This paper attempts to describe the relationship between students'and teachers'orientation to reform in engineering education, where the delivery of these programs has reached the "massification stage". This relationship is analyzed using two indices of orientation to education reform : type 1 is the systemization of coursework into a common program for all students, and type 2 is a release of students to explore independent research. This study demonstrates the gap between students'and teachers'orientations to the 2 types of reform. We collected data from a questionnaire survey conducted in January and February of 2002, and obtained the following three findings : 1) Students'orientations are uniform throughout all institutions surveyed. A lot of students responded more negatively to the type 1 reform and more positively to the type 2 reform than teachers. 2) Teachers'orientations differ according to institutional type. While teachers at elite institutions are negative to both types of reform, teachers at mass institutions are more positive to both types of reform. Therefore, the study found that the teachers'orientation determined the size of the gap between students'and teachers'orientations to reform. 3) Teachers at mass institutions tend to take a more progressive approach - - a reaction to the decline of students'academic competencies - - and feel the necessity for reform.
