dos Santos, Simone C.; Reis, Priscila B. S.; Reis, Jacinto F. S.; Tavares, Fabio – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2021
Contribution: This article adds to the results of previous systematic mapping study by addressing a more ample context of problem-based learning (PBL) in computing education. Background: PBL is defined as an instructional method of constructivist teaching that uses real problems as a motivating element for learning. Although PBL was born in…

Togou, Mohammed Amine; Lorenzo, Covadonga; Cornetta, Gianluca; Muntean, Gabriel-Miro – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2020
Contribution: The NEWTON fabrication laboratory (Fab Lab) Education Initiative assesses the effectiveness of Fab Lab-based learning on K-12 students' attitude toward learning science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM). It considers two aspects: (1) students' motivation and affective state and (2) students' observations and…

Bhatti, P. T.; McClellan, J. H. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2011
This paper presents an introductory signal processing laboratory and examines this laboratory exercise in the context of problem-based learning (PBL). Centered in a real-world application, a cochlear implant, the exercise challenged students to demonstrate a working software-based signal processor. Partnering in groups of two or three, second-year…

Rengel, R.; Martin, M. J.; Vasallo, B. G. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2012
This paper presents a series of activities and educational strategies related to the teaching of digital electronics in computer engineering. The main objective of these methodologies was to develop a final tutored coursework to be carried out by the students in small teams. This coursework was conceived as consisting of advanced problems or small…

Montero, E.; Gonzalez, M. J. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2009
Problem-based learning has been at the core of significant developments in engineering education in recent years. This term refers to any learning environment in which the problem drives the learning, because it is posed in such a way that students realize they need to acquire new knowledge before the problem can be solved. This paper presents the…
