Journal of engineering education transformationsSummary: Project Based Learning (PBL) is an instructional technique constructed upon learning activities and real problems that have brought challenges for students to solve. The PBL is an innovative approach learning that teaches students not just content, but also important skills for success in the 21st century. The attempt has been made to integrate the skills through to teaching and 21st-century PBL implemented to the course Kinematics of Machines. The PBL allows students to work on their own ideas/concepts and make decisions that affect project outcomes and the learning process. The main objective of PBL is to develop high quality and the authentic mechanism that fulfills the desired need. The research focused on developing 21st-century skills of Mechanical Engineering students in the second year of Engineering through PBL activity. The data was collected through observations, evolution rubrics, and student feedback. The results showed that students developed their creativity, communication and presentation, time management, self-assessment, group participation, leadership, critical thinking skills. PBL approach focuses on have and real-world problem-solving decision-making problems and challenges using, investigation and skills. The intention of this study is to investigate the effect of PBL on student's skills and learning outcomes.
