This involved dissection of anexisting product, carrying out functional decomposition to understand the functional relationshipsbetween component parts, identifying gaps in the design, and bridging gaps in the designs by eitherimproving the design or coming up with a new design. Given that students carried out theseactivities in groups, they developed teamwork skills, improved their communication skills, andenhanced their critical thinking skills.

It has been well established that for adult learning to occur, motivation and reflection must be present[19]. To achieve intrinsic motivation, the learner must have a sense of autonomy, competence, and afeeling of belonging [20]. Educators play a multifaceted role in promoting those needs by activelyfacilitating inclusive and engaging learning experience while tailoring their approach to meet the diverseneeds of adult learning, thereby promoting autonomy and competence[21]. When learners collaborate ona PBL assignment, intrinsic motivation can either be enhanced or disturbed. The determinant factors ofintrinsic motivation level in this case are self-evaluation, attitude of the learning about education, and theimportance of goals [19]. When

Bydefault, project management is an active learning exercise that involves a diverse group ofindividuals. The literature in project management education supports this underlying personalbelief. “Preparing students for professional practice is enhanced by the use of ‘authentic’ tasksand assessments that reflect the practices and outputs encountered in the profession” [1]. Inorder to be authentic, it needs to be a real executable project. The literature also speaks about thedisappointment with practitioners on the skills of students and that has been confirmed withadvisory boards in our college.In addition, students who took the previous version

]. Heart rate variability measures changes in heart rate over time,an indication of autonomic functioning. This variability in heart rate reflects the body’s ability torespond to changes in stimuli; a higher HRV indicates a balanced autonomic nervous system(ANV) that is adaptive to different environments, while a low HRV indicates an imbalancedANV. For individuals with anxiety, this means that the natural “fight or flight” response isoperating in overdrive, resulting in added stress [7]. Sensors used to measure heart rate typically use either Electrocardiography (ECG) orPhotoplethysmography (PPG) technology [7]. ECG relies on the measurement of electricalsignals on the skin's surface to measure HRV. The nerve and muscle cells, including

The steps areknown as active experimentation, reflecting observation, abstract conceptualization, and concreteexperience (doing) (using the ECP approach) as shown in Figure 2. It is anticipated that studentswill retain more information after taking courses that follow all these procedures [12, 13].Students directed through the learning cycle are also exposed to more excellent educationalopportunities and chances for individual thought and self-discovery.Fig.2 Kolb’s Learning Theory3 Methodology3.1 The Use of Experimentation and
