Processing によるオブジェクト指向プログラミング入門教育の実践

2017 年 4 月にシステムデザイン工学部が東京千住キャンパスに開設した．システムデザイン工学部は情報環境学部が改組され，情報システム工学科とデザイン工学科から構成されている．筆者が所属するデザイン工学科では，プログラミング言語に Processing を導入した．Processing はスケッチブックに絵を描く感覚でプログラムできる特徴があり，デザイン工学科のプログラム言語として最適であった．長年，情報環境学部で Java 言語を教えてきたノウハウを活かしながら，オブジェクト指向の入門を指導している．情報環境学部の受講者はコンピュータ，プログラミングそしてネットワークに興味を持っていた．しかしながら，デザイン工学科の受講者はプロダクトデザインに興味を持っている．本論文では，教室環境や受講者が大きく変化する中，プログラミング教育の工夫について述べる．

School of System Design and Technology was opened at Tokyo Senju campus in April 2017. School of System Design and Technology has reorganized School of Information Environment, it consists of Department of Information System Engineering and Department of Design Engineering and Technology. In the Department of Design Engineering to which the author belongs, Processing was introduced into the programming language. Processing has a feature which can be programmed with the sense of drawing a picture in a sketchbook, and it was the best as a programming language of the Department of Design Engineering. For many years, while taking advantage of know-how that I taught Java language at the School of Information Environment, I teach introduction of object oriented programming. While taking advantage of know-how that I taught Java language at the School of Information Environment for many years, I teach introduction of object oriented programming. Students of the School of Information Environment were interested in computers, programming and networks. However, students of the Department of Design Engineering and Technology are interested in product design. In this paper, I describe the idea of programming education while the classroom environment and students are changing greatly.
