Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of introducing project-based learning (PBL) in addition to traditional lectures, tutorials and laboratories, in helping electrical engineering students engage with contemporary industry issues and meet or exceed learning targets in a telecommunication subject within an Engineers Australia accredited curriculum. It was found that student feedback related to learning design, learning flexibility and assessments in particular improved when PBL is included.
