Student active learning tool for producing open resources in microwave engineering education

Abstract

Producing Open educational resources (OER) in engineering education utilizing the concept of project-based learning enables students to train and gain knowledge and skills and contribute to the learning process of other learners worldwide. The advantage of this new peer-to-peer approach is that it allows students to learn from their fellow students in an open domain, and hence provide a vantage point in the transformation of traditional classroom pedagogies into a new educational approach embodied in student-centred learning. A long-term experiment has been conducted at Princess Sumaya University for Technology to introduce the concept of project based learning in teaching a microwave engineering course at the undergraduate level and hence produce OER material to allow students over the globe to utilize in their learning process.
