Problem-Based Learning Experience in Civil Engineering

Abstract

Abstract : The activity-based learning (ABL) is essential to be incorporated in teaching-learning process to attain graduate attributes in engineering education. Problem-based leaning (PBL) is one of such activities. This paper demonstrates the crafting of authentic PBL problems in Civil Engineering discipline. The problems can be of different durations and can be segregated in to various phases based on the knowledge acquired by the students and problem requirements. The experience of one phase of a PBL problem carried out is promising in exhibiting the improvement of skills of the students in solving the problems in the real-world scenario. PBL activity if incorporated in engineering curriculum will definitely result in enhanced Teaching-Learning process.
