Self-learning website development through online internet knowledge among engineering students

Abstract

This paper presents a study on self-learning website development through online internet knowledge among engineering students. The objective of this study is to analyze how capable and experience students' skills on self-learning with online internet knowledge to develop their own website. Students are exposed to technology and online communication in today's learning environment which has motivated this research to identify engineering students' skills and independence level. Two engineering students group from Faculty of Electrical Engineering are chosen which are the Electronic students and Communications Engineering students which consist of 32 and 26 students. They are addressed to develop a website by self-learning from online internet knowledge. Students are to follow set of derived rules and criteria tracked by some rubrics for their score marks. Website development involved planning and designed in the methodology. Analysis present most students can develop their self-learning website but some are unable to follow the derived rules and rubrics. This means that they are not capable in presenting a good website designed. Results present Electronic engineering students are far better than communications engineering students. Best result are presented by the electronics group where 84.4% score with grade A and above compared to Communications group that presented only 19% scored with the same grade although studied has targeted that communication's students are more capable to develop their own website.
