Mann, Llewellyn; Chang, Rosemary; Chandrasekaran, Siva; Coddington, Alicen; Daniel, Scott; Cook, Emily; Crossin, Enda; Cosson, Barbara; Turner, Jennifer; Mazzurco, Andrea; Dohaney, Jacqueline; O'Hanlon, Tim; Pickering, Janine; Walker, Suzanne; Maclean, Francesca; Smith, Timothy D. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2021
Problem-based learning (PBL) has a history of producing strong educational results in engineering; however, global society is challenged by highly complex environmental, socio-political and technical problems summarised in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This obliges us to explore educational approaches that address complexity. Yet,…

Li, Huaizhong; Öchsner, Andreas; Hall, Wayne – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2019
This paper introduced how a mechanical engineering course was redesigned by applying experiential learning theory to improve student engagement and learning experience. Design of machine elements has been considered by students to be a difficult course. Traditional teaching methods tend not to be effective in engaging students. Experiential…

Sern, Lai Chee; Salleh, Kahirol Mohd; Sulaiman, Nor lisa; Mohamad, Mimi Mohaffyza; Yunos, Jailani Md – Universal Journal of Educational Research, 2015
The research was conducted to compare the impacts of problem-based learning (PBL) and example-based learning (EBL) on the learning performance in an engineering domain. The research was implemented by means of experimental design. Specifically, a two-group experiment with a pre- and post-test design was used in this research. A total of 37…

Le Doux, Joseph M.; Waller, Alisha A. – Advances in Engineering Education, 2016
This paper describes the problem-solving studio (PSS) learning environment. PSS was designed to teach students how to solve difficult analytical engineering problems without resorting to rote memorization of algorithms, while at the same time developing their deep conceptual understanding of the course topics. There are several key features of…
