Engineering education has gradually moved away from knowledge-focused teacher-centered learning to competence-focused student-centered learning to exposing students to different learning activities as experience gained is critical to their knowledge internalization for competence development. Several teaching and learning methods have been introduced to the discipline as an effective alternative accelerator for student learning to intensive lectures and laboratory sessions and contributors supporting the outcome-based learning. However, some instructors may find it challenging to utilize the methods for enriching student learning journeys because specific implications are required for individual methods and the alignment to the content and other course design components. Consequently, this would lead to malfunctioned and unengaged journeys that impede achieving course learning outcomes. Therefore, this paper presents a course planning and preparation toolkit under the view of students to enrich their learning experience. The toolkit is developed based on the LOVE learning experience model and Kolb’s learning cycle. It navigates the instructors through the process of transforming a course into an engaging and constructive learning journey, with a step-by-step visual representation of how to choose and arrange the methods and prepare other course components. An intensive graduate course on Product Design and Development is employed to exemplify the toolkit. |
