Active Learning in Engineering Education
Active Learning in Engineering Education

Project ALIEN aims to improve the quality of higher education by providing more motivating, stimulating, and effective learning contexts based on active learning and problem-based learning that prepare students for their professional life through the development of industry desired competences. ALIEN aims to establish active learning and problem-based learning as strategic educational approaches in engineering higher education. Therefore, it introduces a learning intervention that addresses all challenges that inhibit the wide deployment of active and problem-based in engineering higher education. Infrastructure: ALIEN develops physical PBL labs at 12 partner universities in Asia, and more specifically in Malaysia, Pakistan, Nepal, Vietnam, and Cambodia. Digital services: ALIEN develops digital learning platform that promotes student collaboration in active and problem-based learning contexts towards developing problem-solving capabilities. Instructor training and community building: ALIEN delivers instructor training for facilitating the adoption of active and problem-based learning in classrooms. It further builds a community of educators, students, and other stakeholders for capacity building on the use of active and problem-based learning.
