Study of Product-Based Learning Approach in Designing Electronics Systems Curricula

Abstract

Product-Based Learning (PBL) is currently acknowledged as one of the most effective approaches in the development of curriculum in the electronics systems education. This methodology alters the dynamics where instead of conventional teacher-centered classroom lectures, the organization approaches learning in an applications-centered way. In Electronics systems, knowledge is constructed through affecting and being affected by the context and PBL enables the students to come up with new electronic products, to implement them, and to modify them through practicing. Thus, lesson-by-lesson adoption of theoretical section and its immediate application in solving practical problems helps the students gain a better hold on the base, including topic like circuit design, signal processing and system integration. It not only develops specific technical knowledge but also problem-solving skills and critical thinking along with team-work as the designers turn into engineers to solve the project problems. The goal of this paper is to introduce a product-based learning approach that enables engineering students to develop their skills in electronics systems design. Using real-world projects, students can gain hands-on experience and improve their problem-solving capabilities. The study also explores the various advantages of this approach, such as its ability to retain students' knowledge and improve their engagement.
