This paper discusses an education program in which elements of computer system-related manufacturing can be extensively experienced through fabricating a game controller with a feedback function and a small burden of software development. It reports the results from a trial run of the training that was conducted with 25 first year high school students, and demonstrates the results from a survey based on a t-test and factor analysis. For 30 items in the survey comparable with the previous year, the average scores for all items were higher for the current training participants, and in 20 of those items, there was a significant difference in confidence level of 95%. As a result of conducting the factor analysis, it was confirmed that the training has a strong effect in improving problem solving ability and the desire to do so, and that it is useful in considering their future career path. These results show that the whole program has achieved its objectives and the cost is in a reasonable range.
