In Department of Mechanical Engineering, Matsue National College of Technology, students can participate in variousmanufacturing courses provided for practice subjects. However, to be concerned is that students' skill in manufacturing isdeclining gradually every year. A reason for this can be partially attributed to reduction in schooling hours of technologyand home economics at junior high schools, but reduction in children's manufacturing experiences due to increase in timeused for various hobbies can be considered as another reason. Therefore, for first grade students in the department ofmechanical engineering, a course to assemble an automobile miniature model is designed and implemented forintroduction to specialized education. This course aims to provoke interest in the mechanical engineering among thestudents by experiencing manufacturing and understanding mechanisms of an automobile in process of assembling anautomobile miniature model. This report describes contents of the implemented course and analysis results on answersmade by first to fifth grade students to questionnaire about experiences acquired through assembly of an automobileminiature model and interest in an automobile.
