This paper discusses contents and results of a new graduate course "English for Engineers and Scientists" given at School of Engineering, The University of Tokyo. This course is a new attempt to develop English communication expertise for engineering graduate students: how to write technical papers and how to make technical presentations in English. For these purposes, differences in the writing styles and in the sentence structures of English and Japanese are stressed: conclusions come first in English versus conclusions come last in Japanese; the three-step style of introduction, body, and conclusion in English versus the four-step style of ki-sho-ten-ketsu in Japanese. In addition, proper styles of technical papers (rhetoric) and related grammatical points are discussed. Technical presentation course consists of four-week lecture and seven-week practice session. In the lecture, essential points of technical presentations in English are discussed in detail, and in the practice session students′ presentation skills are improved through guidance and instructions given by native-speaker moderators. The class evaluation results show that most students have obtained necessary skills of technical presentation, indicating that the combined course of lecture and practice session is essential for training students to make better technical presentations in English.

New theory of learning indicates "learning" is the process of interaction which occurs in social relationships within a community containing a multitude of things beyond any single individual. From this point of view, the "project-based learning" is one of new methods of teaching and learning at university. The method of project-based learning includes of team learning, team teaching, portfolio assessment, open space, and faculty development. This paper discusses potential of university to become a learning community with the method along with results of the educational practice at Future University-Hakodate.

With the background of our university' s advantageous constitution of both art and engineering departments, we have developed a curriculum that educates students with regard to both technological knowledge and artistic capability. In this paper, we introduce an intensive seminar that we have developed for training students' skill of collaboration and communication with people who are from other technical domains. The seminar sets the target to sophomore students who are supposed to have finished general subjects and not to be specialized to each department too much. The students make a small group and work on an assignment of developing an interactive system that requires both technical and artistic skills and finally make a presentation on their works in the classroom.

A new framework of intersecting institutional spheres of industry, government and academia is proposed to promote better mutual understanding of their roles in human resource development for the coming knowledge-based society. It is encouraged to also involve students to make the development, practice and assessment of universities′ engineering education programs well-balanced, solid and productive. Thus, a unique alliance between industry-government-university-student is established. A prospective university should take an initiative to define four indispensable elements of engineering education program such as a vision, goals, curricula and evaluation, which as a whole should be as a common platform for all stakeholders. A proposal is also made for the method of thesis evaluation, by which the mission and goals can be made much clearer to faculties, students as well as industries.

“Creative Exercise” is one of the most important articles in the course of technology educations at the universities and the colleges. In this paper, some trials for the creative exercises developed in Osaka Electro-Communication University are introduced ; those are (1) exercises in “Creative Design Engineering”, (2) studies and educations on robots, (3) executive plan of rescue-robot contest, and (4) supporting system for application for the qualifying examinations. Their results and effectiveness are also discussed.

The rescue robot contest for junior high school students was created to give students an opportunity to design a robot to rescue the victims under large scale disasters. The activity was not only intended as an humanitarian project but also aiming at students to : (1) take the role of victims and imagining the situation from his or her perspective, (2) enhance thinking skills, creativity through the problem solving processes and, (3) work cooperatively in groups. From results of questionnaire for the participated students, important factors for further implementation as curriculum of technology education are implied.

This paper claims the importance of “FOR ALL Education of science and technology” for high school students. “FOR ALL Education of science and technology” means the following two points : (1) Science and Technology Education for all students including students who will not enter the departments of science and technology in universities. (2) Education for all science and technology fields. Generally it is difficult to realize “FOR ALL Education of science and technology” . In this paper, the authors propose several educational programs to overcome the difficulty.

Japan Science and Technology Corporation has developed a Web-learning service site, named Web Learning Plaza, providing free self-learning materials for engineering CPD (Continuing Professional Development). Web Learning Plaza opened on the Internet October 1, 2002. The site contains a large number of Web-based multimedia learning contents that encompass a wide range of engineering disciplines, totaling four hundred lessons. The learning contents are designed to be quick and easy to learn for engineers of college graduate or master's degree level. The number of registered learners totals around 3, 500 as of mid-February 2003, and is steadily increasing. The monthly number of learning sessions averages around ten thousand. We are projecting to create new learning materials shaped more flexible and modular.

A new educational program was introduced to our college in 2000. This program based on the extensive knowledge in the engineering and high culture, originally intended to foster young engineers with creativity, diversity, interdisciplinarity, internationality and high practical skills. It also aimed to nourish engineers who would be engaged in developing user-friendly technologies that can coexist with nature and who can flexibly cope with current global issues such as environmental problems, food shortages and energy efficiency. Regrettably, great numbers of students don't seem to be interested in studying. We feel that there is an urgent need to improve the educational program to attract students to learn and encourage their motivations. In this paper, We would like to propose a new education model that is the Collaborative Work of Industry, Local Government and College of Technology.

Japanese English education has focused mainly on teaching passive skills such as reading and listening, whereas actual business activities in society require active skills such as writing and speaking in addition to the passive skills. This educational situation is estimated to be a reason Japanese engineers are less confident in writing and speaking than in reading and listening. This paper focuses on details of the English Technical Writing Test provided by the Japan Society of Technical Communication and emphasizes the importance of the active skills, mainly focusing on what skills should be taught in the future and how to develop these skills. This paper also stresses the necessity of learning rhetoric-related skills, concept of information words, as well as paragraph reading and writing skills based on the concept of the 3Cs (Correct, Clear, and Concise) as a means to develop technical writing skills for engineers.

Some studies and experiments for “A Collaboration of Science and Art” were reviewed to consider the role of art in engineering education. And then, the necessity to think better of value of beauty in the aim of engineering was discussed. In Conclusion, art is like a communication tool to bridge between science/engineering and its surrounding world.
