The aim of this paper is to put forward an educational model for engineering design based on digital twin technology. The development of 3D technology in diverse forms and the proliferation of multifunctional sensors have facilitated the creation of digital twins. The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the necessity for dynamic, research-driven learning that incorporates ICT. As a result, I have proposed a PBL that uses an engineering digital twin to go to the site, makes a direct observation, and determines the facts. Furthermore, I have presented a case study that demonstrates the effectiveness of this approach in community nursing education through the use of a digital diorama. This digital diorama offers a platform for cooperative learning in educational institutions and communities alike.

In this research, we propose a tool to support the presenter by acquiring the reaction such as nodding and tilting the head of the audience and the viewing situation of the presentation material and presenting it to the presenter without forcing the audience to take a conscious action in the online presentation. The effectiveness of the tool was verified by applying it to an online presentation between students on the theme of “job hunting” . From the operation status of the tool and the results of the questionnaire to the participants, we were able to show that the presentation of the “nod” and “tilt head” icons, numerical values, and the number of pages viewed in the material have the effect of making it easier for the presenter to speak. It was also shown that these icons and numerical values are effective in sharing audience reactions.

Through the analysis of artificial neural networks and t-tests, we identified linear independence and linear dependence as the points at which students stumble in linear algebra. Furthermore, we developed mathematics websites in the fields of calculus, linear algebra and probability statistics that allow high school and university students to form concepts interactively, regardless of time and place. The websites were designed so that visitors can complement their knowledge with hyperlinks, regardless of their learning history. Teachers can also use the website to easily implement Peer Instruction in their classes. The website provides a useful structure for both students and teachers and is in line with the aims of the Digital Transformation in Education.

In the National Institute of Technology, Kitakyushu College, the students in the third grade choose one specific engineering course from five specialized ones. The scores in the first and second grade are used to determine where students are assigned, so the fairness of scores in the lower grades is required. On the other hand, many teaching methods using online tools are now in practice after the COVID-19 craze. Therefore, we used the streaming tool for multiple face-to-face classes of the same subject at the same time. This attempt of teaching was found to be highly beneficial in that it enabled effective use of limited human resources, and student questionnaires showed favorable opinions about the fairness of the teaching method.

Plane finishing work using metal files requires mastery of subtle force sensations. The subtle force sensations cannot be learned only with a video training material using VR or AR. In this paper, we describe a support system for mastering a flat metal filing operation using VR, AR, and a tool dynamometer. In addition to the conventional training, the system has added practice of model work with VR goggles, grasping the instincts and tricks of work with AR smart glasses, and grasping force sensations with a tool dynamometer. The trial of this system confirmed a significant improvement in trainees’skill proficiency (effect size 1.73) compared to conventional training. Furthermore, it was confirmed a reduction in the variability in trainee mastery that depended on the instructor’s skill instruction method.

In order to nurture young engineers, it is essential to pass on technical skills gained through experience. However, this usually requires a lot of time and a large number of skilled engineers. There is a growing need to develop educational materials for technical college students and young engineers that are comparable to face-to-face education. To solve these problems, we developed 360-degree video teaching materials using VR technology. Our goal was to provide learning materials that can be studied at any time, any place, and any learning speed. We made sure that the materials provide visual learning, repetitive memorization, and a sense of craftsmanship without making students feel that they are studying. We then conducted a VR demo experience and performed a survey to compare the demo to an actual face-to-face class.

We developed a web application for smartphones to measure own acceleration and attempted to put it into practice in mechanics experiments for educational purposes. The feature of our application is that it simultaneously measures acceleration and Euler angles and converts acceleration in a coordinate system fixed to the smartphone to acceleration in a stationary coordinate system. This makes it possible to facilitate the measurement of 2D and 3D motion.
