This expands the task of educators from imparting contentknowledge to guiding students in experiences that produce new ideas (West, 2016). Science education can improve if educators are focused on teaching for transformative,aesthetic experiences (Pugh & Girod, 2006).

courses in engineering programs have long been offered with a primary focuson basic knowledge or skills. Such courses are characterized by lectures (directteaching) and homework assignments taken from textbooks. This context isdeteriorated by the fact that top universities in Taiwan have been emphasizing onresearch to some extent of overlooking the prominence of instructions. The majorstakeholders of engineering education, therefore, have stated major concerns. Forexample, the government urges to promote economic growth through new andinnovative model of high technology business; the employers demands the need for anew set of competences (ie. creativity, leadership and collaboration); college studentsregard their learning as rich but yet listless

Perhaps the low level of confidence concerning task 5 is itself anindication of a good appreciation of the engineering process. One of the themes of the course isthe way in which engineers build on what has gone before rather than starting from scratch toinvent something entirely new. Indeed, in the wrap-up discussion on the last class day onestudent explicitly mentioned as remarkable the incremental nature of engineering progress asopposed to a process that always begins with a clean slate.[2] end of course surveyAs is required for all courses at Macalester College, we conducted an end-of-course studentevaluation.

However, some of thetradeoffs include that PBL can be less effective at developing content knowledge, the wrongconclusions students reach may go uncorrected, the activities are often difficult for the instructorto implement, and students may be resistant to the new paradigm of being responsible for theirown learning [4, 5]. Several of these concerns may be mitigated by implementing an approachinvolving “scaffolding” as a balance between challenge and support, with heavy instructorsupport at the beginning of an activity that is then gradually reduced throughout the activity [2,4].
