Abstract
The pneumatic control circuit is an important basic element that constitutes factory automation in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, and the ability to design and fabricate pneumatic control circuit at the university level is one of the most important educational courses. In this study, it introduced collaborative learning by group, and capstone design technique applied to the subject of design and fabricate of pneumatic control circuit. In addition, it intends to contribute to the innovation of practical engineering education by examining the learning achievement of students. It was investigated analytical skill differences by applying cooperative learning to the experimental group and by applying traditional lecture methods to the comparison group. The experimental group that conducted cooperative learning showed higher academic ability than the comparison group that conducted only traditional lectures, and the t-test results of the significant level p<0.05 also confirmed that there were significant differences between the two groups. It was also responded 13 survey questions in four experimental groups and analyzed the results, showing a high satisfaction level of 4.731 on average. Through this study the design and fabrication of the pneumatic control circuit is more effective in improving students' learning achievement when applying the capstone design technique than when operating as a normal subject and expected to use as a basic material for the development of the curriculum of Capstone design in the future.
