Active learning is an effective technique for imparting domain knowledge and life skills. How-ever, it is an extremely resource hungry model. The proposed work shows the implementation of active learning for an engineering program in a constrained environment. It uses a project spanning across multiple courses, taught by different faculty, as a technique for active learning. With an aim to experiment with this technique, students were given challenging real-world problems. The proposal describes the goals of these pedagogic experiments, design constraints, projects content, deliverables, implementation methodology, and quantitative analytics. The ef-fectiveness of ongoing experiments has been assessed over three years with more than 200 stu-dent participants. Statistical analysis and student’s satisfaction survey reveals that a project across courses increases the intrinsic motivation of a student while imparting domain knowledge and life skills.

“…For example, we recommend that teachers integrate game-based teaching with the S-TPNWL. According to various scholars, game-based teaching is an effective inclass tool since it has a considerable impact on motivation, experience, and understanding of learners and should be included in the curriculum (Haungs et al, 2008;Hanghøj & Brund, 2010;Kafai, 2006;Leutenegger & Edgington, 2007;Shawer, 2010;Simpson & Stansberry, 2008. Therefore, we suggest using the S-TPNWL as a source for creating Kahoot activities to maintain students' attention while in class.…”

A lack of knowledge of the political terminology used in news writing makes it difficult for L2 learners of English in the field of political science to keep themselves abreast of current worldwide political situations. This study built a semi-specialised word list for political science students interested in international political news. The Political News Corpus (PNC) was compiled between January 1, 2019 and June 30, 2021 from 6 news agencies: CNN, Politico, BBC, The Sun, ABC News, and 9News. The PNC contained 4,814 news items with a total size of 3,837,958 running words. Five criteria based on Laosrirattanachai and Ruangjaroon's (2021) Filters (lexical frequency, lexical range, lexical profiling, lexical keyness, and expert consultation) were used to build the Semi-Technical Political News Word List (S-TPNWL). The AntWordProfiler programme (Anthony, 2014) and the Key-BNC programme (Graham, n.d.) were used to extract candidate words. The findings showed that the S-TPNWL contained 172 word families and covered approximately 5.28 per cent of the PNC. Political science students interested in international political news could utilise the S-TPNWL to increase their vocabulary range and understanding when reading political news. Also, teachers can benefit from the S-TPNWL by using it as a reference for creating teaching materials.

“…A good example of this is the VaNTH model applied to biomedical engineering [15] in which writing is divided into modules based on how people learn and work together in problem-and case-based situations. Another example is the cornerstone class model outlined in [16].…”
