Project Based Learning ((2))

Catalog description

This course on Project-Based Learning (PBL) will introduce the principles for PBL, the Engineering Design Process (EDP), and will provide strategies for integration of these methodologies into a K-12 class setting. Participants will be introduced to many of the fabrication tools found in CSU-Bakersfield's FABLAB and will learn how these tools can be integrated within PBL lessons to support the achievement of students with diverse needs in the K-12 classroom. This course will consist of 16 sessions. During these interrelated activities in program coursework and lab work, participants of this course will design and integrate activities that will promote critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration with their own future students in K-12 classrooms.
