Abstract

Outcomes-based Education (OBE) in engineering program focuses in achievement of student outcome. Current engineering student belong to millennial generation wherein their ideal learning envirourment includes less lecture, use of multimedia and collaborating with peers. Using traditional approach in teaching seems not effective in improving studeat performance in problem-solving as shown by decreasing exam scores. A change from the traditional approach to cooperative learning approach have shown positive results in enhancing millennial students' learning in problem-solving topics of a surveying course in Civil Engineering. This study aims share the experience in employing cooperative group learning technique to address the learning needs of the millennial students and improve their problem solving performance.
