Welcome to the Research page. This page wouldn’t exist without the great support
of the Wellington Institute of Technology where the author has the honour of
lecturing to Electrical, Mechanical and Civil Engineering students.
In this paper I present the results of applying project based
learning approach to electrical engineering. Project Based Learning is a
teaching method that provides students with complex problem that
involves students in problem solving, decision making, investigative
skills, reflection, communication skills and use of modern technologies.

In this paper I share my experience of a paper free approach to
teaching engineering students. A paper free approach offers substantial
advantages over the conventional, paper based method. It allows one to
eliminate the substantial cost of colour printing. It makes it possible for
the teacher to have very flexible course materials (on the fly alteration).
The logistics of getting the assessments from the students and returning
the feedback are greatly simplified. The seven year assessment record is
stored electronically eliminating the need for expansive storage space.
The paper free delivery method allows the use of interactive
materials, including videos and flash animations, that otherwise could
not be included in to the course notes. The approach offers students an
on-line access to the course notes, assessments, marks, feedback and
latest announcements. A paper free approach also reinforces the key
computer skills students need and prepares them for the real world
environment.
