Abstract

Engineering education practice has evolved from traditional teacher centered learning to student centered learning in order to provide better understanding of the knowledge to the students in preparation towards job demands. One of the approach in student centered learning is the cooperative learning technique. In this paper, the implementation of cooperative learning technique to students from Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka which participated in the 2011 Perodua Eco-Challenge competition are discussed. Both formal and informal cooperative learning approaches were applied during the project which consists of a group of students with diverse level of knowledge and skills. The effectiveness of the technique was measured in term of project outcome and survey on the participant feedbacks. Limitations of this technique were also highlighted with several recommendations included to better improve on the delivery of the active learning technique for similar project in the future.
