AB  -        A novel game-based approach for teaching an engineering course:                  Implementation in Mechanical Vibration courseProfound and applicable understanding of most engineering courses has to be achieved by beingexposed to different examples and solving a variety of problems. This process is inherently timeconsuming and difficult and can easily become boring.The method presented in this paper offers a game-based approach to enhance students learning.Students are divided into teams, competing with each other every week based on an organizedmatch-up schedule. At each match-up, points are awarded based on the performance on solvingan assigned problem and explaining that to the rest of the students. A “Q and A” session followseach presentation for additional points. Certain measures are discussed to improve the process ofassigning members for teams and contribution of every member to the overall results. The rules are thoroughly explained and the motivations behind them are discussed. In addition,the faced challenges during the implementation are discussed and the adopted remedies areelaborated. The efficiency of the method has been verified by pre and post evaluations ofstudents learning assessment and students’ feedback. The paper proposes a novel teachingmethod which successfully exploits the excitement and fun in playing games in order to improvethe learning experience for students while improving their social skills such as teamwork andpresentation skills. The method proposed is independent of the course contents and therefore canbe applied to any other engineering course.
