The Department of Electronics and Information Engineering, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Tokushima Bunri University, offers a combination of lectures, exercises, and experiments in related subjects. This helps students to acquire expertise in computer hardware and software, as well as the ability to learn continuously and use their initiative in taking actions. At the end of each semester, questionnaires are conducted for all subjects to assess students’ level of understanding and the appropriateness of teaching methods. Instructors use this information to assess the status of each subject and strive to improve students’ understanding. In addition, to understand the trends and characteristics of the improvement in students’ abilities and understanding, this study investigates the situation at the end of the second year of study. A questionnaire survey is conducted to ascertain the status of improvement in knowledge and abilities. Based on the obtained response data, the polychoric correlation coefficient is calculated and the data are analyzed using multiple correspondence analysis.
