Abstract

Project-based learning is deemed to be effective in boosting student learning experiences and performance. By incorporating a blended learning approach, the use of iPads has been integrated into engineering project in the foundation in engineering (FIE) program under Taylor's University, Malaysia. The innovative teaching and learning aspects lie in consolidating the student's interest in playing with their iPad into productive learning by solving engineering challenges through conceive-design-implement-operate (CDIO) framework. The project requires the students to build a robocar to complete a certain challenge, which benchmarked with the public robotic competition. iPad was used for learning, designing, brainstorming, preparing project management documentation, and controlling the robocar. The practice has raised the in-depth learning skill while creatively solving an engineering challenge when they progress into the undergraduate program. The FIE students show better and satisfactory overall learning outcomes attainment as compared to the non-FIE students.
