This paper describes a creative education program for first year students at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Kinki University. In this program of the “paper car race” competitions, students learn the entire product development process, from conceptual design to drafting to manufacturing and evaluation. Competitions include the slope climbing race, the speed race and the design contest. Students use only paper and bamboo for the axis, but are provided with the motor and battery box. The improvement in student motivation to learn mechanical engineering and mechanical design is inquired. In addition, statistical analyses were conducted to examine the correlation coefficient for the comprehensive evaluation. Student motivation did improve through the competition in which they created imaginative and original work. Many students felt that they had learned the importance of conceptual design, drafting and project management.
