AB  -           Engineering Student’s Perceptions on Cooperative Problem-         Based Learning (CPBL) in Inculcating Generic Skills for Better                                EmployabilityAbstractCooperative Problem-Based Learning (CPBL) is an emerging teaching method in engineeringeducation for a class size of 30 to 60 students. CPBL aims to achieve deep learning amongengineering students and at the same time inculcating generic skills essential for their futurecareer such as teamworking, critical thinking, communication skills, lifelong learning, problemsolving skills and so on. Previous studies using quantitative methods have shown that CPBL canimprove problem solving skills and teamworking skills. It is crucial to understand how CPBLinculcate some of these skills. In order to understand how these skills developed, an ethnographicstudy applying classroom observations and interviews with a class of third year chemicalengineering students for one full semester was carried out to investigate their perceptions on theacquisition of these generic skills through CPBL. Field notes taken during the classroomobservations and interview transcripts were analyzed qualitatively. It was found that the studentsshowed resistance and negative perceptions towards CPBL at the early stage or at the beginningof the semester. However, as more case studies or problems were given using CPBL, the studentsstarted to change their perceptions and most of them came to the realization that CPBL hassharpen their skills in teamworking, critical thinking, lifelong learning and communication skills.This evolution of perception from resistance to acceptance towards CPBL and realization of theimportance of CPBL towards their future careers is a very encouraging finding for engineeringlecturers to conduct CPBL in their classes.
