Abstract:

Project-based learning is a key format in engineering design education. However, many students face difficulties due to a lack of prior knowledge required for successful project participation. To address this issue, we developed e-learning content to support students during the self-study time in preparation for the project work. This paper presents an evaluation of the impact of the e-learning content when used alongside project-based activities. The results indicate increased student confidence in developing mechatronic systems and a positive effect on acquiring professional competencies.
