Development and Improvement of Human Resource Development in Nuclear Engineering for National College Students in Japan.

Human resource development program in nuclear engineering has been developed and carried out for national college students in Japan. It consists of (a) remote lectures and e-Learning contents on radiation and nuclear related subjects, and (b) on-site workshops and visits at nuclear related facilities or Nagaoka University of Technology. In approximately 10 years since it was started, more than 10 thousand of students participated in the program, which, we believe, was effective to enhance their understanding in these fields. However, as an educational system, it seems possible to be improved through utilization of ICTs etc. From our understanding that the problem is the lack of bidirectional feature in our program. In the future, we are planning to provide substantial amounts of exercises base on Active-learning with ICTs to deepen the understanding of the subjects carried out in the workshops or facility visits.
