The 4th consortium meeting of project ALIEN took place in Hanoi, Vietnam. The meeting took place on December 4-6 and was organized by the University of Hanoi. During the meeting the partners had the opportunity to discuss the deployment of project outcomes, and specifically the ALIEN PBL labs that have been developed at the Asian universities and the digital PBL platform within courses and broader learning activities in their engineering departments and schools. In addition, a transnational instructor training event was organized in which instructors from Vietnam, Pakistan, and Greece practiced problem-based learning activities by competing on building durable bridges with basic materials, namely spaghetti and adhesives. The activity was widely enjoyed by the audience and provided them with ideas on how to liven their classrooms through problem-based learning design.…

The ALIEN project problem-based learning lab at the University Tenaga Nacional is almost ready! The lab will be used in engineering courses for enriching collaboration, interaction, and engagement.
