Osaka Electro-Communication University (OECU) will host its annual 'Egg Drop Contest' on Friday, June 5, 2026, as a welcome event for freshmen in the Department of Engineering Science. Now in its 19th year, the program has been enhanced with additional coursework to boost educational impact. By incorporating specialized lectures on space and physics, the event has evolved into a more academic Project-Based Learning (PBL) initiative. Students attended mini-lectures in early May to apply perspectives from space science and impact engineering to their designs. Strict rules, such as a ban on box cutters and copying other teams, are enforced to ensure a thorough PDCA cycle. A presentation session will follow on June 12, where students will analyze their failures to build resilience.
