Learning outcomes could be “activelyparticipate in class discussions; avoid plagiarism in report writing and properly cite publishedsources; work in teams on mini-project, swapping roles as team member and leader; andconduct peer assessment of project team members.” Learning activities could be lecture andclass discussion on team work, and professional and ethical responsibility (includingplagiarism, citation and referencing); and project presentations and discussions. Assessmentmethods could be keeping records of active class participation (individual and group); recordsof meetings with project teams for individual and team work

It has case studies inseveral disciplines, including Engineering Design. It has synopses of various ways to useclass time, including case studies, peer learning, problem-based learning and project-basedlearning. It gives some advice on how to measure learning gains.

involvedin traditional lecture were found to be 1.5 times more likely to fail as compared to those in classes withsignificant active learning. Some of the active learning techniques are peer review, flipped classrooms,hands-on technology, and cooperative group problem solving. Here is a brief description of thesemethods [10].In “peer review”, students are asked to complete an individual homework assignment or short paper. Onthe day the assignment is due, students submit one copy to the instructor to be graded and one copy totheir partner. Each student then takes their partner's work and, depending on the nature of theassignment, gives critical feedback, and corrects mistakes in content and/or grammar.In the “flipped classroom”, class time is devoted

This we can refer to as conceptgroup learning activity.In a group environment, conflicts and controversies are resolved through proper explanation,justification; reflection and search for new knowledge.8 Student groups often come up withmutual support or solution via elaborative help that stimulates reorganization of thoughts andidentification of knowledge gaps thereby generating solution seeking ability among the studentgroup members. These circumstances also help students developing elaborate conceptualunderstanding by making use of new analogies, revisiting and reformulating their knowledge,which becomes more

In the first year, instruments were identified by searching peer-reviewed journalarticles, using branching techniques from reference sections of papers and reports, andidentifying innovative projects that may have developed and employed evaluation instruments.While comprehensive, this three-pronged strategy proved to be somewhat challenging forlocating instruments.
