An Interactive Project-based Teaching Methodology in Electrical Engineering Courses
نویسنده
چکیده
A teacher-centred pedagogical approach and a technical content disconnected with real world industry applications are two of the main causes that explain a low motivation in engineering studies. This work proposes a learner-centred interactive methodology together with a project-based teaching to overcome both problems and achieve a life-long learning. The proposed methodology is successfully applied to different subjects in the Electrical Engineering studies at the University of Málaga.
