| Summary: | Understanding on the concept of sustainability is the main issue that should be addressed at the earlier stage of education where future engineers are being educated. The aim of this study reports on a comparative study on investigating the impact of pedagogical approaches in inculcating sustainable development amongst the first-year engineering students. Traditional learning and Cooperative Problem-Based Learning (CPBL) were implemented as a pedagogical approach in two different courses of first year engineering students. A mixed method research methodology was utilized to achieve the objective of this study. Results were compared and interpreted to determine the findings. |
