“…In addition to the mentioned approaches, some techniques have been applied in the progress of projects, such as virtual meetings, e-learning, skill sections, game elements, Matlab, robots and communities of practice, among others (Prince & Felder, 2006;Bellmunt et al, 2006;Behrens et al, 2010;McLurkin et al, 2013;Santos-Martin et al, 2012;Soares et al, 2014;Hosseinzadeh & Hesamzadeh, 2012;Warren et al, 2012). Finally, as a tool for evaluation, peer evaluation was used in the composition of students' grades (De los Ríos-Carmenado et al, 2015;Chau, 2007;Palmer & Hall, 2011;Hosseinzadeh & Hesamzadeh, 2012;Mantri et al, 2008;Hersam et al, 2004;Rodríguez et al, 2015;Kumar & Hsiao, 2007).…”

“…Its increasing influence in courses such as electrical, electronics, automation, industrial, software, telecommunications and nanotechnology engineering is motivated by various reasons. The first is the necessity to graduate engineers capable of dealing with industrial problems, who are able to face new technological challenges (Bellmunt et al, 2006). Second is the need to implement best practices and innovations in engineering education (Somerville et al, 2005).…”

The Industrial Engineering undergraduate program offered at the University of Brasília was structured on Project Based Learning (PBL) methodology. This innovative educational proposal allows the students to deploy their technical competencies through real problem solving situations. The methodology also stimulates the development of the students' soft skills, by exposing them to a challenging environment. At the end of each project, the results are presented to an external agent, and are subsequently implemented. The objective of this paper is to present the evolution of the PSP courses, which adopt as guidelines both the PMBOK project management framework, as well as content from specific technical courses related to the project's subject. One other relevant aspect of the PSP courses is their involvement of both undergraduate and graduate students from different Engineering areas, such as Industrial, Mechanical and Civil Engineering, which serves to foster a more holistic and integrated problem-solving skillset. KeywordsEngineering education. Industrial engineering. Production System Project (PSP). approach are intrinsically linked to the acquisition of knowledge that can be applied in a professional environment, in improving existing skills, and for problem solving as a whole.Project Based Learning utilizes continuous questioning as a teaching and learning technique. This particular strategy has been adopted by the University of Brasilia (UnB) in its Industrial Engineering course. The use of this approach encourages the student to seek knowledge by proposing solutions to real problems, introduced by external agents. The student becomes the subject of the learning process, as his or her learning depends on the constant search for new knowledge, technologies, methods, techniques and tools that can be used in carrying out activities that will permit them to arrive at feasible solutions.The PBL approach provides the student with a deeper understanding of the studied content, as it puts into practice the theoretical concepts and strategies for problem solving. At the same time, it fosters the development of multidisciplinary capabilities related to communication, leadership, management, and the development of a reasoned critical thinking (Witt et al., 2006;De los Ríos-Carmenado et al., 2015;Miranda, 2004). According to Barell (2007), there is an effective increase in students' performance, due to both the greater retention of information available, and to the motivation and interest that is fostered by resolving real-life issues.

“…For the test portion, one may consider offering a remote laboratory service, as has been implemented for other remote-learning engineering courses (e.g., [20], [21]). However, while the priority in our course is for students to obtain experimental data in order to validate their designs, we believe that a significant portion of the design aspect of the course is the design of the experiments themselves.…”

Abstract-We report our recent successful experiences related to the development of a transcontinental course in silicon photonics offered by the University of British Columbia in collaboration with CMC Microsystems. The course is offered to students from across Canada and has attracted participants from nearly every Canadian university with an advanced photonics research program.The focus of the course is the rapidly developing field of silicon photonics. Its aim is to provide the students with a breadth of competencies in designing optical circuits and systems using a silicon-on-insulator platform. The students taking the course gain familiarity in design, fabrication, and testing in an area of photonics that is destined to play an increasingly important, and in the long run ubiquitous, role in optical circuitry, impacting on areas such as optical interconnects, communications systems, and sensor systems.The course is structured using a blended-learning pedagogical approach consisting of an on-site workshop followed by designbased e-learning. The students' designs are fabricated using IMEC's passive photonic cSOI process, which is accessed through the European silicon photonics prototyping service ePIXfab. Student projects to date have included the design of integratedoptical circuits using combinations of ring resonators, waveguides, couplers, and photonic crystals for applications such as filters for WDM optical interconnects, demodulators for phase modulated signals, and lab-on-chip sensors.
