A Study on Case-Based Learning in Engineering Graduate Education

Abstract:

Research capacity of an engineering graduate student is significant guarantee and support for national science and technology development. Because of the variation of graduate recruitment policies and national requirements, a new teaching method is in urgent need. A teaching method proposed in this paper, use case-based learning as a starting point, not only helps students think independently but also trains all-round abilities like communication, collaboration, presentation etc.
