I agree with you that project based course is better that banking model. But my concern is in project base course, you learned a lot about the concepts you applied in your project and part of the course would not be taken seriously by students.

Comment on Future of the University: Teaching or Research? by atiehv
let me disagree with you about your point about top universities. I was at Harvard for a year and I had a chance to audit classes both in MIT and Harvard.

At least my experience is contradict with that.
