The purpose of this paper is to propose a graduation research incorporating the project-based education for developing fundamental competencies for working persons. Many studies have been reported on educational methods with project management techniques, but few have considered project-based learning aimed at improving fundamental competencies for working persons. If these competencies can be developed through project-based education in graduation research, it will be possible to develop not only teamwork skills, but also a wide range of skills involving action as well as thinking. This paper proposes an educational model for developing fundamental competencies for working persons and examines its effectiveness by analyzing the case of a “cooking tools project” for graduation research students.
