Abstract
This study had a purpose to examine that problem solving process through the product design and conceptual design in engineering design education affected the improvement of students' self-directed learning ability. For this, we conducted in-depth interview with students that taken the introductory engineering design course. The main findings were as follows. First, the importance of diagnosing the learning needs and defining the problem was realized. Second, the importance of organizing lesson plans for problem solving and performing it out systematically was acknowledged. Third, they knew that continuous modification and supplements were needed, and also reviews and checks were needed after the evaluation process. Based on these results, the problem solving process of engineering design education affected a positive effect to students' self-directed learning.
