that are probably typical of many senior design programs. These included • A process that allowed some students to assume a large portion of the project system design while others minimized their contributions, resulting in variable learning, • A system that made it difficult to evaluate individual students’ work as a team member, • Inconsistent and sometimes untimely mentoring of technical design work because this occurred only as-requested by groups or after identification by another faculty member, also resulting in widely variable learning experiences, • A very heavy mentoring load for the year-long course instructor(s) that gave the course a reputation of being a highly undesirable assignment

Thus, although it is considered acompetition, students do not compete for grades, as there is a fixed and predetermined standardthat determines each project’s grade.

Typically, the PBL approach integrates the theoretical side ofeducation with the practical aspects of a profession, and involves students in not just the solvingof the problem, but also the investigating, developing, explaining, and checking of solutions [3,4]. This pedagogical approach has long been used in medical education, and has more recentlyemerged as an important approach for the undergraduate classroom [4].

implementation of ourapproach.IntroductionEfforts to integrate the teaching of knowledge / skills across a curriculum are wide spread acrossmany institutions with efforts such as Writing Across the Curriculum being undertaken since theearly 1970’s [1]. A “pervasive method” of teaching ethics to law students was described by Link[2] where every professor in every course at the Notre Dame Law School would include ethics intheir course. Each course, thereby, served a dual purpose: the teaching of law as well as theteaching of ethics. Ethics was to be spread widely - be pervasive - throughout the lawcurriculum. Refining this pervasive approach, Davis [3] described a method called “micro-insertion” where knowledge / skills can be added to a course without
