    We concluded this study with a nationwide questionnaire administered to the science and engineering department of a university and the technical department of a company. The survey’s goal was to verify whether there was a mismatch between the content of academic education and the education desired by industry. While both sides indicated a consistent overarching opinion, some details were different. For example, academic education paid more attention to imparting professional capability and knowledge, while industry desired that more importance be placed on general capabilities and broad liberal arts education. We hope that this survey data will be helpful in the promotion of industryacademia collaboration and reform engineering education in the future.

    Hitachi Institute of Technology (HIT) is an educational institute of Hitachi, Ltd. focusing on technical education for employees of Hitachi Group. One of the reasons why electric world is not familiar is that many people do not have wiring experience. Even electric designers draw drawings, but outsource the wiring. In order to know how the electric circuits operate and how the circuit trouble is caused, it is necessary not only to understand the mechanism of the electric circuits but also to have wiring experience, that is “practical training”. While devising training equipment and textbooks, HIT has kept on basic training courses of electrical systems with emphasis on wiring and actual machine training for years. These training courses have had a good reputation from the trainees.

    The important practical engineering skills are creativity, problem-identifying ability, problem-solving ability, and presentation skill, so that the ability of dealing with the design theme with multiple solutions is required for university students. However the educations for machine design and drafting in the current university do not have always effective curriculums to raise the creativity, problem-identifying ability, problem-solving ability, and presentation skill. Therefore the authors reexamined overall the current educations for machine design and drafting, and then planned and practiced the new subject “Exercise for creative object-making” that can meet the requirements from society by using new circulation type active learning. This new circulation type active learning consists of group learning, self learning, pair learning, and presentation learning. It was found that group learning and pair learning were effective for raise of creativity, problem-identifying ability, and problem-solving ability.

    This study presents the practical results concerning model based development (MBD) educational practices implemented by Hiroshima University and Mazda Motor Corporation, an automobile manufacturer, and the consequent educational effects. In recent years, there is an increasing demand for short-period development with limited resources to promptly respond to customer needs. To efficiently proceed with the product development, MBD employing computer simulation is considered effective. However, several professional engineers involved in automobile development have insufficient experience in conducting MBD. In this study, the authors propose an education program that allows these professional engineers to learn the MBD using a motor control system via a hands-on approach. The program is implemented to target 159 professional engineers belonging to Mazda Motor Corporation.

    A simple simulation material for learning extraction was prepared by using several 1 yen coins and a simulation sheet with aqueous (2.0 L) and organic (0.5 L) phase areas drawn on it. The aqueous phase area was divided to four 0.5 L areas. The one coin decided to indicate the quantity of 1 mmol of a target compound. Firstly, the number of coins comparable to the initial compound quantity were putted in the aqueous area according to the rule that the same number of coins located in the each divided area. When the several coins were moved from the aqueous to organic phase areas, it was possible to visually and intuitively estimate the extraction rate and partition coefficient, as well as the aqueous and organic phase concentrations.

    Previous study has investigated that, unlike most other fields, patent literatures are not regarded as a knowledge sources for the conception of new inventions in software field. This result shows a possibility of Japanese patent law’s laying open system is not functioning in this field. Therefore, we have conducted a survey to one of the top Japanese companies in this field which has high priority on patent activity. We have investigated that inventors who have rich experience and achievements, regard patent literatures as knowledge sources for the conception of new inventions. We also found that “high-ability searchers” and “high quality reading comprehension skill” are the key factors for the success to make outstanding engineers.
