Feature Articles : New Approach to Teach Civil Engineering -Efforts of Practice-Based Learning-

The necessary skills that are generally required of civil engineers are,
（1）Communication skills, leadership skills and a wide range of expertise to integrate technicians in various disciplines.
（2）Problem finding, analyzing and solving ability to advance projects based on the comprehensive analysis of problems with various elements intricately interrelated.
（3）International way of thinking to play an active role on the world stage in a globalized society.

Higher education institutes for civil engineering such as universities and professional colleges are making efforts continuously with an aim to develop human resources with the above abilities. In addition to conducting traditional passive learning based education through lecturing for acquiring solid knowledge of basic specialized subjects, in recent years, an increasing number of institutions have begun to provide opportunities to improve above abilities by increasing the share of “Practice Based Learning” in the curriculum. This special issue introduces specific examples of these efforts and their effects to educators who have actively adopted Practice Based Learning.
