Teaching and Learning Methods

1. Active and Engaged Learning. Students are required to attend the sessions regularly. Students learn by doing, making, writing, designing, creating, and solving. Active participation of the students during discussion is expected. Learning is an active process, and as such, students must engage with the course materials, i.e. reading the textbook and other assigned advanced readings.

2. Problem-based learning. After each topic, sample problems will be provided to students. Working in groups, students identify what they already know, what they need to know, and how and where to access new information that may lead to resolution of the problem.

Assessment Methods

Assessment is through a combination of written examinations (homework, quizzes and examinations) and problem sets (written reports, simulations and computer program/ system which students develop using various engineering tools).

B. Subject-Specific Skills

B1. An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data. B2. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems; and B3. An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering

practice.



2. Collaborative learning. Students will be divided into groups with at least three (3) members and each group will be provided with problems or projects that they will work on together to search for understanding, meaning, or solutions Each group is expected to work together in solving particular engineering problems, discuss the algorithm of the problems, and present the solution in class.

3. Discovery-based learning. During laboratory hours, students will be given experiments to work in groups where they can apply the theories and principles learned. This is an opportunity to have hands-on experience and maximize their learning through actual simulation.

Assessment Methods

Assessment is through a combination of written examinations (essays, class tests, homework) and assessed coursework (problem sets, laboratory exercises and machine problems).

C. Thinking Skills

C1. An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering.

C2. An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economics, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety,

manufacturability, and sustainability.
