Abstract
Conference Title: 2015 IEEE 7th International Conference on Engineering Education (ICEED) Conference Start Date: 2015, Nov. 17 Conference End Date: 2015, Nov. 18 Conference Location: Kanazawa, Japan This is a case study of using action research concept as a tool to increase engineering student's ability to conduct a project-based research. At the beginning of the research, a problem led to this action research is investigated, and then the definition of action research and how to use it to find the solution is presented. The conclusion shows how action research application in engineering field studies is an effective tool to increase learner's abilities to conduct researches.
