Naoko Takayama and Hiromi Ariyoshi
Nursing has been given to nurse students as a professional education. But in today’s aging society, not only nurses but also general public need to have the basic knowledge and skills of nursing. People with basic knowledge and technique of nursing will be willing to help people with disability. Then Takayamahas come to realize that the knowledge and skills of nursing will help engineers develop aiding instruments for physically and mentally challenged people. This made the author start a new subject of Human Health Caring for Engineers in the regular curriculum at a college of technology, which is the first regular course not only in Japan but in the world. For the last thirteen years 1,112 students finished the course ‘Human Health Caring’. The introduction and evaluation of this nursing education for engineers are reported in this paper.
