Learning in troubleshooting of automotive braking system: A project-based teamwork approach

This study deals with the development of a web-based learning framework for troubleshooting in automotive braking system (TiABS) and this framework will support a teamwork-based project design and implementation at the Yung-Ta Institute of Technology (YTIT) for undergraduate engineering students. The objectives of this course are to develop the students' knowledge and skills, such as in the use of inspecting/repairing tools, troubleshooting skills, teamwork and cooperation. The author focuses on the practical implications of the project-based teamwork approach in the learning of automotive braking system from a troubleshooting context perspective. The results of an evaluation show that the project-based teamwork approach to learning troubleshooting in automotive braking system performs to expectations. The author's experience and students' evaluations reveal that students like the practical components of the course and are interested in the use of the learning-by-doing approach. The author believes that other technical schools with engineering practice curricular will benefit from this approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
