One of the most important and effective methods for studying is that students themselves plan and study what they want to study, and this learning process is very important for imparting to them the spirit of engineers. However most of the subject matter is prepared for students beforehand in ordinary courses at typical universities, where students have only to select them.

This paper presents the framework and several actual activities of the developed course, especially for regional environmental improvement and energy education.
