On June 5, at Hirosaki City Tomeya Junior High School, a construction consulting company "Kitacon" (Miyakawa, Hirosaki City) gave a delivery lecture.

The lesson was planned by Kitacon to let people know about civil engineering work. Kitacon is a company that conducts public works construction, maintenance, surveys, and surveys of dams, tunnels, roads, and bridges, and Hiroaki Fujita, who claims to be the company's "Mr. Oyaji Bridge", took the class.

This day is divided into two classes, classroom learning and experience. In the lecture, I introduced the work contents of civil engineering under the theme of "Enjoy civil engineering so much". The latest technology was explained using actual images, and the data images scanned in advance in 3D laser surveying were shown, and the CG image with a drone equipped with a green laser scanner, which was introduced in Aomori prefecture for the first time, was shown to excite the children.

In the hands-on class, in addition to exhibiting a drone with a green laser scanner in the schoolyard, students actually experienced the inspection of the school building by an aerial work vehicle and the taking of thermographic images using an infrared camera. Mr. Motoaki Tazawa, a 3rd year student, said, “The image of civil engineering has changed. By seeing 3D scans and images of bridges collapsed by the earthquake, I realized the greatness and importance of civil engineering.”

According to Mr. Fujita, career learning such as work experience has been suspended due to the influence of the new coronavirus, and there was also a request from the principal Naomori Mori. Mr. Fujita said, “I was able to convey a content that could get a little interest in the danger of aging public infrastructure and civil engineering not only at construction sites. It may have led to an increase in future players. I show a smile."
