The Department of Mechanical Engineering holds a workshop on problem-based learning

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Technology held a workshop on "problem-based learning"
(Problem based learning- pbl-) at the late Dr. Jawamir Selim Hall, attended by a group of lecturers of the department, Dr. Ahmed Nayef Al-Khazraji, AD Dr. Nabras Mohammed
The method of pbl is relatively modern (more than 30 years) began in applications in the medical field at a Canadian university in 1977 and then began to spread in various disciplines. Its applications in engineering fields were applied at the University of Manchester in 2001 and later applied at the University of Missouri, which has a cultural and scientific relationship with our university.
The method is to transform the traditional curriculum currently used by students from different subjects to a range of engineering and scientific problems that are related to the curriculum and serve the social reality according to the type of scientific material.
As for the mechanism of implementation according to this method, the class is divided into groups of students each group containing (4-6) students, and each problem given to students should be solved from (1-2) a week, two or three hours per week after the problem scenario is given by Article tutor.
The student groups begin to develop a curriculum and a scientific context to solve the problem and each group has the right to ask some questions to the teacher to facilitate the solution. The role of the material teacher is general guidance and training. The student has the greatest burden in self-learning and in the spirit of teamwork with his group, which was established from the beginning of the course and has the right to search through the internet or the different libraries of the world. Once the problem is resolved, a sample report will be written by the instructor.
