Abstract
Leadership training program has been focused on the gathering of knowledge. Gaining on-the-job training has made you a leader. However, in the age of rapid change, there is a real need for practical leadership training methods. Leadership training with the use of simulator could be a practical method which shows you concrete action steps as a leader. Project management educations have been introduced to graduate schools of engineering especially in the field of information and construction engineering. Education on technical knowledge area, such as scope, time, cost, quality, and procurement management, can be executed by lectures and proper exercises. For human skill and leadership education, however, conventional educations of lecture and exercise are not effective for students who have scare experience of leadership. To improve leadership ability of graduate students in technical activities, we introduced a new educational method which links variety of pseudo experience with real actions of students in university research and engineering activities. This education links knowledge, pseudo experience, and action, and improves leadership ability of students.
