Servant-Miklos, Virginie; Holgaard, Jette E.; Kolmos, Anette – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2023
The purpose of this study was to identify patterns of change in students' awareness of, interest in and engagement with sustainability issues during the process of acclimatisation to their PBL engineering studies, and to look for differences between engineering disciplines with respect to these aspects. This study used a longitudinal qualitative…

Carlos J. Landaverde-Alvarado – Chemical Engineering Education, 2024
We redesigned our undergraduate laboratories to create a structured sequence that continuously improves the learning experience of students. We utilized a PBL and PjBL approach in which students are progressively introduced to ill-structured open-ended problems, the development of projects, and the creation of research products. We dynamically…

Mitchell, John E.; Nyamapfene, Abel; Roach, Kate; Tilley, Emanuela – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2021
Many traditional engineering schools are struggling to balance the calls to provide an innovative engineering education that meet the demands of graduates and their employers with the constraints and momentum of their existing curriculum. In this paper we present the conceptual design behind a framework that integrates existing discipline-specific…

Kolmos, Anette; Holgaard, Jette Egelund; Clausen, Nicolaj Riise – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2021
Problem- and project-based learning (PBL) has been seen as one of the pedagogical models to bridge the knowledge gab between education and work. This article reports a study of students' preparedness from a systemic PBL university to enter work life. Theoretically, a conceptual understanding of a systemic PBL is presented including four elements:…

Podges, J. M.; Kommers, P. A. M.; Winnips, K.; van Joolingen, W. R. – American Journal of Engineering Education, 2014
This study, undertaken at the Walter Sisulu University of Technology (WSU) in South Africa, describes how problem-based learning (PBL) affects the first year 'analog electronics course', when PBL and the lecturing mode is compared. Problems were designed to match real-life situations. Data between the experimental group and the control group that…

Lappalainen, P. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2010
The changes facing industries are necessitating a concomitant change in university curriculum. Before instigating a reform, however, education providers need to acquire an understanding of the most pertinent development needs essential for filling industrial competence gaps. The Language Centre at the Helsinki University of Technology in Finland…
