Abstract

The Engineering Economics course is a compulsory subject for civil engineering students at Andalas University in semester 7. The learning achievement of this course is that students can analyze and make decisions about infrastructure investment. Infrastructure is often associated with basic facilities for public purposes such as roads, toll roads, stadiums, bridges, building construction, electricity networks, dams and other public facilities. In engineering economics courses, students must conduct a feasibility study on infrastructure so that the infrastructure has maximum benefits in supporting a region’s economy. Using Problem Based Learning method, some of the activities carried out can improve students’ abilities in terms of time management. In this study, the statistical modelling technique used Structural Equation Modelling so that the analysis carried out was in the form of factor analysis, path analysis and regression. The values obtained from this SEM are R squared, path coefficient analysis, and Predictive Relevance analysis indicate that the PBL method can increase the self-learning value of students.
