Sažetak
Analyses and surveys at Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture (FESB) showed that, after the application of the Bologna Process for engineering curriculum in 2006. and implementation of Croatian Qualification Framework Law (HKO) in 2013., the students still consider engineering studies to be 'too hard' and 'boring'. It is recognized that one of main reasons for such a description is teaching and learning approach, which is still based on classroom lectures and focused on teaching theories and technical knowledge. Project-based learning (PBL) as a teaching tool is used globally today as a more effective approach in engineering education. The paper presents an illustration of effectiveness of PBL on students' motivation through implementation on GIS course (Graphic Information System) on computer engineering study at FESB. Assessment and evaluation is done based on feedback from students and teachers. Conclusion points out the positive impact on students' motivation but also indicates some potential problems of PBL implementation in specific education environment, like one at FESB.
