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 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.

Approximately 8% enter Universities of Technology among students who graduate from all Colleges of Technology in Japan every year. Students of the College of Technology own an unknown good point. Therefore, it forms the traditional character of the University of Technology after entrance to the university. When we discuss their future that they will work in, we have a responsibility to plan a strategy about what the College of Technology and the University of Technology should do now and to learn the situation of the countries around Japan.

本研究は,科学技術英語における受動態に焦点を当てて,どのような談話環境において受動態が能動態より好まれるのか,又,能動態が受動態よりも好まれるのかを考察した。Brogan(1973),Tarone et. al(1981),Turk and Kirkman(1989)等の先行研究を基にして,本研究は,科学技術英語において安易に受動態の頻繁な使用を受け入れるのではなく,より妥当な受動態の使用に関する考え方を提示した。本研究は,特に,次の二点を主要な結論として引き出した。それらは,受動態が使用されるところで,(1)"We+一般動詞"の使用,(2)主語の擬人化,"抽象,無生物主語+一般動詞"の使用等によって,文を能動態にし簡潔化することである。動作主(agent)を省いた受動態の使用は,確かに文に対して客観性を持たせる事が出来て,動作,行為,等に読者の注意を直接向けるという意味においては効果的ではあるが,科学技術英語において,受動態の多用,乱用は決して好ましいものではない。受動態の代わりに,先に述べた(1)(2)の使用をもっと積極的に取り入れていく事が肝要である。

In this paper, we analyzed the features of the adoption strategy in creating Japanese technological terms, by comparing with those of other Asian countries. In addition, we investigated how those technological terms are used differently in each engineering field. As a result, in adopting technological terms, phonetic adoption is found more often in Japan (especially in the new research fields like IT) . In contrast, semantic adoption is found more often in China and Vietnam. It is also found that architecture field shares many terms with civil engineering, and electrical field shares many terms with communication. Those findings are quite useful to the engineering education for foreign students.

In order to get students in engineering courses to acquire a good command of English, a coursework named “English for Engineers” has been offered to senior students in the department of mechanical engineering of Mie University. The authors place much value on the coursework from the viewpoints of acquiring the ability of (1) accurate pronunciations in accordance with phonetic symbols, and (2) a series of translations from a word-for-word translation to a free one. To make the coursework more effective, the authors have developed an e-learning system. The system supports teachers in engineering departments who are normally non-professionals in English education. The results showed that the proposed system is effective for comprehending the importance on the above-mentioned two viewpoints.

Traditionally in student experiments we have taught students technical knowledge and skills which are necessary to accomplish their experiments. In this traditional way of teaching, it has not been essential to develop engineers with communication skills and leadership. But recently such engineers become more and more important to tackle problems in team projects. In addition, ability to determine priorities among various complex subjects by using optimal method is needed for engineers these days. From this point of view, I have designed and implemented alternative student experiment programs based on behavioral, cognitive and situated learning theories to help students develop these skills and abilities. And according to the results of my investigation, I designed new curriculum for integrated education from high school level to university level at Toyama National College of Technology. This paper introduces these experiment programs I have developed and discusses educational effects and necessary improvements of these programs.

Quick globalization increases the necessity of higher communication skill for everybody. However, in reality, modern tools such as mobile and internet spoil the face-to-face communication ability among young people. In this paper, reviewing related books of communication skill in conjunction with speaking, hearing, reading and writing is first done on English as well as on Japanese. Parallel to this, self experience-based method for intensifying communication skill is described. Emphasizing points for improving each communication skill are concretely proposed in the body.

In this paper, we implement a new style of manufacturing education on the basis of internships with local businesses as well as by using an interactive skills transfer and skill training system. Our system integrates virtual reality (VR) technology and information communications technology (ICT) which were developed at Saitama University. We have created an interactive technology and skills-sharing network linking the knowledge resources and technical resources of our university with the skill resources of local businesses. Our objective is for our students to learn the skills of the local businesses and their business needs and to be able to effectively acquire knowledge and skills for manufacturing. We report our findings from performing practical training that uses specialized knowledge acquired from lectures combined with VR technology with the objective to provide students with more thorough skills. Our undergraduate curriculum provides practical education that links experiments, practical training, and lectures, in mechanical engineering experiments, mechanical engineering seminars, mechanical engineering practical training, and internships.

The basic program of general education of engineers is based on European culture from the times of ancient Greece to the 20th century. However, when considering its results, such as colonialism and the World Wars, this system can be said to lack the most important goal of “culture,” which is “to accept the existence of others.” In particular, the cooperation of European culture and engineering has ravaged the weaker cultures and is currently causing severe environmental problems in nature. Therefore, when considering the general education of engineers, it is indispensable to doubt European scholarship and to analyze what is lacking in current Japanese educational programs. Then, it is desirable that the relationship between the mind and the body, the characteristics of the Japanese climate, and the essence of Japanese artisanship be taken into consideration. It may also be beneficial to study the Ainu culture for its qualities as a peaceful culture.

To better utilize evaluations in higher education, it is necessary to share the methods of reviewing reliability and validity of examination scores and grades, and to accumulate and share data for confirming results. Before the GPA system is first introduced into a university or college, the reliability of examination scores and grades, especially for essay examinations, must be assured. Validity is a complicated concept, so should be assured in various ways, including using professional audits, theoretical models, and statistical data analysis. Because individual students and teachers are continually improving, using evaluations to appraise their progress is not always compatible with using evaluations in appraising the implementation of accountability in various departments or the university overall. To better utilize evaluations and improve higher education, evaluations should be integrated into the current system by sharing the vision of an academic learning community and promoting interaction between students and teachers based on sufficiently reliable and validated evaluation tools.

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.
