This paper examines the integration of flipped classroom and project-based learning (PBL) methodologies in the Digital Electronics course within the Industrial Electronics Engineering degree program. The flipped classroom approach promotes autonomous theoretical learning outside the classroom through digital resources, such as video lectures, online readings, and tutorials, allowing students to build a foundational understanding of key concepts. In-class time is then dedicated to applying these concepts through structured, collaborative projects, which reinforces their understanding via real-world problem-solving activities. The PBL methodology further complements this approach by engaging students in team-based projects related to critical areas in electronics engineering, such as sensing systems and digital signal processing.

The primary aim of this combined approach is to enhance technical competencies and improve problem-solving skills in a dynamic, interactive learning environment. Additionally, it emphasizes the development of essential soft skills, including collaboration, communication, and time management, which are crucial in professional engineering contexts. Continuous assessment embedded in project work provides ongoing feedback, enabling students to track their progress, address knowledge gaps, and refine their understanding over time.

Preliminary results from the 2023/24 academic year show notable improvements in student performance, reflected in higher grades, increased class participation, and reduced absenteeism. Student surveys reveal better comprehension of complex topics, particularly in digital signal processing, as well as greater autonomy in managing their learning process. However, students have also identified areas for improvement, such as a need for clearer guidance on assignments and additional practical sessions.

Overall, the methodology has been positively received, as evidenced by a significant rise in student interest for final degree projects linked to course topics like digital electronics. This alignment with current industry demands effectively prepares students for technical careers, demonstrating that the combination of flipped classroom and PBL methodologies is both valuable and highly relevant in modern technical education, helping to develop the critical problem-solving skills essential for engineering professions.
