The learning perspective for the course of instrumentation technique through project based learning

Abstract

Now-a-days, instrumentation system configuration plays a vital role in the industrial process and manufacturing units. To know more details about the instrumentation system and learn about the basic ideas related system configuration and how to embed the system in real time applications and make use of programming languages. The project-based learning technique use to enhance knowledge of programming skills and implementation of the problem. This paper describes an intrusion to enhance students learning by adding the skill-oriented projects in instrumentation course to improve the knowledge about the current trends in instrumentation. This paper discusses the process of improving student performance by implementing PBL technique and the validated through comparing course attainment of two cases. i.e. with and without PBL. Also describes the assessment criteria to evaluate the student projects as per the rubrics. The results show that the implementation of the PBL improved higher-order cognitive skills, self-learning, teamwork, communication skills and involvement of the students to impart both technical content as well as generic professional skills.
