In all of his research, the goal is two-fold: (1) exploring fundamental cognitive processes related to learning to add to our theoretical understanding, and (2), where appropriate, applying this knowledge to improve education. An assumption underlying his research approach is that current educational issues provide investigators with some of the most compelling research topics and that rigorous empirical work aids us in making the education process more successful.

Outside of theimprovements in future engineering courses, the use of PjBL has shown to better preparestudents for the workforce and the challenges they may face. However, one concern ofimplementation of PjBL is that it may overwhelm a student especially when conducted in lowerlevel courses. In some cases, schools of higher education may choose to teach lower levelcourses following the conventional lecture format and allow students to participate incompetition teams as an extra-curricular activity.Numerous engineering programs across the world participate in competition programs, such asBaja SAE (Society

The pilot test also showed that a well-designed laboratory series is needed to boostthe success rate of students. Thus, with further training, students can use the platform forindependent projects (senior design, master’s project, etc.).
