I am convinced that the important thing in science education is to teach the fundamental facts, concepts, and natural laws through learners’ experiences, experiments and manufacturing. Learning with an intelligent interest is essential to the class of science education. As typical examples, I can pick up the class dealing with the questions such as ; “If you drink 1 kilogram of juice, how do you think your weight will change?” “What is the silver substance which is coating the surface of a silver dragees (little silver balls sold for decorating cookies)? Is that a metal?”

In this paper, we propose a concept of agile system development which was adapted for the direction of technology evolution. We show the practical use example of a 3D printer and an open source open hardware microcomputer in research education, a class, and an open lecture in National College of Technology, and report on the present situation about education of making things. As a result, it shows that the effect of this concept is high for education at research of the brain functional analysis, research of the environment control and measurement of a plant factory, a class and an open lecture for junior high school students.

Quick globalization of human activity of economy has made English the most important international communication tool in the world past two decades. Taking the fact that the people speaking English as a mother language is less than ten percents of the total world population, into account, it is obviously to be noted that almost all the people using other language with different cultural background can basically truly be communicated not in English but in individual language. In this respect, learning multiple languages leads to be fascinated by different national culture and results in further enjoyment of one′s life. This is actually demonstrated in terms of the author′s experience in this paper.

The Great East Japan Earthquake and the Fukushima No.1 nuclear power plant accident revealed serious problems with Japanese information communication systems. From a rhetorical viewpoint, the Japanese language starts to explain a situation from the beginning and leaves the outcome until the end. In traditional Japanese culture, the world is thought to move with the collective flow of nature, and all things are constantly in the process of change. Thus, self-assertion is not encouraged in Japan. The Japanese language itself is imbued with “vagueness,” possessing a wealth of vocabulary and expressions but often not being conducive to sending out a clear message. Unfortunately, under emergency circumstances, such as experienced in March 2011, serious problems can occur. In this paper, we examine the language used by researchers in science and engineering, where clarity is essential. We prepared the Japanese-English Corpus of Presentations in Science and Engineering (JECPRESE) of transcriptions of presentations given in Japanese and English by researchers. Our comparative analyses revealed that the “vagueness” in Japanese results from missing subjects and a lack of sensitivity for paragraph structure (idea frameworks), verb tense and mood. In order to send out a clear message, more effort needs to be made to be aware of the audience’ s viewpoint. Only in this way can the Japanese learn to speak out without “vagueness” as the world accelerates towards internationalization with the ever increasing need to send out clear messages.

In the experiments performed in the advanced course of the National Institute of Technology, Numazu College, data science education was conducted remotely by using asynchronous and synchronous interactive methods. The Tellus platform with satellite and terrestrial data was used to analyze data in a cloud environment. We adopted the development of data engineering, data analysis, and value creation skills as basic educational guidelines. From the answers to the questionnaire, we conclude that 1) the asynchronous interactive method made us aware of many benefits, 2) the synchronous interactive methods gave us some issues to be solved, and 3) the three guidelines were successfully achieved.

Tokyo Tech professes that we provide excellent education nurturing the ambition to change the world in students’ minds and acquiring the ability to take a panoramic view and leadership. To the aim, in order to develop global human resources who will lead the world by technology, Tokyo Tech is promoting various initiatives that take into account the position of universities as top-tier institutions of higher education. In this manuscript, the environmental improvement and educational programs for that purpose along with each intention are introduced. On the other hand, the activities of researchers with higher quality in various international joint researches themselves are the best teaching materials. The efforts to promote international joint researches, which will lead to the creation of situations and environments for fostering global human resources, are also introduced.

Since the finite element method software can display stress distribution and deformation, it is considered to be effective for education of the strength of materials. However, the solution of the strength of materials does not consider the effect of the fixed end, so the solution of the finite element method does not agree with the solution of the strength of materials. In this study, we devised a method to match the solution of the strength of materials by devising the boundary conditions of the finite element method. From the class evaluation questionnaire, it can be said that this teaching material is effective in learning the strength of materials.

A presentation practice in Japanese by rubric evaluation using TED talks as an educational tool was performed. The practical objectives were the acquisition of (1) presentation skills and the abilities of (2) adequate information collecting, (3) planning and (4) cooperating. From the questionnaires for the students, almost all of them realized that all the objectives were achieved. Additionally, using two TED talks and reviewing using rubric and review sheets for groups and individuals were particularly effective for achieving the objectives (1) , (1) and (3) , respectively. The rubric evaluation results obtained from the presentation groups and the student members were both comparable to those obtained from teachers in charge of the practice.

An idea of systematization to improve a quality of both product and process of each project in university is introduced. The method of project management, which is well known as PMBOK (Project Management Body Of Knowledge) GUIDE, that is practically a world standard used in business world, is applied to improve project activities in this study as a methodology for the processes of projects. In addition, student awareness for completing project activities is also important. To satisfy this requirement, a definition of “Fundamental Competencies for Working Person” defined by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Japan in 2006 is also applied in this study. Utilizing the above standard and definition, formats for project planning and regular report to improve the project activities are introduced. From survey of awareness level on the competency factors of “Fundamental Competencies for Working Person” , students who have experienced project activities aware of the competency factors that are important in the project process to create project outputs. On the other hand, there were some project activities that could not be completed as planned, and it was recognized that management to guide students by teaching staff to complete the outputs are necessary. From research results, a style to improve the projects activities in universities are systematized.

Focusing on digitalization of answering and automation of grading of tests, this paper describes migration from descriptive test to an objective test format using optical answer sheets. In a specific example, a test was used to generate a class diagram from source code. In doing so, it proposes an answer format that would not impede freedom of answering. It describes the process of trial and error through the development of its proposal as well as the adoption of optical answer sheets and the questions used. It then reports on practice using these answer sheets. In the practical example it presents, grading was completed in approximately 20 minutes from the time the answer sheets were scanned after the test.

This paper describes the diversity promotion efforts which support students with disabilities and sexual minorities at technical universities. By reference to examples of reasonable accommodation, we have identified that adjusting the balance between reasonable accommodation for students and safety in the experiments and graduation researches might have been important especially at technical universities. The results of the questionnaire conducted for the students indicated that it is important to disseminate the efforts to promote diversity at the university for both the students who need reasonable accommodation and the students who do not need reasonable accommodation in order to enrich their university life. We concluded that it is necessary to provide students the opportunities in which they can accept diverse values and have their own ideas.

In resent Japanese elemental and lower secondary education, opportunity of experimental work for students has been limited, and it has made difficult to obtain fundamental knowledge in natural sciences. This recent situation causes needs to provide special and general science courses through laboratory work in the liberal arts education in science and engineering faculties of universities and colleges. In this paper, the author tries to edit new attempts of development of “Laboratory Study Course for Natural Science Fundamentals” . The concept of natural science fundamentals, and the reason for the need, the contents and the aims of the laboratory study course are discussed in this article.
