    At the present time circumstances around universities change on a large scale and students are in more severe situations than before. Therefore the problems which students have are complex and more difficult to solve. One professor or one counselor for one truant is beyond his capacity. Plural and trained staffs from various fields must grapple with one truant’s problems. This paper points out truant’s reasons as follows maladjustment to small group, inexperience to laboratory work, uncooperative attitude for professor’s experimentation, etc. Moreover, this paper introduces prevention and treatments for truants through concrete examples.

    First-year programming courses in departments of computer science contain a mixture of novice and experienced students. It is therefore difficult to optimize the organization of classes to meet all student needs. Students also have varying degrees of motivation to participate in lectures and differences in comprehension levels. Since 2013, we have been implementing self-paced learning plans in programming courses through team-teaching. In this study, downloadable PowerPoint slides and video-streaming resources were provided to the students as preparatory materials for the lecture in order to effectively support their various learning styles. This study describes the implementation of our course and provide insights from the survey on lecture preparation and submitting their programming exercises.

    Synthetic design thinking is needed to create innovative products. We propose an educational method for creative design that can enhance a person’s ability to generate a new products’ concept that are not extensions of existing ones. The method starts with a person coming up with a concept based on ‘intuitive synthesis’ in which the metaphor of a ‘product like a living thing’ is instinctively created; details are confirmed by ‘analyzing and investigating’ the concept’ s characteristics, followed by an ‘experience’ of the product and the scene in which it will be employed using a virtual reality device. Based on this method, a design engineering school was carried out. Students enthusiastically joined this program, and their outcomes were pioneering previously non-existent products.

    Projector screens and electronic files are often used to communicate information in the classroom. However, issues with these methods include variable visibility depending on seating location and effort to create operation manuals. With a desktop screen distribution system, the operation screen is distributed to the student’s PC, thereby mitigating these issues. Furthermore, an Audience Response System (ARS), as a bi-directional classroom tool, increases student motivation to participate in classroom activities. We have developed NetScr, a teaching support tool that combines the functionalities of screen distribution and ARS. This study investigates the effectiveness and usefulness of NetScr based on data obtained from classroom practice and students’ evaluations.

    The problems faced in the educational field for engineering are a small birth rate and a low priority ranking for engineering among young people. These tendency makes a decrease in the level of student’s studying skill and motivation to the field of engineering. The Center for Innovation and Creativity Development of Tokushima University investigates creative method for students and helps students’ independent activity. They develop their creative skill through their group activities. Especially, they can steadily improve their knowledge of science in the process of teaching several scientific works for the children. By the experience of these activities, we realized that the education from the children age is efficient for raising a motivation to science and engineering. According to the foundation of “Science and Engineering Network, Tokushima” as a Nonprofit Organization, the activity is now spreading among children and their parents.

    This case study introduces an example of cooperation between a KOSEN and a graduate school from the viewpoint of the transition of the number of entrants to graduate schools from KOSEN advanced engineering course. Due to an increase in the number of students going to graduate schools in urban areas from the KOSEN located in the local city, the department became the most popular place to go to school. This leads to an excellent junior high school student taking an examination of this KOSEN and can maintain the level of the KOSEN. On the other hand, graduate schools can continue to accept excellent students from the KOSEN advanced engineering course, which will be beneficial to both KOSEN and graduate schools.

    Questionnaires were conducted for Southeast Asians who got bachelor’s or master’s degrees in countries other than their countries of origin and then got engineering doctorates in seven Japanese universities. They were asked why they moved within three countries. Popular reasons for movement to other countries were because they wanted to polish their career abroad positively. Popular reasons for movement to Japan were also because they liked Japan or the research or education level in Japanese universities was high. Scholarships or recommendation of supervisors were also direct incentives. Some graduates got scholarships of governments or universities of their countries of origin, which implies that governments or universities supported their movement to Japan strongly.
