Project-based learning is one of the popular and promising approaches in engineering education. The current study reports on a curriculum that was designed and implemented by a graduate school to help students gain knowledge and creative thinking skills through collaboration between different majors during industrial projects in a graduate course on home appliance engineering. The students selected the topics, planned the project, conducted research, produced a prototype, and presented their results under the guidance of a group of advisors consisting of professors, technical advisors, and industry mentors. A quantitative analysis showed that this approach was effective in improving the students’ attitude toward engineering. Furthermore, a qualitative analysis showed that this learning method helped students learn how to communicate and present effectively, to flexibly approach projects, and to understand the practices of industrial research. Based on the findings, the current study discusses how the project-based learning helped students advance.

基于项目的学习是工程教育中流行和有前途的方法之一。本研究报告了由研究生院设计和实施的课程，旨在通过在家用电器工程研究生课程中的工业项目期间，通过不同专业之间的合作，帮助学生获得知识和创造性思维技能。学生选择了主题，计划了项目，进行了研究，制作了原型，并在由教授，技术顾问和行业指导组成的顾问团的指导下介绍了他们的研究结果。定量分析表明，这种方法可以有效地提高学生对工程的态度。此外，定性分析表明，这种学习方法可以帮助学生学习如何有效地进行交流和演讲，灵活地开展项目以及了解工业研究的实践。基于这些发现，本研究讨论了基于项目的学习如何帮助学生进步。
