Abstract

An educational practice entitled “Breaking Away from Shallow Learning Habits” of the Faculty of Engineering, Niigata University is adopted as “Good Practice (GP) of Education” by The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. This practice consists of a new introductory educational program for freshmen entitled “Introduction to Engineering Literacy” , as well as improvement of other lectures/experimentations/exercises for design education. “Introduction to Engineering Literacy” of The Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, is programmed to let the students make “failure” (discrepancy from the knowledge obtained from the textbooks) in experiments, let them propose improvement, and let them conduct the same experiment again after the improvement, so that the freshmen can experience a PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Action) cycle.
