The held report of International Engineering Design Challenge

Abstract

Authors conducted a workshop as an experiment to improve the engineering design ability and international sense of college students. Six Japanese students and 11 Thai students participated in the workshop. 17 students were divided into 4 teams and they proposed a new communication medium for each team. The students received several lectures and group work for the proposal. The students answered a questionnaire before and after participating in the workshop. As a result of analyzing the questionnaire, Japanese students realized that their ability was improved more than Thai students. In addition, students in other fields than engineering students said that their abilities improved.
