Promoting Active Learning with Cases and Instructional Modules

Abstract: In this paper, we propose the use of cases and instructional modules to teach invention, engineering design, and elements of technology management. One way to learn is to study and reflect upon the experience of others. Such experience may be captured in a case. Cases promote active learning by requiring students to assume the roles of participants in the decision making process. Cases are also a vehicle for raising business issues and human resources concerns not usually considered in traditional engineering … Show more

“…Case studies have been utilized in engineering to teach ethics and demonstrate the practical application of learned skills 2,4,6 since the 1960s and 1970s 7 . Data has been collected regarding their use in lieu of, or supplementing, lecture-based delivery of information 1 , and utilizing case studies enables students to actively participate in class and allows them to see engineering as it applies in the real world 8 .…”
