“…Students are expected to reinforce the underlying theories while also gaining practical experience in these disciplines thanks to the project-based teaching technique. This allows pupils to more effectively examine and solve challenges Paul Crilly et al (2014). For the semiconductor circuit design course at Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH), a new teaching strategy (e-learning, video lectures, peer training, etc.)…”

The proposed work discusses the progress of engineering curriculum development and the advancement of the engineering learning ecosystem. While technology advances around the pupils, engineering principles and methods remain static. The objective of this paper is to investigate self-directed learning and collaborative learning ways among CDIO curriculum batch of students using Active Learning Techniques (ALT). The learning ecosystem for students to grasp and generate a creative solution for a complex problem connected to their academic application was discovered in the suggested work's framework. The article explains how instructors can prepare students for nextgeneration industrial readiness by using an active learning technique that emphasizes both intellectual and practical learning. The study's focus is on novel material delivery strategies, demobased peer training, and project-based learning activities that address cognitive and kinesthetic skills of students. The CDIO education framework for electrical machines course is described here, as well as the syllabus structure, cognitive level approach, and kinesthetic level approach, all of which improved engineering education topology. Keywords—Electrical machine, cognitive skills, kinesthetics skills, blooms taxonomy.

“…Several initiatives have been made to move teaching from traditional face-to-face focusing on analytical or semi-analytical approaches towards practice-discovery sessions decoupling to a certain extent the mathematics from the physical understanding, so that the student will be motivated and engaged into electromagnetics before taking the burden of heavily mathematical constructs [4]. Some of these initiatives include project-based learning [5,6], problembased learning [7], flipped classroom [8], experiential learning [9] and other pedagogical approaches [10]. Such strategies intensively engage the student interactively in assigned pre-work based on conceptual questions and realistic examples in order to develop their problem-solving skills.…”

Student engagement continues to be a major challenge, particularly in electromagnetics courses. This is independent of whether courses are compulsory or elective. This paper presents an approach to assessing students that provides them with an opportunity for experiential learning, following Kolb's learning cycle. Final year students are required to develop and complete two experimental projects over the 12-week trimester. At the outset of each project, pairs of students choose a three-line project outline; projects are unique to each two-person group with an obscure but practical industrial outcome designed to complement the lecture material. To succeed, students must continue to discuss their project strategies, measurements and final applications with the teaching team throughout the trimester. Students have rated the course experience very highly, and in some cases, their projects have enhanced their post-graduation employment opportunities in the field directly related to one of their projects.

“…6 performed a good job in defining the education material but it was more focused on specifically some antennas. Crilly 7 suggested an innovative approach to teach both electromagnetics and antennas with a focus on electromagnetics, microwave theory, and electromagnetic compatibility. Excell 8 explained the addition of computational electromagnetics into the antennas and electromagnetics course.…”

In this paper, an approach for teaching basic antenna theory and propagation to senior level undergraduate students for electrical engineering related fields is proposed and described. The method combines mathematical and theoretical studies with antenna design and laboratory measurements to reinforce the subject’s theoretical and practical aspects together. Topics discussed in lectures include performing antenna radiation calculations, learning how to make antenna radiation pattern measurements, and designing of antennas such as microstrip patch antenna. The education is based on teaching these principles and enabling students to make some antenna measurements. At the end of the semester, an analysis on learning outcomes of the course was performed and feedback from students was taken. The feedback from students showed that there was a huge satisfaction in terms of achieving the goals in learning outcomes. The course structure proposed can be a good example for instructors who teach antennas and propagation courses.
