Abstract
One of the most important and effective methods for studying is that students themselves plan and study what they want to study and the process is very important to transfer the sprit of engineers. However, most of the contents of study are presented beforehand for ordinary courses at typical universities, where students are only permitted to select them. Authors wished to create a course that can encourage and support studies of active students who know what they want to study. The authors developed a novel course called "a special course for active students" eight years before. This paper shows the developed framework, the actual management and some examples of activities of the course.
