ABSTRACT
Project-Based Learning (PBL) is an investigative and practical method of solving and succinctly coming to a conclusion about scientific related topics. The objective of PBL has many implications, but the research on its behalf is used to represent a student’s ability to use their decision making skills, investigative skills, and teacher’s facilitation, without their direct guidance. The structure of Project-Based learning is a collaborative effort by students to organize their findings and exhaust all resources to understand the central concepts hands-on. A very important asset to understanding while incorporating PBL is time management. Time-management allows the student to work at a pace comfortable to them strengthening and honing their scientific research skills. As modern times evolve and we press towards a more advanced technological era, PBL will become more of an intricate factor in not only in classroom environment, but in society as well. Project-Based learning provides scientific culture in a classroom setting.
The investigative process allows teachers to give guidance without relinquishing the answers because that would defeat the purpose of its effectiveness. With inquiries and future models organized consisting of PBL, the technological tools involved will create more practical involvement coming from real world technology, engagement of collaborative efforts, and the expansion of research found through inter-disciplinary sciences.
This paper explores the benefits of PBL and looks at how the technology was implemented with the course curriculum of Data Acquisition Systems. With a wide array of interdisciplinary fields, Project- Based Learning will launch into the future and provide innovative
