Active Learning – Hands-On, Minds-On
Our Faculty launched a new initiative in Active Learning in engineering - a paradigm shift from subject-first teaching to problem-first learning. Instead of prescribing topics, we immerse students in real-world scenarios.
​​
Through the course ENGG1101 - Engineering Challenges, students analyse the context, frame the problem, and identify the knowledge, tools, and skills required to act.
​
Course lecturers/tutors become coaches: guiding inquiry, modeling professional judgment, and curating resources rather than solely delivering content.
​
This student will develop:
-
Problem-framing and systems thinking, not just problem-solving.
-
The ability to self-assess gaps and rapidly acquire new knowledge.
-
Collaboration, communication, and ethical decision-making under real constraints.
Possible Minor Options
In general, students have to complete 6 to 8 courses in a minor in addition to their study in the BEng programme.
