Abstract In a recent situation of the global competition, businesses are going to be more complex and having to respond faster than before because life cycles of products are getting shorter and competitors are not predictable anymore. Someone claims that the education at the universities is not suitable for the actual industrial situations and it has to be changed to more practical applications. However, in such a unpredictable situation, it is not even clear which direction is correct to go. When it comes down to it, the purpose of education is what it’s all about! Several opinions based on my personal experiences will be discussed to find a better way making our students more trained to solve the new abnormal problems.
