Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in a Continuously Improving Chemical Engineering Laboratory Experience
Carlos J. Landaverde-Alvarado
Chemical Engineering Education, v58 n2 p120-130 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 evaluate course content using a continuous improvement framework to ensure the laboratories promote the development of skills required by the work environment and effectively serve all program stakeholders.
