Computational thinking (CT) is an essential component of critical skills for university students, representing the ability to analyze and solve problems. In accordance with constructivist learning theory and the core elements of cultivating CT, this research has developed a Project-Based Teaching approach with computational thinking as its focal…

This paper develops a Problem-Based Learning as a Service-Based Skills Development (PBL-SBSD) model that aims to meet student curriculum needs by providing them with lifelong skills while solving an identified real-life problem in their community. The paper introduces a six-stage cyclical model combining project-based learning (PBL) and…

Background: Interprofessional education represents an opportunity for healthcare and design students to deepen their understanding of users and enhance skill development through collaborative experiences. Embedding these collaborative experiences within entire curricula moves the notion of experiential learning from stand-alone projects towards…

This paper presents details of remodelling of an engineering design subject to enhance students' learning outcome. The subject is offered for second year mechanical engineering undergraduates in the first semester of the academic year. The basic objective of the subject is to introduce the engineering design practice and to build up the essential…

This study aims to investigate the differences between male and female students in technology project design. The major gender differences discussed in this study include the problem discovering and solving abilities, maneuverability, and inquiry attitude among middle grade students. In the project design, students were required to design and…

Modern engineering curricula have started to emphasize design, mostly in the form of design-build experiences. Apart from instilling important problem-solving skills, such pedagogical frameworks address the critical social skill aspects of engineering education due to their team-based, project-based nature. However, it is required of the…
