IMPACTS OF PRACTICAL TEACHING IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION

Ulas Kubat

Abstract


Engineering has contributed enormously to the comfort and well-being of individuals, as well as to communities and societies. Engineering works need to be carefully designed and implemented, since any failure will lead to serious consequences and great suffering. As in medicine, law and the other professions, a rational teaching system is also necessary for an effective engineering education. It was understood that engineers are likely to obtain great benefits through effective practical training and observations for a fruitful engineering career. Better efficiency was thought to be obtained if more practice-oriented activities were included within the current teaching system related to engineering.
