Abstract
To be a good mechanical engineer, students are first required to provide fundamental knowledge needed for designing machine elements. Simultaneously, they are requested to nourish creativity as a mechanical engineer. As the creativity generally means two kinds of abilities of problem-finding and problem-solving, special training is needed in education to enhance those abilities. For this, design contest of robot and project-based learning are proposed and good outcomes from these proposals have been reported in various papers. This paper deals with another new proposal for this purpose. A new introductory subject of educating creativity, consisting of a card-based feedback evaluation system (CFES), prerequisite for freshman at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Tokushima is first briefly summarized. Considering the results of classes this year, validity of CFES examined by questionnaire is discussed from several view points.
