A MOTIVATING PEDAGOGICAL APPROACH: 'LEARNING BY PROJECT' WITH AN ELECTRONIC DESIGN EXAMPLE OF ULTRASONIC TRACKING RADAR

摘要

This paper first shows the complexity of the relation between the new student generation and the teacher. We describe some major changes in student's behaviour and the consequences on the quality and efficiency of traditional pedagogy. Thus, we explain that the classical teaching method does not match anymore with the student's needs and we try to show an other way of teaching. Far from the theoretical and difficult traditional courses, "learning by project" can be an interesting alternating practical approach. The example of a small ultrasonic radar design project is used to describe this strategy.
