Abstract:
In recent years, engineering education has witnessed a significant
transformation, shifting away from traditional lecture-driven approaches
toward more dynamic, student-centered pedagogies. At Universiti Malaysia
Sabah (UMS), this evolution has been embraced wholeheartedly through
innovative teaching methods aimed at empowering students to become
active participants in their learning journeys. Recognizing the urgent need to
prepare future engineers for real-world problem-solving and lifelong learning,
UMS has strategically integrated frameworks that blend technology,
pedagogy, and structured learning outcomes. Among the most promising
innovations is the integration of the TPACK (Technological, Pedagogical, and
Content Knowledge) framework with SOLO (Structure of the Observed
Learning Outcome) taxonomy, a powerful approach designed specifically to
enhance the effectiveness of teaching and learning in complex courses such
as Process Simulation.
