Problem-Oriented and Project-Based Learning (POPBL) as an Innovative Learning Strategy for Sustainable Development in Engineering Education.

TL;DR: In order for engineers to be able to handle sustainability-related problems, their education needs to allow for interplay, mix and diversity; aspects that a problem-oriented and project-based learning approach will involve.

Problem Based Learning

TL;DR: Problem-Based and Project-Based Learning (PBL) is an instructional method that challenges students to "learn to learn," working cooperatively in groups to seek solutions to real world problems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gendered practices of constructing an engineering identity in a problem-based learning environment

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the learning experiences of engineering students of both genders in a problem-based and project-organized learning environment (PBL) at a Danish university and found that studying engineering in a PBL environment involves not only the mastery of technological knowledge but also an engineering identity development process.
MonographDOI

Research on PBL Practice in Engineering Education

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the unifying learning principles along with taxonomies and models for framing the diversity of problem-based and project-based learning in various education systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Forms of implementation and challenges of PBL in engineering education: a review of literature

TL;DR: In the last 40 years, problem-and project-based learning (PBL) has been widely adopted in engineering education because of its expected effectiveness in developing students' professional know-how as discussed by the authors.
