Implementing PBL to Enhance Technical Knowledge through Design Thinking Process

Abstract

The traditional method of teaching is no longer effective so every instructor wants to use new pedagogy to enhance students learning and knowledge. Many challenges are faced by the instructors in teaching to Mechanical Engineering graduates where grabbing students' interest towards the concepts is difficult. Hence, there is a need to have different methodologies to understand course concepts. Moreover, without the knowledge of course content the practical implementation from lab to industry becomes a herculean task. Renewable Energy is one of the subjects in mechanical engineering for III year I semester that needs practical application to understand the importance of the subject and its impact in our daily life. Therefore, instructor has conducted PBL (Project Based Learning) for solving society based problems by following design thinking process. This paper gives insight on the conduct of the activity planned, executed and its success by following the design thinking process. The impact of this activity encouraged many students to implement the same way of learning in renewable energy subject.
