Abstract

This chapter presents six different ways of using technology for blended learningandshowsthepossiblebenefitsofincorporatingblendedlearningintheengi neering education ofBangladeshinparticularandothersimilarcontexts ingeneral. It further proposes anindustry-focusedactivity-oriented teaching model forfacilitating student-centered teaching in engineering contexts by using blended learning. This chapter provides useful information that will assist in farming teachers’ attitudes toward using blended learning in classroom teaching. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2025.
