It goes beyond the typical teaching methodology by promoting student interaction. This paper presents a PBL trial applied to an undergraduate Digital Electronics course in the Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) program at Chitkara Institute of Engineering and Technology, affiliated with Punjab Technical University (PTU), India. Also included in this paper is the approach to design quasi—open—ended problems for the PBL trial in the basic Digital Electronics course and its delivery. It also includes the comparison of the results for the PBL and traditional pedagogies.  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nchitkara institute of Engineering and technology (ciEt) is affiliated with Punjab technical university (Ptu), Jalandhar, india. the Board of Studies (BoS)—a high level committee of academicians atthe university devises and decides the study scheme (curriculum), syllabi and the broad evaluation strategy for the undergraduate program in EcE. A look at the scheme of this engineering program at the official website of Ptu shows that the approach is very traditional, with a careful listing of objectives and aims of each course in the curriculum for the [lecture/ tutorial and practical hours. it](lecture/ tutorial and practical hours. it)[ ](lecture/ tutorial and practical hours. it)also enlists and details the broad evaluation strategy of the EcE [program. in](program. in) such an environment  \nSPRING 2009 1  \nADvAnCEs In EngInEErIng EDUCATIon Using PBL to deliver course in Digital Electronics  \nwhere the only method to impart technical education is traditional—lecture, tutorial and Practical (l/t/P) and where the affiliating university describes the approach to delivery, it is almost impossible to introduce any other pedagogy, without proving the usefulness of the new approach. in an effort to facilitate the paradigm shift, the authors initiated a series of efforts, to introduce PBl for the courses in undergraduate program of Electronics and communication Engineering (EcE), at ciEt.  \nthe first of these efforts was in the course in Analog Electronics. Encouraged by the success of this trial, the results achieved [1, 2], and by the success of PBl in other similar courses elsewhere in the world [3–5], another PBl course was designed and delivered for the course of Digital Electronics (DE) . this paper describes the syllabus of the Digital Electronics courses, lists the examples of the quasi-open-ended problems designed for the course, delivery of the course, the comparison of results of both of the pedagogies and the feedback, given by the students in support of PBl.  \nII. SYLLABUS OF DIGITAL ELECTRONICS  \nAs prescribed by the affiliating university—the syllabus of Digital Electronics (DE) in the undergraduate program of Electronics and communication Engineering covers the following topics:  \na. number System and Binary code  \nb. Minimization of logic function  \nc. combinational logic circuits  \nd. Sequential circuits  \ne. D/A and A/D converters  \nf. Semiconductor Memories  \ng. logic Families.  \nIII. FORmATION OF ThE TwO ThREADS  \nin order to contrast the pedagogies and results, the class of second year EcE (69 students) was divided into two threads—the PBl thread and the traditional thread.  \n(a) th","cbCaihZR1MV0rR21","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihZR1MV0rR21","pdf",1329229,17,"English","# I.
