At Kanazawa Institute of Technology students are assigned a fundamental lab course for creative activity in the first and second years to become valuable engineers in business. This lab course is a compulsory subject for learning ploblem solving methods. There were problems in the fundamental lab course where creative activity has been difficult to understand for the students in the first year and that new teachers have not had a means to get background knowledge about experimental methods over broad areas of natural science. Therefore we have put frequently used items into databeses of the employed themes, principles and laws, and experimental methods. The detabases of employed themes and experimental methods have classified the items into 24 technical fields. And we have made an explanatory document for the above items with two pages per item.
