A new educational program was introduced in Faculty of Engineering, University of Fukui, aiming at producing students with full of creativity and positive attitude. In this program, the students across the engineering departments and academic years form small groups, and each team works on an interdisciplinary and integrated project. The professors and academic staff participate in each project as an advisor/facilitator. A student can join the program at any academic year when he or she thinks it necessary. The effectiveness of the program was assessed through the inquiry and hearing from the students, alumni, teachers, business organizations for which the alumni are employed. According to the survey, the program is effective to develop various important human skills, such as independent mind-set, accountability and creativity.
