A survey conducted after the completion of the course projectpoints to evidence that 78% of the students benefitted from this innovative concept and 81% of thestudents reported that they learned something new from this concept. In other words, the studentslearned Project Management techniques as a result of this innovative concept. Encouraged by theresults, it is intended to continue this initiative when teaching courses with term projects. It is alsointended to continuously keep improving this process to make it more beneficial for the studentsboth from an academic and industry perspective.Keywords—project management, computer-aided engineering, computer-aided design, GanttchartI

www.slayte.com Changes of Project Based Learning Effectiveness due to the COVID-19 PandemicAbstract Project based learning (PBL) is an effective student-centered method to improve students’understanding. However, most PBL learning techniques rely heavily on a sequence of activitieswhich require interaction with other humans or components and equipment in the laboratory. Formany years, this method has proven effective and reliable particularly in STEM education. During the year when COVID-19 hit the world, PBL based education was implemented in thesame exact manner as previous years to teach a course in electronics to senior students in highschool. However, remarkable deterioration was observed in students
]. Bakırcı & Karışan [8] found that math PSThad lower STEM awareness than science and primary PST teachers. Many teach how theylearned within traditional settings [9]. PSTs can feel intimidated and overwhelmed whenincorporating engineering design or STEM [10], and need more help creating interdisciplinaryideas when un-siloing STEM content [11]. Katehi et al. [4] suggest that for teachers to teachengineering confidently, they must either have a STEM background or partner with someonewho does.PST education programs have a variety of methods to integrate STEM and Engineering into theircourse work. Some have a specific university course where PSTs learn about STEM and visitSTEM laboratories within the university [12] [13]. Others have a design
