Background: In countries that endorse science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education as an educational movement, design-based learning is deemed a pedagogical approach. Purpose: Because the integration of the engineering design process and scientific investigation has been an issue in science education, this study examined the…

Contribution: A project-based active learning approach with the collaborative pedagogical environment is used to train electrical engineers, focusing on loading characteristic of motors where extrapolated knowledge from advanced classes and feedback from the industry professionals are used to engage fellow students to improve their conceptual and…

The term "tooling" refers to a variety of devices that increase production efficiency in manufacturing. Incorporating the appropriate tooling in the production process generally improves accuracy, speed, and safety. This in turn leads to more profit for the producer and lower prices for the consumer. This article introduces students to two common…
