Implementation and Evaluation of the On-site Training Program Bura Hase Aimed at Developing Young Engineers

Abstract

Various training programs have been conducted at the company with the aim of developing young engineers. However, conventional programs were primarily lecture-based, and participants often expressed negative opinions such as “not interesting,” “sleep-inducing,” and “difficult to understand.” To address these issues, a new training format incorporating active learning elements was developed, combining on-site fieldwork with group discussions. This program, named Bura Hase, was designed and implemented as an on-site training program. This paper reports on the implementation and educational effects of Bura Hase, conducted to promote more effective development of young engineers.
