. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016Supporting STEM knowledge and skills in engineering education – PELARS projectAbstractIn this paper we present our proposal for improving education with hands-on, project-based andexperimental scenarios for engineering students with the use of learning analytics. We accomplishthis through teacher and learner engagement, user studies and evaluated trials, performed at UCV(University of Craiova, Romania) and DTU (Technical University of Denmark). The PELARSproject (Practice-based Experiential Learning Analytics Research And Support) providestechnological tools and ICT-based methods for collecting activity data (moving image-based andembedded sensing) for learning

Furthermore, project-based learning is alsodeployed in order to enable students from different countries and across diverse disciplines toengage in the interactive peer-to-peer learning within the same virtual learning environment inorder to develop their collaborative design skills that are otherwise difficult, if not impossible, toacquire in traditional engineering classes. Specifically, the class was equally divided into 16project teams, each was composed of 2 American, 1 Israelite, 2 Indian, 1 Chinese, and 1 Koreanstudents. These globally distributed teams were tasked a semester-long project to design “acollaborative learning space on university campus”. They went through four major milestones
