Some methods, such as active learning, project-based learning, problem-based learning, and experiential-based learning, have significantly impacted the studentsâ?? understanding of a particular subject. However, students will still have problems integrating the materials learned from one course to other courses. Thus, this is where the proposed initiative comes in. This paper discusses the implementation of integrated project-based learning (IPBL) to assist students in integrating the knowledge gained from one course to the other for first-year chemical engineering students of Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS. The mapping of assessments and learning domains to the learning activities are also shown in detail. This study was conducted on two courses offered in the same semester, namely, Principles of Chemical Engineering and Chemical Engineering Fluid Mechanics, in January 2019. A total of 214 students grouped in 43 teams were asked to develop a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) hydraulic jack, which uses the fundamentals taught in these two courses. The results show that 100 student was able to come up with a working prototype within 5 weeks and 90 of the students agree that the initiative increased their understanding in chemical engineering fundamentals and developed their leadership, problem-solving, communications and time management skills. © 2021 Institution of Chemical Engineers ID - scholars15073 KW - Engineering education; Fluid mechanics KW - Chemical engineering students; Engineering fluid mechanics; Engineering fundamentals; Integrated project; Learning Activity; Problem based learning; Project based learning; Student-centered learning KW - Students PB - Elsevier B.V.
