This report describes the design, manufacturing, analysis, control, and experimental activities in which a student conducted for a motor-powered tiller for house gardening work. In Japan, the engagement in agricultural business was decreased to 50% during the past 20 years, and labor-saving and efficiency has been demanded. Besides, the elderly engagements are about 50 %. In this research, a student in the Kochi University of Technology, a former graduate student, selected the development of an electric powered tiller, since he is concerned with ecology, agriculture, and engineering. Engineering education for mechanical engineering needs the practical design and manufacturing, since design and manufacturing is the key of engineering. The first objective is the design and manufacturing of a tiller which elderly engagement can easily handle by a rotary body part and going up and down mechanical part of nails. The second is stress analysis, control experimental confirmation of the tiller. In this project, I would report the activity of the design, manufacturing, analysis, control, and experimental work, which is thought to be an appropriate engineering education.
