pedagogy is a fully constructivist in which the role of the academicis restricted to that of a facilitator. Active, collaborative and co-operative learning fulfilconstructivist goals44. The traditional course framework, outlined in table 2, has a number ofinherent advantages which enhance constructivist skills. These are: • Formal acquisition of new non-technical knowledge. In a traditional PBL education it is assumed that such knowledge can be acquired in situ, in the context of the problem. In fact, knowledge from humanities and social sciences domains is very complex. Their frameworks are based on competing critical theories with historical, cultural, ethical and political dimensions.

The project had to be relatively long term, multidisciplinary, and it had torequire both technical depth and breadth, problem solving skills, ethical responsibilities,communication skills, effective teamwork and planning skills. The basic idea was to engagestudents in an activity that would emulate as closely as possible the industrial environment theywill be facing soon after graduation providing students with the opportunity to gain the skills andtools needed in the day-to-day practice of engineering. Toward this end, in collaboration with thebiology department, a group of undergraduate electrical engineering students were
