This paper considers what kind of curriculum can be regarded as a suitable one for teaching English at advancedengineering course of national colleges of technology. An improvement of English education as a project has beenconducted for two years at the advanced course of Fukui National College of Technology.In this project, firstly, we tried to set TOEIC® as the most important target. Our students were encouraged to get anaverage score of the test, although it was not enough to meet the demand by students themselves. That was why we setanother target for students. As a different approach to teaching English suitable for global engineers, teaching presentationin English has been introduced as a compulsory curriculum of the subject. In other words, we have faced much difficultyto define "technical English" itself through teaching English at advanced course at national colleges of technology.In this thesis, we try to show mainly how we designed a new subject "Technical English for Global Engineers" throughthis project.
