抄録

<p>　 This paper analyses some of the particular problems found in masters programs in engineering education, where the delivery of these programs has reached the “massification stage”. Masters programs are analysed using two indices ; the degree of satisfaction of the students, and the degree of student motivation. We hypothesise that if at least one index is not high, then the masters program will have problems. Then two questions are presented ; firstly, which type of university is more likely to have problems? Secondly, how can we understand the background to these problems?</p><p>　 The data is collected from a questionnaire survey conducted in January and February of 2002. The major findings can be summarized as follows:</p><p>1. There are more students with a low degree of satisfaction and a low degree of motivation in NLUPU (Non Leading Universities-Public),and in some LU (Leading Universities).</p><p>2. The reasons why there are more students in NLUPU and in some LU who show a low degree of satisfaction are as follows : in the case of the NLUPU, it is because of inadequate equipment in the institution, and in the case of LU, it is because neither educational timetabling nor educational method are meeting student needs.</p><p>3. The reasons why more students have a low degree of motivation are the same for both NLUPU and LU : many students do not have sufficient pre-requisite knowledge for study in a masters course, and they do not connect their present major with future employment opportunities.</p><p>4. While the degree of satisfaction and motivation are determined by different factors, they both have an independent positive influence. Therefore, efforts to raise students’ degree of satisfaction will result in strengthening their motivation.</p><p>　 The implications of this empirical analysis are discussed ; firstly, whether the thesis which assumes that massification will bring fewer problems to LUs is adequate, and secondly, the need for academics and government agencies to consider reform according to the type of university.</p>
