Community-engaged experiential learning (CEEL) has emerged as a model of teaching and learning that provides postsecondary institutions with a framework for meaningfully connecting with their wider communities in ways that ensure mutual benefits. This study explores CEEL, including the challenges and value of CEEL, in the context of international…

This case study piloted an interdisciplinary Problem-Based Learning course, utilizing Hung's (2006) 3C3R model. We explain the course design, curriculum, and implementation. We collected qualitative written questionnaires from students who participated in the course to investigate their learning experiences. As a result, students shed light on…

The competence to innovate is critical for engineering students, as work environments and society are constantly changing. However, innovation competence is often not (explicitly) part of teaching, and teachers struggle to teach students this competence. To address this problem, a course to train undergraduate engineering students' innovation…

This study aimed to develop a maker spirit problem-based learning (PBL) innovation and entrepreneurship course and explore its impact on students' learning effectiveness.
