We report on the engineering design class "Engineering Practice 2" in 2013 that opened a course in the department of electrical engineering, Shibaura Institute of Technology. The strategy of this class is to design and develop an autonomous inverted pendulum robot by oneself to improve the engineering design ability. The mechatronics educational material was improved to elaborate how to develop a control circuit equipped with the H8 micro computer. The questionnaire's result that Engineering Practice 2 was carried out in 2013 provided us the effectiveness of improvement and potential of this class.
