Thisoverview provides context for the pedagogical approach discussed in this paper which combinesproject-based learning and large-scale laboratory experimentation. Based upon a review ofpublished research related to structural steel design instruction, there have been no similar steeldesign courses which use this teaching approach to expose students to the lateral load resistingframe systems common in seismic areas.Project-based LearningPast engineering pedagogy research has shown that incorporating a project-based approach in astructural steel course, that reflects a task similar to that in industry, is more effective than thetraditional lecture approach [2-3

The classical instruction approachis based on lectures and laboratories assisted by teachers. However, power electronics teaching is not aneasy task, due to subject complexity, difficulties and student motivation. A natural and efficient way ofteaching power electronics is the problem-oriented and project-based learning (PBL) approach. PBL, as aproblem-centered teaching motivates students to learn actively, bringing real professional world andrequirements closer to the student, is

is reached.The second shortcoming is that labs are limited to three-hour-long experiments conducted in astrictly controlled environment due to safety concerns, leaving little room for exploration andindependent trial-and-error.One attractive complement to the lecture/lab approach is simulations. Simulation software allowsstudents to operate realistic power electronics circuits on their own time, and hence gain a morethorough understanding of the concepts they are exposed to in lectures at their own pace.There have been multiple reports of simulations being successfully used to augment teaching inengineering courses.

working on the homework exercises.  Promote lifelong learning – One part of the first Basic PLC laboratory exercise – construct the logic to make two lamps to alternately flash at a given period – requires the student groups to think. No solution is given to them and it is not covered in the prior course lectures, though the lab teaching assistant will help them to figure out the solution. In addition, at the end of each laboratory exercise, the students ask a series of reflection questions to help them evaluate their performance and what they could do better.All of these courses were initiated in response to industry demand. In the 1980’s, AT&Tsponsored a project to develop manufacturing-related courses
