Clark, Renee M.; Wang, Mohan; Splain, Zachary A.; Chen, Kevin P. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2020
Contribution: A hybrid approach involving reduced lecture content with project-based learning (PBL) was introduced to a standalone course in optics at an engineering school not specialized in this area, with promising results. Background: At most schools, optics is an elective "niche" area involving a single senior course. This presents…

Martinez, F.; Herrero, L. C.; de Pablo, S. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2011
Project-based learning (PBL) and cooperative learning are, in various aspects, very superior education methodologies compared to other traditional ones. They are highly appropriate methodologies for elective courses, as they exert a strong attraction on the students, quite apart from their educational advantages. This paper describes how PBL and…
