To introduce consistent fundamental engineering education to the primary and secondary education level students, we combined part of the science class-works with the industrial arts class to handle the relating topics effectively. We also developed a new active-learning method modifying the Parallel Teaching. By employing the industrial arts subject as applied science, it is possible to implement class activities with an engineering viewpoint even in the very early stage of the primary education. Most of the students showed strong interest in both theories and applications after they knew how the theories were applied in the actual life. Through three years implementation of the proposed learning method for the same group of students, we confirmed its efficiency and effectiveness.
