Research on Integrating the Critical Path Method into Project-Based Learning for Thermal Design of Electronic Devices
Abstract
This study explores the integration of the Critical Path Method (CPM) into project-based learning for the "Thermal Design of Electronic Devices" course. CPM addresses inefficiencies in traditional PBL by improving task prioritization, time management, and collaboration in thermal design projects. Through project evaluations, surveys, and time management analyses, CPM was shown to enhance students’ skills in managing complex design tasks. The findings demonstrate CPM's potential to strengthen engineering education by providing a structured approach to multidisciplinary project management, with broader implications for related fields.
