Problem based learning approach in programmable logic controller

Abstract

The revealing and changing trends in information and communication technology (ICT), as well as the automation control system had suggested the new competence and learning such as skills of critical thinking, problem solving, decision making, team working and so on are more important and critical rather than students are often forced to muddle through group processes in the effort to learn. This learning process is being utilised to our students in Electrical Engineering using Problem Based Learning approach, for example Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) subject which will be described in this paper.
