should be careful not to degrade CT to vocational training school. Without activation of research work of the faculties and wide opening of CT to the social community, we can never expect the activation and the survival of CT in JAPAN.

There has been a matter of serious concern, for a number of years, that junior and senior high school students are less and less interested in science. With the view of promoting science education and of letting the young realize the wonders of nature and the real appeal of science, we held a workshop meeting of Diamond Synthesis. Over 100 students from neighboring prefectures of the Kanto area attended it. A diamond synthesizing device can be composed of test tubes and rubber stoppers found in science classroom; it simply costs several thousand yen. Alcohol was chosen as the carbon source. The participants assembled the devices working together. We knew, through the questionnaire survey filled by the participants, that they wished for experimental or experiential science lessons and science lessons which move them and enable them to share the pleasure of making discoveries. It may be rightly said, "Strike the iron while it is hot". I sincerely hope that the young, while they are sensitive in their early days, shall be provided with impressive experience in science, as fresh as when they are exposed to culture shock.
