抄録

The Engineer Training School, which was founded in 1877 within the compounds of Osaka Station as an institution to railway high-level engineers with practical skills for Japan's railway system, had as its goal the production of graduates who could provide engineering/technical leadership in railway construction and operation. This training school was an "in-company" vocational training facility, whose graduates would go on to practice advanced British railway technology through on-the-job-training (OJT), and it was these men who served as leaders during Japan's early program of railway construction. This report focuses on the Engineer Training School 's curriculum and compares it with those in modem technical institutes and engineering schools. Through this process, we hope to throw some light on the general process of technology and skills acquisition.
