Abstract

In the creation of the syllabi, the pedagogical theory known as the elaboration theory of instruction was used to carefully select the topics to be taught in class. In the classroom presentation, a bottom-up approach was adopted, in which practical and industry examples are used as the first means of introducing concepts, and then an interactive teaching method is used. Students were required to complete a large number of practical design assignments and projects. By this active and inclusive method, the students tended to engage actively and creatively in the course.
