Project-based Learning in FAST

Project-based learning engages students in solving real-world problems and developing practical solutions. This approach addresses knowledge gaps and enhances key skills such as creativity, critical thinking, and digital literacy. Through hands-on projects, students are encouraged to innovate, collaborate, and apply new technologies, fostering a culture of continuous improvement. The interdisciplinary and collaborative nature of project-based learning ensures that diverse perspectives contribute to problem-solving, resulting in more innovative and impactful outcomes.

During the Fall 2024 semester, Humber’s Information Technology (IT) Solutions Graduate Certificate and Electronics Engineering Technology Advanced Diploma Programs are implementing project-based learning approach in several courses with the aim to bridge the gap between theoretical education and practical application, preparing students for the complexities of the real world. This pilot will then expand to other semesters, with the long-term goal of implementing project-based learning for programs in Faculty of Applied Sciences & Technology.

This project aligns with Humber's commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging (EDIB) and Indigenous Ways of Being, Knowing, and Doing (IWBKD) by incorporating diverse perspectives and promoting inclusive education that supports different learning styles.
