Project-Based Learning Integrating 5E Model for Improving Learning Outcome of Heat Transfer for Students in Mechanical Engineering Program

This paper introduces the implementation of a project-based learning (PjBL) method integrated with the 5E learning model during the introductory phase of PjBL. It aims to illustrate student learning outcomes and increased participation in the heat transfer subject of the Mechanical Engineering program. The chapter on convective heat transfer is selected for the PjBL strategy, involving grouping students and assigning a project to construct a roughness surface to increase the heat transfer rate in a solar air heater. The results show that all student groups were able to develop a project within the given timeframe, and learning achievements are on the rise. Additionally, the opinions of participants prove to be effective
