Since 2013, the fourth-year capstone design courses for the electrical and computer engineering programs at UBC are working only with projects defined by industrial partners. These capstone courses run over two terms (September to April) and are worth 10 credits. The projects involves teams of five students, which follow a common timeline, produce a common set of deliverables, and have a common evaluation scheme –with some latitude for variation based on the nature of the project and the type of partner. A key objective is to include non-technical graduate attributes, the so-called “soft skills”, in our learning outcomes. In this paper, we describe our current course framework, our constraints and design choices, and we report lessons learned and improvements implemented over 6 years.

Teachers must work on learning assignments from home (continuously and as a controlled routine) on an ongoing basis and have the potential to be unproductive to work in a completely new environment and without the supervision of a leader (intense). However, there are a number of ways to deal with this problem, especially preventing teachers from being confused in applying appropriate and effective learning models, as well as continuous professional development, they definitely want to be productive in utilizing their time during the Covid 19 pandemic. Time management must be carried out and controlled properly to improve quality. teacher professionalism as a professional educator. The solution, teaching staff is required to be able to design learning media as an innovation by utilizing online media (online). This research is motivated by the learning outcomes of Building Engineering Education students who program Environmental Engineering Courses are still relatively low below a score of 60 (C value). Self-Directed Learning (SDL) is learning in which the conceptualization, design, implementation and evaluation of learning projects are directed by students. The key point is whether students choose to concentrate on learning. This type of research is classroom action research which is carried out online, this is due to the ongoing covid-19 pandemic. Quantitative data in the form of numbers or scores obtained from student learning outcomes tests. The instrument used in this research is the final test of student learning outcomes. The parameters in this study are the learning outcomes and independence of Building Engineering Education students in the Environmental Engineering course. Plans or targets will be published in the Balanga Journal.
