Development of an Intellectual Interest for Students through Engineering Fundamental Education

进入大学新生的学术背景和准备程度之间的差距越来越大。这就使得寻找方法来提高学生的整体学术能力尤其重要，包括智力和社交技能和判断力。2004年，我们的研究确定了学生在工程学院担任工程师所需的特殊技能是“智力兴趣”，并作为试探性调查调查了学生的学术技能、态度和动机。在当前的数理工科综合教育中，我们制定了一项新的课程内容，提高了学生的个人和专业发展的整体水平，包括学习能力。根据试测的结果，我们在2005年调查了我校全体新生(1700名学生)的学习态度和学习动机，并通过对高年级学生和他们的老师的问卷调查，从学生的学习技能、态度和动机的角度调查了当前的数理工科综合教育。2006年，我们对所有新生的学习态度和学习动机进行了详细的重新调查，并评估了当前数学、科学和工程一体化教育的效果。在上述调查和研究的基础上，我们开始规划新的数理工科一体化教育课程，从2008年起针对学院每个教职员工的特点进行规划。

There is a widening disparity between entering college freshmen in academic background and preparedness. This makes it especially important to find ways to improve students' overall academic abilities, including intellectual and social skills and judgment.In the year of 2004, our research was to define that the particular skills, needed by students to function as engineers in a college of engineering, is "intellectual interest" and to investigate the academic skills, attitudes and motivations of our students as a trial survey. We developed a new course content in the current integrated Math., Science and Engineering education, which raises the students' overall level of personal and professional development, including academic ability.Based on the results from the trial survey, in the year of 2005, we investigated academic attitudes and motivations of our all freshmen (1700 students) and, in addition, investigated the current integrated education of Mathematics, Science and Engineering from the viewpoints of the academic skills, attitudes and motivations of our students by means of questionnaire survey for our senior class students and their teachers.In the year of 2006, we re-investigated academic attitudes and motivations of our all freshmen in detail and evaluated the effect of a current integrated education of Mathematics, Science and Engineering. As a result of the above investigations and other researches, we started to plan a new curriculum of the integrated education of Mathematics, Science and Engineering, which is coping with the characteristics of each faculty composing the college from 2008.
