Abstract
The developing market economy of our country makes greater demands for engineering education. On the other hand, the training of student’s basic theories, concepts, knowledge, and basic skills must be strengthened; also the cultivation of innovative spirits and practical abilities should be carried out. It is required that while broadening specialist field of engineering education, basic theories and fundamental qualities should be emphasized. This paper presents culture of learning by doing through incorporating mini project concept in small group of student at first year engineering. It results to develop problem-solving and presentation skills, excellent team spirit, increase research skills, self-confidence, attitudinal change, and sense of achievement in the students. An example of mini project is also presented.
