Zhang, Duo – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2023
As a learner-centered pedagogy, project-based learning (PBL) is recognized to improve students' engagement and long-term learning effectiveness. The present PBL practices are based on instructor-defined topics and are assigned as a partial or full substitution of traditional assessments. Here, open-topic PBL as an opt-in activity is proposed and…

Yang, Xiaokun – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2021
In teaching an integrated circuit (IC) design course, many benefits can be gained by offering an industry-relevant project associated with a training to a bundle of electronic design automation (EDA) tools and design methodologies. However, few open-source projects were able to cover the key qualifications needed by industry. Therefore, this…

Nguyen, Ha; Wu, Lily; Fischer, Christian; Washington, Gregory; Warschauer, Mark – Journal of Engineering Education, 2020
Background: Project-based learning has shown promise in improving learning outcomes for diverse students. However, studies on its impacts have largely focused on the perceptions of students and instructors or students' immediate performance. This study reports the impact of taking a project-based introductory engineering course on students'…

Boisadan, Andréa; Viazzi, Céline; Bourgognon, Christophe; Blandin, Bernard; Buisine, Stéphanie – Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning, 2022
During the first lockdown due to COVID-19 pandemic, project-based learning (PBL) had to be implemented remotely. To gain knowledge on this learning context, we monitored motivation (in Self-Determination Theory framework), flow, social identification and self-rated performance during a 10-day project conducted with 281 engineering students. Final…

Jamieson, Marnie V. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic public health measures caused a shift to fully online teaching and learning with minimal lead time two-thirds of the way through a 13 week term. Students and instructors pivoted from blended with face-to-face instruction to fully online learning over a weekend. Our team- and project-based chemical engineering design courses…
