How to develop student’s skills in independent learning and enquiry.

We live in the age of rapid technological innovations, with intelligent technology on the front and capable to perform tasks normally solely conducted by humans. This creates need for universities to focus on developing student’s skills in independent learning and readiness to orient in ever changing technological landscape. The need is well recognized by many universities, BTH included. If we look at program goals of our engineering programs, most of the programs have clearly defined goals to produce independent problem solvers.

In this presentation I am going to share my experiences and practices from software engineering project courses to develop and improve students’ skills in doing exactly that – independent problem solving and enquiry. I hope you will find the presentation interesting, welcome!
