Project based Learning: Some Illustrations for Electrical Engineering Students

Abstract

Building a project is a most important aspect of engineering education. Project Based Learning (PBL) is not only much effective but also it gives a lot of other skills to students and it is found to be more engaging and appealing for students. PBL is exciting as well as most important part of learning for engineering students. These projects are either part of syllabus or some time students make it for learning, participating in competitions, their own interest in a particular topic etc. It is seen that most of such projects are not used in any application after its development which results in loss of efforts, time and money.

This work proposes that the main focus of such projects should be on application. With some examples, it is suggested that the projects can also be made to solve some day to day problems existing in the system or improvement of some of the systems of the college so that the college or students can be benefited. It will also encourage the student who has made it along with other students.
