A study for introducing engineering design process into engineering design III in Kanazawa Institute of Technology

In the engineering design III (ED III) course at Kanazawa Institute of Technology, the department of mechanical and mechanical systems engineering has tried to introduce the engineering design process in place of the conventional graduation study course. One of authors has presented several advantages of educational effects on the engineering design process. Now, it is necessary to improve the effects from the viewpoints of both students and teachers. This paper presents the results of questionnaires and interviews from both teachers and senior students at the department. Moreover we present the educational results under various kinds of viewpoints for introducing the method of the engineering design process into ED III.
