What is Active Learning in Engineering Education: Teaching Strategies and Methods of Overcoming Challenges about?

Traditional teaching practices have long been criticised as inadequate and inappropriate for engineering student learning, as they create a passive learning environment. Engineering students learn better using a modern method of teaching that is based on participating, acting, reacting, and reflecting, rather than by watching and listening to lectures. Active learning is one of the methods that develops professional knowledge and understanding of concept application and organisational, management, and communication skills. This paper discusses the advantages of implementing an active learning approach as an integral part of engineering education. It presents the challenges encountered in applying the active learning approach and the proposed method to adjust them in detail. The paper also describes the main teaching strategies of the active learning approach that could be implemented in engineering education.
