自動車技術者教育への取り組みと今後の展望

摘要

自動車産業をはじめとする日本の製造業は大きな変革期を迎えている．自動車に対するニーズは多様化し，さまざまな理由から若年層のクルマ離れも進んでいる．また，動力源が内燃機関から電気動力，ハイブリッド，燃料電池などへの移行が進みつつある．%Japanese automotive industries have been competing in a hard global environment, and the development in Asia is particularly progressing much more recently. One of the important subjects is therefore the professional development of global engineers. It is necessary to develop the automotive engineers with collaboration of Japanese industries, universities and academic societies, because the personal OJT is not sufficiently effective only in companies. The engineering qualifications such as the professional engineer or the automotive engineer level accreditation will be more important for the professional development in the global environment.
