The "Project Management Exercise" lecture is offered as an elective course to allow students to experience problem-solving methods through practical project management. In FY2021, we designed and manufactured a device (stirring mechanism) to improve the efficiency of hydrate production experiments under the theme of "Provision of a stirring mechanism inside a pressure vessel. In order to complete the deliverables (stirring mechanism) to the level required by the client in a relatively short period of time, advance planning is extremely important. In this project, because we were able to create a solid project plan, we were able to proceed with the project with almost no problems, and we were able to submit deliverables that met the client's requirements by the scheduled date. As described above, it was confirmed that even in a project with relatively high expertise and a high level of requirements, the use of project management methods can increase the students' achievement in solving problems.
