To overcome an educational crisis, experimental learning in creative manufacturing in reference to cross-curricular engineering education has been undertaken. To educate students in terms of not only information and management technology, but also in terms of theory and practice, experimental learning procedures from product planning to trial evaluation have implemented. Objectives and fundamental hypotheses were also established for realizing effective education. The verification of these hypotheses and the attainment of these objectives were evaluated by the use of experimental reports and student surveys gathered for three years. As a natural consequence, successful requirements for experimental learning in creative manufacturing were derived. Moreover this paper postulated that failure factors actually should be considered much more seriously than successful factors for effective education.
