Learning Through Integrative Practical Cases in Engineering Education. A Case Study on Structural Dynamics

Abstract

Introduction. In the field of engineering education, there is a constant pursuit to enhance pedagogical methods to ensure effective and meaningful learning for students. Objective. To explore the implementation of real-life practical cases based on experiential information as integrative problems in engineering education. Discussion. By presenting the example of vehicle analysis for the structural dynamics course, it is examined how these cases can be adapted and modified using real data as a foundation, enabling students to actively reflect and construct their learning. Conclusions. It is suggested to integrate real-life practical cases into engineering education, allowing students to reflect and construct their learning, thus promoting the fulfillment of competencies and the educational program's profile.
