an overwhelming satisfaction with this subject.Key words: Education for professions, inductive education, engineering educationIntroductionThe re-making of Victoria University (VU) as A New School of Thought has led to, in 2005,both engineering schools at VU to adopt new educational paradigms. It was thought thatthe adoption of a Problem and Project Based Learning (PBL) as a tool for a pedagogical andcurriculum design would address some of the problems confronting engineering education atVU. The new pedagogical paradigm was to address the ongoing problems and issues whichhave beset engineering education at VU, which were:• Poor student intake into undergraduate engineering courses at VU. Student intake into all the engineering
data have beengathered on how challenges should be designed in order to appeal to students, whileimproving their skills by acquiring and retaining knowledge and understanding theconcepts involved in the challenges. CBI is considered a relatively new approach toengage and involve students and instructors in the education process and to continuouslykeep interest in the subjects, provide feedback, and achieve lasting understanding ofconcepts and adaptive expertise skills. It is expected that in this project, most studentswill acquire and retain knowledge by going through the process of searching for solutionsto the challenges, which require performing hands-on activities. During this process,students may use and develop their abilities to work in

American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 Project-Based Learning Using the Robotic Operating System (ROS) for Undergraduate Research Applications Project-based learning (PBL) has been shown to be one of the more effective methodsteachers use in engineering and computer science education. PBL increases the student’smotivation in various topic areas while improving student self-learning abilities. Typically, PBLhas been employed most effectively with junior- and senior-level bachelor of science (B.S.)engineering and computer science students.
