This paper discusses the role of design in education. Up to now, design education in Japan has focused its attention on transferring knowledge about how to design, but recently project based learning has been attracting wide attention and PBL is being introduced widely. Certainly, PBL has such advantages as promoting students' motivations and developing their ability of problem solving. And indeed it serves very well for students to learn how they should work together as a team. But from educational point of view, how should we evaluate their activities, especially, if we encourage them to be creative. And what assignments would be good for the purpose? These are open issues to be answered and the author would like to discuss these points.
