Hybrid mode during Perth business hours OVERVIEW OF WORKSHOPThe final year capstone project is a major milestone for any student completing an engineering degree irrespective of discipline. With the disruption of the Covid-19 pandemic, all design project(s) courses since 2020 have resulted in innovative additions and modifications to existing course activities to be inclusive of the diverse learning environment of the cohort. This includes the capability of running industry-linked projects on-line to cater for both face-to-face and remote distance students and industry sponsors, restricted by border closures and time zones.
Hybrid during Perth business hours OVERVIEW OF WORKSHOPThe importance of integrating tasks that are relevant to graduate practice into the engineering curriculum has been widely recognised. One key approach is project-based learning; however, there are significant barriers to improvement and wider adoption of practice-based approaches-including (but not limited to) the cost of scaling up projects for large cohorts, appropriately qualified teaching staff, organisational structures-which can lead to inauthentic approaches and staff attrition.The team has received an AAEE engineering education grant to identify current best practice and support mechanisms for project-based learning. The project will provide greater clarity to teaching staff on what best practice in project-based learning is and what support they ought to seek from their T&L leadership for their project-based learning courses. The purpose of the workshop is to share and discuss preliminary data from the team's project and provide an opportunity to share experiences of running project-based learning. ACTIVITIESGroup-facilitated discussion around experiences of teaching via project-based learning will be conducted. Exemplars of project-based learning practice and support mechanisms for successful project-based learning will be provided by workshop facilitators and followed by semi-structured group facilitated discussions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
