Abstract
The Department of Mechanical Engineering of Yonago National College of Technology has recently introduced a Problem Based Learning (PBL) course for the first-grade students. Its purpose is to enhance the students′ interest to the mechanical engineering and to develop the students′ learning ability and creativity. In this paper, we have assessed long-term educational effects of the PBL course by questionnaire survey to third-grade and fifth-grade students. The results have shown that higher grades students consider the PBL course is effective to develop creativity and improve their attitude toward cooperation by group works. Some students also think the PBL course is helpful in understanding the specialized subjects.
