Abstract

At Higher Colleges of Technology, UAE, the objective has been to prepare students to be workready and professionally equipped for immediate employment. Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) course is taught for the Bachelor of Science (Mechanical Engineering) students as an elective during their graduation year. To develop in-depth knowledge and student understanding of the CIM course and to help them prepare for the work force; course delivery methodology and the assessment strategies were modified to adapt PBL. Project Based Learning (PBL) - a successful teaching strategy in higher education has been gaining popularity in the engineering education community. The details of the projects, requirements, assessment strategy and the benefits of adapting PBL approach are presented in this paper.
