A. Piironen, A. Ikonen, K. Saurén, P. Lankinen (2009).  CHALLENGE BASED LEARNING IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION. 9.

In this paper the implementation of Challenge Based Learning in Embedded Engineering as a part of CDIO Syllabus in Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences is studied and described. The Challenge Based Learning (CBL) method and its implementation is based on a study of project based learning in engineering education started in former EVTEK University of Applied Sciences during academic year 2004. [1] The project studied and described in this paper is the 6th challenge based learning project and will take place during the spring semester of academic year 2008 - 2009. The paper focuses on introducing the implementation of the on-going project during the academic year 2008 - 2009, the study of learning outcomes and most important the amount of resources required from the lecturers and the amount of time students have used in the project. A discussion of the experiences of tutoring lecturers is also included as well as some recommendations for arranging a similar learning event.
