Sažetak
Project Based Learning (PBL) is a teaching method that has re-emerged in recent years as an alternative to traditional education. The demands of the work market have grown in such a way that certain skills are required of young engineers, which cannot be acquired through traditional education. Literature research suggest that PBL is better suited for today’s engineering education, but PBL itself has a few shortcomings compared to the traditional education. This paper details the implementation and the implications of project based learning on an interdisciplinary and a technologically complicated project. The project in the focus is the MemBrain project, a student application to the international competition where the goal was to design and build a passive smart house in which the participants were students and mentors from 13 faculties of the University of Zagreb. The paper gives an introduction into what PBL is and a literature review with a focus on the advantages and disadvantages of PBL. A survey was then carried out among the students of Faculty of Civil Engineering University of Zagreb who participated in the MemBrain project with the goal to examine their opinions on PBL in general and their experience on the project. Those findings were compared to the findings in the literature review and conclusions were made.
