Abstract
We developed an internship program with a special subsidiary company in order to educate engineers with an inclusive mind. A participating student has designed and manufactured equipment for workers with disabilities during the internship. We found that the student learned relations between major subjects at engineering and production techniques through interviews. In addition, we also considered the program is related to knowledge management. This suggests that the internship program with a special subsidiary company is one possible way for growing inclusive minded engineers.
