PM-ET Method: a Product-based Engineering Training Program in Universities
This will discuss about a engineering training program for organizing challenge-based learning activities which emphasizes the integration of process/project management into engineering training (so it is called PMET method).Background: By setting up product-based learning objectives and applying matrix management format to organize teachers and teams of students, students are enabled to customize the learning path and the content according to their interests.Method: (1) the PM-ET method is designed based on parallel training sessions within fixed time slots where students can choose, which enhances connection between teams, (2) the instructors establish a product-based learning objective, which means connection within teams, (3) the instructors integrate process management methods and tools, such as CAD, DNC, and PDM, into course management, which visualizes the learning progress for the sake of both instructors and learners.Conclusion: As has been shown during the course and by student feedback, students are more involved and their creativity is well demonstrated in products they made.It is also found that it is an effective and efficient method for conducting and managing hands-on learning activities.Learners are motivated to work in collaboration to achieve higher goals.
