Abstract
As the proverb says, failure teaches success. Most engineers who belong to the new product development sections in manufacturing companies have experienced failure, and have turned their failures into opportunities. However, it is difficult to teach students something from failure in a lecture. Hands-on education is one of the solutions. In this paper, a trial in the class of Analog Electronic Circuits is reported. Some extra-curricular tasks with the possibility to cause failure were assigned to the students. The results of the questionnaire conducted by the students show that the proposed practical method has successfully reminded them of the meaning of learning.
