    Differences of Engineering Education Systems Between Japan and Germany - Consideration About Before and After Graduation

    Many Japanese universities normally have the educational system, which checks the students’ "knowledge" about theories and answers, but engineering education in Germany provides a system to check the students’ "understandings" instead of their "knowledge". So, Japan has specialists; however, Germany has generalists, when students graduate from universities in engineering fields. It is important that the graduates should understand and improve their weak points by comparing themselves with students from different countries and/or backgrounds.

    The newly developed education programs including some regular curricula have been conducted with a common idea based on what we call "the ability for engineering" that is defined as abilities to learn and create. The purpose of the activity is reduction of unemployment caused by the discrepancy between the expectation on job hunting and the practical condition after getting job. We refer to the novel education programs on the internship with respect to the reformation of career designing. A major part of the project is composed of two kinds of internship programs and a workshop on career designing. These courses are prepared for the students from 2nd to 4th year grades. One of the most characteristic ideas is the program what we call "Market Internship", which is introduced for the first time in Japan from the view point of the users who are living where the engineering technologies are practically utilized. This program is mainly intended for the 2nd year students. The career design program named "Career Design Workshop" is prepared for the 3rd year students with respect to the discussion by the students, company engineers and faculties. The 4th year students are going to take the "Technology Internship" from the point of view of manufacturers they will be employed in near future. A couple of characteristic programs what we call "Network of 100 Wisdom" and "Enterprise Week" are planned to assist the whole system, as the collaboration with the local companies and the practical career design lectures, respectively.

    Development of Water Purification System by Magnetic Separation Technique and Its Application to the Education for Environment on the Course of Learn-by-Doing Program

    A superconducting permanent magnet system capable of generating strong magnetic fields has been constructed by using bulk high temperatures superconductors HTS. The magnetic field in the open space between the face-to-face settled magnetic poles has exceeded 3 T when they were activated at 30 K. We have investigated the magnetic separation technique with respect to Fe ions in the waste water drained from the university laboratories. The performances of bulk magnet system closely came to those of 5 T superconducting solenoid with a ratio over 90 % under the flowing rate of 3 liter/min in spite of the narrower space of strong field. The result attributes to the fact that the bulk magnet system has the steepest gradient among them. This suggests that the magnetic separation by using bulk magnets is effective for the practical water purification systems. The students of Niigata University take various parts in the actual R&D processes that were incorporated as a course of their educational curricula. It is important for the university students to learn the environmental issues by resolving the practical problems surrounding them. In the study, the water purification system has been adapted to the education course to carry out as a project-based learning. We expect that students would acquire strong motivation to learn sciences through the course.
