Apart from identifying labs that are willing to accept undergraduates,successful matching requires an as yet unknown combination of interests, skills, implicit orexplicit mindsets, and demographic factors. In a single department these factors may be knownto a limited extent of both the labs and the undergraduate applicants. With enough priorexperience one might intuit a good

The strategy was to use problem oriented methodology in a collaborative setup.Results: The main learning objectives were fulfilled and students reported a high level ofsatisfaction with the content and the methodology of the course.IntroductionCollaboration in education is seen as joining intellectual efforts between groups of students orbetween students and instructors to achieve a common goal. Collaborative learning is the heart ofproblem-based learning, which emphasizes a more “natural learning” [2]. Cooperative learningrepresents an active field of

In order to support this and other problem-based exercises, thecourse schedule has been updated, from 3 hours lecture per week, to 2 hours lecture and 2 hourslaboratory per week. The laboratory sessions will allow for more in-class, hands on instructionwith the advanced engineering tools used in projects.
