    The educational effects of practical education using a debate exercise are investigated using questionnaires. For the group-work composed of discussion and debate, students understand thoroughly various engineering ethical topics, such as factors preventing ethical decision-making. Students enhance their abilities to make a rational and logical decision by themselves such as a judgment based on correct information. Mutual evaluation by students through group interaction elevates positive educational effects. However, students answer fewer questions related to the understanding of professional duties and cooperate social responsibility because of the group-work using failure cases. Students also show less progress in their abilities to communicate with others and to express their opinions to audiences. A more suitable number of group members solves the latter problem.

    It is known that there are the following problems in distance education for two or more classes. 1) The reaction of the learner in the remote place is not understood easily. 2) It sometimes confuses the teacher which class he/she should observe. 3) It is difficult to realize an interactive lecture. This paper proposes a response analyzer system using mobile phones in order to solve these problems. The following item exists as an advantage of response analyzer system using mobile phones. 1) Use in the general classroom without equipment is possible. 2) The introduction of the system is cheap. 3) The operation must be easy because the learner is usually using the mobile phone. The system in the server gathers the learners′ responses in distance places and shows the teacher various data-analysis results on line. Therefore, the teacher can grasp the learners′ states on-line, and can make a teaching decision (lecture pace, class which must be seen) optimally.

    This paper claims the importance of “FOR ALL Education of science and technology” for high school students. “FOR ALL Education of science and technology” means the following two points : (1) Science and Technology Education for all students including students who will not enter the departments of science and technology in universities. (2) Education for all science and technology fields. Generally it is difficult to realize “FOR ALL Education of science and technology” . In this paper, the authors propose several educational programs to overcome the difficulty.

    Although, the staff for assessing environmental risk of chemicals is required in individual units of industrial sectors, there are very few systemic academic curriculums on risk assessment of chemicals in Japanese institutions of higher education. In order to meet such a social needs, Osaka University opened a limited-period program of environmental risk management for both students and working people in 2005. The author describes the contribution of his experience in offering a course on environmental risk assessment of chemicals as a part of the program. The course afforded students a kind of practical training for risk assessment. This paper also involves what to do for strengthening the education activity of risk assessment.

  • An Attempt of Design Education through the Production of Experimental Setups for Tribology Education

    This report describes a lesson in design in which students constructed a device as part of their training in tribology. The device consists of a launcher, a basket and a platform. Steel balls are launched and made to bounce three times on the platform before landing in the basket. By conducting preliminary experiments, problems were identified with the prototype and improvements were incorporated in the final design. The students learned new design methods. This exercise provided students with an opportunity to broaden their knowledge of steel materials, geometrical tolerances, guideways for rolling elements, mechanisms, and 3D-CAD. It is anticipated that design education will continue to incorporate the actual construction of such devices as an integral part of design education.

    This paper presents educational materials, a simulator and a textbook, using the Open Dynamics Engine (ODE) . ODE is an open source, fast, robust and industrial quality library for a real-time and interactive simulation of rigid body dynamics. ODE is suitable for developing educational materials. However, there had been no book which introduced how to use ODE to make simulators written in Japanese. Thus I wrote a textbook which gave basic robotics and how to make simulators based on ODE. Students are able to tackle the subject with interest using the textbook and the simulators.

    It is expected to design safety mechanism based on international standards, in the wave of sophistication and globalization. This paper shows the results of developments and evaluations about e-learning program (eSAFE) for education of safety engineers. E-learning contents (11 subjects) have been developed, and delivered to students in other national colleges of technology for credit transfer. Open source LMS (Learning Management System) is applied and enhanced functionally by using intelligent bulletin board system and report system. The former presents simulation tool and filters objective topics. The latter can evaluate the degree of coincidence with each report. These functions are experimented with actual reports of students. Also, automatic mentoring mailing system is developed and evaluated in cohort based model of e-learning.

    In this paper, we presented a method and knowledge about a practical and project management education and local contribution obtained through the student activities of “Environmental science laboratory circle in the College of Science and technology in Nihon University” from 1991 to 2001. In this circle, four major projects were acted such as research, protection, clean up and enlightenment projects. Due to some problems from inside or outside of this circle, this circle projects have been stopped. The diffusion and popularization of the internet technology will help to resolve some of these problems.

    In this research, we proposed and evaluated a management method of college mechatronics education. We applied the project management to college mechatronics education. We practiced our management method to the seminar “Microcomputer Seminar” for 3rd grade students who belong to Department of Electrical Engineering, Shibaura Institute of Technology. We succeeded in management of Microcomputer Seminar in 2006. We obtained the good evaluation for our management method by means of questionnaire.
