Abstract: It is well known that communication skills are important in business. In recent decades, diversity has been becoming a big trend among Japanese companies. As a result, a high level of communication skills is required of employees. The mainstream information technology (IT) industry is shifting focus from software development to providing software “services.” IT companies need to communicate with their clients to understand the clients’ IT strategies. However, typically, IT engineers are not seen as having good communication skills. There is a similar impression of IT students. In this study, we compared communication skills of IT students and non-IT students. Then, we compared communication skills of the IT students before and after participating in project-based learning (PBL). As a result, we found that PBL is effective in improving the communication skills of IT students.
