Abstract
The Department of Control and Sysytems Engineering, Tokyo Institute of Technology, has been focusing on creativity in its undergraduate education for more than 40 years. The current curriculum is featuring 2 RoboCon-style subjects, in which students are assigned to create original robots to attend a competition. One subject is offered for 2nd year students and its main objective is to activate their creativity. The other is for 3rd year sudents aiming at development of team creativity. In this paper, after introducing the concepts of the curriculum, the latter subject called “Creative Design of Control Systems” is described in detail. Its objectives, outlines, and various efforts to teach and to operate the class are explained taking the 2005 class as an example.
