conference contribution
posted on 2013-01-01, 00:00 authored by Sivachandran Chandrasekaran, Aleksandar Stojcevski, Guy Littlefair, Matthew JoordensMatthew JoordensThe focus of this research paper is to illustrate students views on design based learning, and in particular to investigate and present how important design based learning is for a career in engineering. Students need to acquire various skills by learning and practicing engineering, which is necessary to explore themselves according to the industry requirements. However students and educators are not aware of existing industry requirements of graduates. In learning and teaching institutions, practicing design is one of the fundamental processes in engineering and all other engineering activities related to it. When students require the opportunity to apply their knowledge to solve design problems, design based learning is generally recorded as an innovative method for engineering education. This paper presents research findings from a quantitative analysis of student views on design based learning for future career readiness in engineering.
