Therefore, they will be able to analyze problems with a wide perspective in thefuture.I. IntroductionModern science and technology was developed in the social background of industrialization,where division of labor was the most important feature. As the frontier of research began tobroaden, a division of labor also occurred in the scientific and engineering communities. Such anapproach has also penetrated into the education system where students are forced to confinethemselves into a certain discipline. Although this may benefit the depth of knowledge in acertain area, the growing trend of over
