Project Based Learning

Project-based learning (PBL) involves students designing, developing, and constructing hands-on solutions to a problem. The educational value of PBL is that it aims to build students’ creative capacity to work through difficult or ill-structured problems, commonly in small teams. Typically, PBL takes students through the following phases or steps:

• 1. Identifying a problem
• 2. Agreeing on or devising a solution and potential solution path to the problem (i.e., how to achieve the solution)
• 3. Designing and developing a prototype of the solution
• 4. Refining the solution based on feedback from experts, instructors, and/or peers

Project-based innovation

To build expertise in engineering concepts the faculties have motivated the students and given them sufficient time to search few smart project ideas and discuss them with them. In return, students come up with brilliant upcoming ideas. The department has provided them with all the required space and technical support. With the help of faculty knowledge and the hard work done together results.

Benefits of Project-Based Learning:

• • Project-based learning connects students to the world outside of the classroom and prepares them to embrace and meet real-world difficulties in a way that replicates what professionals do every day.
• • project-based learning provides an opportunity for students to engage deeply with the target content, bringing about a focus on long-term retention.
• • The PBL structure lends itself to building intrinsic motivation because it centers student learning on a central question or problem and a meaningful outcome.
• • Students end up wanting to understand the answer or solution as much or more than the faculty wants to know what they know, understand, and are able to do.

Motivation

In this rethinking and self-directed learning process of innovation, our department is actively participating and motivating students to achieve the new century goals such as global awareness, creativity, collaborative problem-solving, and self-directed learning. Motivating by this thought student-educator bond is also taking the department to the next level.
