Integrated learning and project-based learning for project of electrical measurement and instrumentations in electrical engineering course

Abstract

Using integrated learning and project-based learning can make correlation of knowledge and skills in order to make students apply the knowledge to become a new knowledge for creating project to be prepared for Thailand 4.0 with the topic electrical measuring instrumentation project with the Internet of thing. The research process divided into 3 parts: 1) topics analysis and objectives analysis for integrated learning 2) project-based learning for projects assignment and 3) Integrated learning and project-based learning. The sample were 18 4th year students in Electrical engineering manufacturing department, Bansomdejchaopraya Rajabhat University. The assessment stages were followed by 1) project proposal 2) project planning and design 3) project implementation 4) project evaluation and 5) project presentation and report. The result found that: students can create their electrical measuring instrumentation group’s project from this learning method and the students’ evaluation and feedback were agree with this learning model. In conclusion, leaning by using integrated learning and project-based learning can improve thinking skills, teamwork skills, use of technology and other skills related to their project topic such as microcontroller and computer programming also promoting students-centered and gives the opportunity to make discussion between students and lecturer to suggest and solve students problems.
