Abstract

In the distance lecture a talk concering  a  method  of  technology  education  based  on  a  problem-
solving scheme is given. This method aims at  letting  students  acquire  fundamental  technology  and
creative power for themselves, first by setting up the final  goal  of  their  study  theme,  then  by
searching the solutions through simulation and successive experiments.

For the goal of making an object fly in the air, for example, the following procedure takes place:

1)   Establish equations of motion and hydrodynamics based on the principles of flying objects.
     Then examine simulations of the equations on PC.

2)   Construct a model of the flying object to verify the result of 1). Ways of obtaining materials  for
     the model must be elaborated as well as ways of constructing it.

3)   Through the experiments using  the  model,  correctness  of  the  simulation  described  in  1)  is
     verified. If the result is not desirable, simulation and experiments are repeated as needed.
