Abstract

Many mass-media has already discussed the inward tendency of young people in Japan. This research explores the effect of this phenomenon in the second year engineering students of a state university near Tokyo. This research consists of two different parts: examining traveling abroad experiences and the future possibilities of working for Japanese companies and non-Japanese companies, as well as living in Japan and outside of Japan through questionnaires; a qualitative text analysis on the descriptive impressions on the special lecture about the cases of a Korean companies and university. This article revealed that the students were heavily inward in comparison to Korean university students. However, some evidences indicated that few of them were already aware of the issue, and started breaking their own barriers to be outward.
