Abstract :
This article describes an experiment conducted during six years at the Institut Supérieur d´Electronique de Paris based on a Project Oriented Learning approach to teach the fundamentals of Electronics. The proposed teaching framework has a dynamic structure, as it adapts and modifies the terms of annual assessments to foster the motivation and interest of students. Results show the effectiveness and the value of this approach for student motivation.
