Measuring Student Perceptions Of Case Based Instruction In An Engineering Course

One method that has been used as an alternative to the lecture based method of instruction and has produced positive results in the classroom is case-based instruction. Case-based instruction is an instructional technique that has been hypothesized to teach students to learn skills necessary for success as an engineer in the field. 1 The current study focuses on comparing the case-based method of instruction and the lecture based method of instruction in a more uniform way that will allow future researchers to understand the impact of case-based instruction on student learning.
