Description
Summary:	This paper discussed on the design of learning material for engineering course based-on practice and application oriented. The approach requires students to experience the professional practice of their specialization and then apply their knowledge to solve industrial related problems. The concept is well established abroad in Germany's universities and other universities in Europe and Australia. UTeM is committed towards producing graduates who have scientific and professional strength in the field of expertise, strength in applying and practicing the knowledge that they have learned and personal competencies in lifelong learning. The program structure, the curriculum and the syllabus need to be revised from time to time in order to meet the objectives. The paper focused on designing a lab material for subject control systems engineering. The practice based-learning material is illustrated and discussed on topics of modeling DC motor and designing PI, PD and PID controller. The paper also explained the typical conventional method and the proposed practice based-learning approach that have been introduced to undergraduate engineering students. A significant advantage of this method is that it offers a deeper understanding and skill for students to integrate between theory and practice.
