Project-Based Learning (PBL)

  • Is a student-centered and experimental approach to education promoting ‘deeper learning’ through active exploration of real-world problems and challenges.
  • Engages students in the problem definition, design process, contextual understanding and systems thinking approaches.
  • Includes a few hands-on activities that may or may not be multidisciplinary can be included.
  • Use of technology in meaningful ways to help them investigate, collaborate, analyze, synthesize and present their learning.
  • Activities of PBL will be based on solving real-life problems, investigation /study and writing reports of in-depth study, fieldwork.

 Objectives of PBL

  1. Impart technical knowledge and skills, and develop deeper understanding to integrate knowledge and skills from various areas.
  2. Build critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, collaboration and creativity, and innovation amongst students.
  3. Make students aware of their own academic, personal, and social developments.
  4. Develop habits of self-evaluation and self-criticism, against self-competency and trying to see beyond own ideas and knowledge.

Outcomes of PBL

At the end of this project-based learning, students will be able to

CO1: Identify, formulate, and analyze the simple project problem.

CO2: Apply knowledge of mathematics, basic sciences, and electrical engineering fundamentals to develop solutions for the project.

CO3: Learn to work in teams and to plan and carry out different tasks that are required during a project.

CO4: Understand their own and their team-mate’s strengths and skills.

CO5: Draw information from a variety of sources and be able to filter and summarize the relevant points.

CO6: Communicate to different audiences in oral, visual, and written forms.

Methodology /Process of PBL

  • Flexibility for making group of students as per area of interest within the practical batch OR (Roll No.1-5, 6-10).
  • List of Ideas/Problem Statements from Students and Mentors (Min 2-3 Ideas/ Problem Statements).
  • Faculty/Mentors will check out the feasibility of Ideas and accordingly Problem

Statements will be finalized and defined by 2-3 Mentors after student’s presentation.

  • Once the idea is finalized, students start working on that idea in a team of 4-5 students.
  • Every week, two practical slots are allotted to them and they have to work for a PBL project during that period under the guidance of mentors.
  • During the semester, two/ three reviews are taken by mentors for continuous assessment of the work.
  • The students have to maintain the PBL Record Book which will be monitored by mentors for continuous assessment.
  • After completion of the project, students have to present/demonstrate their ideas to the review committee.
