Use of a case study approach to teach engineering technology students

摘要

This paper describes a case study-based instructional approach used to teach baccalaureate degree electro-mechanical engineering technology (BSEMET) students. The need for an instructional model based on engineering case studies and the development and implementation of this model in selected BSEMET courses are described. Examples of engineering case studies used in these courses are presented. The results of implementation of a case study-based instructional model are described.
