Hence, application-based projects are a reliabletool for the overall development of the students in a learning environment. II. APPLICATION BASED PROJECTS The need for the inclusion of the application-based projects in the engineering curriculum, is best describedby a popular quotation: “Tell me and I forget, Teach me and I remember, Involve me and I learn.”The aim of this paper is to establish the role of the integration of application-based
