Colleges of technology in Japan are characterized by specialized education starting from the first grades aged fifteen, making it particularly important to provide motivation for specialized subjects. The most difficult thing for teachers in the technical college is giving the motivation to a professional education to the lower grades who don't know the technology and engineering. Teachers tried to use and make a suitable example or an education material for their lecture. The generation gap with students makes it difficult for teachers to use examples of objects that students are actually familiar with in their daily life. To compensate for the generation gap with students, we asserted that education for lower grades should adopt the perspectives of students in higher grades. The relative closeness in age of lower and higher grades helps reduce the generation gap with students, which is advantageous in that teachers can share the perspectives of students.

This study dealt with a case study on the application of flipped learning to solid mechanics in college of engineering and analyzed the results of Pre-class survey, In-class activities, and Post-class survey to examine the effects of flipped learning. Total sample size of the analysis was 32 students who applied for solid mechanics in mechanical engineering department, consisting of 23 students in sophomore, five in junior and four in senior. The class was operated in three stages: Pre-class, In-class, and Post-class. The response of the students was observed at each stage of the class. According to the results, flipped learning was effective in learning knowledge of major subjects in engineering, and students actively participated in class activities and conducted smooth discussions with team members. Flipped learning has also improved students' class concentration and academic ability. Most of the students have expressed their intention to take classes or actively recommend other students when the classes are held. Effective classes will require systematic discussion guidance because flipped learning is closely related to discussion activities.

Independent study is a major ability of engineering students. In independent study training practice, we need to use different instructional strategies and responds to individual student needs and learning styles. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate a four-step student independent study training mode we applied to teaching the Biomedical Engineering students in Dali University, China. We developed this teaching mode to fulfill the goals of the first years' undergraduates training and improve the students learning skills. The four-step teaching mode includes both in-class and out-of-class activities. The emphasis is on how to train students to get information from the reading materials, understand the concept, develop critical thinking and eventually become independent learner.

This paper explores the educational method of using films as a means to cultivate critical thinking abilities for engineering students. It provides a practical educational model that elaborates on how films could be used as case studies to draw relevant questions, and in the process of answering them, develop students' ability to think critically. The educational model proposes a learning method of enhancing critical thinking abilities through debates and essay writing on issues raised in films. Furthermore, the paper entails concrete learning objectives on critical thinking education, and standards to evaluate levels of enhancement. Through raising the critical thinking abilities of engineering students, this paper will contribute to the utilization of creative ideas in the process of engineering research. Furthermore, the concept of utilizing films as a model for education used in this study could be adapted for fields other than that of engineering.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between instructional strategies applied to engineering courses and students' learning strategies. As a result, students perceived that the application principle was the most applied and then the problem-centered principle was applied to engineering courses. In addition, the students showed that rehearsal strategies are the most used in courses. The most important instructional principle in this study was the problem-centered principle, and the higher the degree of application of problem-centered principle in engineering course, the students were likely to use more deep learning strategies such as elaboration and organization strategy, critical thinking strategy, and metacognitive strategy.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of college students majoring in the engineering on career decision difficulties and emotional and personality career difficulties. Data is consisted of 430 college students. We tested the research question by employing the PSM and the multi-regression model. The result showed that college students majoring in the engineering have difficulties in the information about self, the lack of information, and the outside control on career decision more than others. We suggested that career education and counseling of understanding themselves such as interesting, aptitude, and occupational value should be provided for students majoring in the engineering.

The purpose of this study is to explore directions for improvement of teaching at college of engineering based on analysis of differences from course evaluation of students and instructors. Data was collected from 86 instructors' ratings on courses and their 3004 students' ratings on courses at college of engineering in a two-year, a three-year college and a University from 2010 to 2013. The results of the survey indicate significant differences in the statistics from the several questions between the instructors and the students as well as between the course in a two-year, a three-year college and in a University. First, instructors' self evaluation of the course is higher than students' satisfaction ratings of the course on the average. Instructors' self evaluation are high on the questions 'The subject was proper for the course', 'The course provided the latest theory and trend of the field', and 'Fairness and objectivity about the exams and the assignments'. Also, the difference between Instructors and students on the questions is significant in the statistics. The professor must make sure that students know well how to organize the course content and the method for feedback to test result and homework. Second, instructors have higher satisfaction ratings on the six questions and students have higher satisfaction ratings on the one question('Make students participate in the class effectively') at a two-year and a three-year college. However, students have higher satisfaction ratings on the three questions('Make students participate in the class effectively', 'Concern about students' learning process', and 'Use of E-learning and media equipments') and instructors have higher satisfaction ratings on the one question. It means instructors at a University feel pressure on a teaching and they are unsatisfied with their teaching skills. Third, the result of comparing six parts of the questions shows that students' satisfaction ratings are higher on 'Students participation' and 'Application of media equipments' parts whereas instructors' self evaluation are higher on 'Exams and assignments' part. Fourth, the question 'Make students participate in the class effectively' is significant in statistic based on comparison of instructors and students, and comparison of in a college and a University. Students' satisfaction ratings are higher than instructors' self evaluation.

이 연구에서는 공과대학생들의 공학 창의성이 성별, 학년, 공학교육인증 참여 여부와의 관련성을 살펴보고자 하였다. 구체적인 연구목적을 살펴보면 첫째, Rasch 분석을 사용하여 연구에 사용된 공학 창의성 검사도구의 타당도와 신뢰도를 확인하였으며, 둘째, 삼원분산분석을 사용하여 성별, 학년별, 공학교육인증 참여 유부별로 공학 창의성의 수준을 비교하였다. 셋째, 공학 창의성 요소간의 상관관계를 확인하였으며, 넷째, 잠재집단분석(poLCA)을 활용하여 공학 창의성에 따라 구분되는 잠재집단들을 규명하고, 규명된 잠재집단과 성별, 학년별, 공학교육인증 참여가 관계가 있는지 살펴보았다. 연구에는 2098명의 공과대학 재학생이 참여하였으며, 4개의 하위 구인으로 이루어진 공학 창의성 검사도구를 활용하여 자료를 수집하였다. 라쉬 분석결과 공학 창의성 검사도구의 타당성과 신뢰성을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 삼원분산분석 결과 공학창의성은 성별에 따라 유의미한 차이를 나타냈으며, 학년의 경우 창의적 인지 외의 모든 구인에서 유의미한 차이가 나타났으며, 공학교육인증제 프로그램은 공학 창의성의 선택 여부는 유의미한 차이가 타나나지 않았다. 상관관계 분석 결과 공학 창의성 요소들은 상호 통계적으로 유의미한 관계가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 마지막으로 공학 창의성 요소를 근거로 잠재집단을 확인한 결과, 공과대학 학생들에게는 3가지의 공학 창의성 잠재집단이 발견되었으며, 1학년과 여학생일수록 공학 창의성이 가장 낮은 잠재집단에 소속될 확률이 높았다. 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 공과대학생들의 창의성 교육에 대해 논의해보고자 한다.
