Tutorial: A Case Study on Integrated Learning
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Today's world has graduated engineers in large number with good knowledge of fundamental engineering science but engineers lacks ability to apply that in practice with real time problems. One major reason for this may be that our students are exam oriented. Our emphasis must be on "what is learnt" rather than "what is taught" in class. Faculty should transform themselves from teacher to facilitator. Conventional transform focuses much on engineering science and technical courses without providing sufficient integration between these two. As observed, students study different courses as black box without interconnection between them. This paper presents a learning method that effectively integrates Circuit analysis with Signals and Systems Course. Integrated learning motivates the students to put together the knowledge of the different courses studied previously or in the same semester and apply them in real time problems through integrated tutorials. This learning method facilitates 100% involvement of students in group; help them changing their approach towards learning the course and enabling them to understand the importance and application of what they are learning catering to large class room. Findings shows that there was a significant positive difference in students academic achievement and attitude towards learning the subject through this pedagogical activity.
