Abstract

The usefulness of project-based courses for improving the technical as well as generic skills of engineering students is emphasized. A case study is presented to demonstrate that in contrast to a traditional laboratory-based course, a project-based course involving design, implementation, and testing of assigned projects greatly increases students' interest in practical work and significantly improves their technical as well as soft skills.
