Problems of engineering education in Japanese university and a new trial solution

Abstract

The number of students at Japanese universities and colleges in increasing their educational needs or purposes are greatly diversified, and they show various levels of academic achievements. Such a situation gives rise to a variety of educational problems, which cannot easily be solved because of the Japanese educational environments. The authors have extensively developed new practical teaching systems consisting of CMI (computer-managed instruction) together with CAI (computer-aided instruction) systems. As a trial solution to the difficult problems mentioned above, the authors suggest that more teachers make use of the CMI/CAI systems.<>
