Abstract

In today's world of transforming a traditional teacher centric learning to student centric learning, use of collaborative activities are essential. Project Based Learning is one of the efficient pedagogical tools. Project based learning is widespread and proven pedagogical tool to achieve a variety of learning outcomes. This tool has been used in course Programmable Logic Controller to understand core concepts of it and identify its applicability in real time scenarios which requires in-depth visualization. Programmable Logic Controller is program elective course taught in last semester of Electronics&Telecommunication engineering department. In this paper, the implementation of PBL to course is analysed with direct&indirect attainment of course outcomes. The paper intends to promote PBL as successful and active learning tool for student's engagement.
