Problem-oriented and project-based learning (Popbl) as an innovative learning strategy for sustainable development in engineering education

Abstract Each and every student is a unique individual who desires a caring and inspiring atmosphere in which to develop intellectually, mentally, and socially. My vision as an educator is to pass on quality education by adopting a novel teaching–learning practice and to contribute to the betterment of society by adopting good certified practices for economic and technological development. As a teacher, my motto is to direct and provide contact to information rather than acting as the main source of information. In our institution, we aim at providing complete value based education to meet the requirements of society. To develop the skills in my students I make them engage in learning by giving them the background of the subjects, its need, and application in the real world. Currently, I am dealing with Antenna and Wave propagation subject for the 3rd year Electronics and Communication Engineering students who have most of the times worked with circuits, software’s, and design devises, etc., without knowing the internal design details and its techniques. This course gives them a clear idea about the communication techniques and also how Antenna plays a vital role in the transmission and receiving process.
